| Easy one in Cootes with TVP and Greta. A little stiff from yesterday, shows how much speed training i've done this year (i.e. zero). |

| What a gorgeous day out today! This is why Autumn is my favourite season of the year. Warm breeze and fabulous sunshine. Beats the fleece and long johns i was in up north this weekend.
Chedoke-Iroqouia Loop. Felt sluggish at first after being off for a few days and then just picked it up to race pace tempo. I think i'm a little dehydrated after the cottage i.e. beer to water ratio favoured the former.

| Chedoke-Iroquois. Rt hammy tight through the whole run from the sprint yesterday. Nice drizzle but deceivingly humid out.

| Tested the Elite mens sprint course at Mac for Hammer. Can't say much except its fast and furious and definately a fun course! Winning time estimated at 15 min, ran it in 18.5 without doing speed work in a very very long time. |

| 5Peaks Albion 21k (enduro + sport courses). A nice wet run which wasn't really technical but rather a long boring run encompassing a lot of double track and grass running (boo!) like XC. I guess they couldn't get access to the single track due to MTBing. Overall a decent race with some serious man eating puddles in the last 4k.
Only peeve was the the course marking at the end where you had to run up a hill and take a hard right down hill. While most of the course was well marked (and overkill in some sections), i don't understand why they didn't either flag it more obviously or put a big arrow sign telling you to go right. They had a marshall who at the bottom of the hill who told me in passing that you had to go up hill then down hill before the finish period. When i got up to the top you could have either went left or right, however the flagging clearly indicated left going further uphill with uphill being the key phrase. Since i was on my own i chose left when it was actually right to a downhill. After figuring out that i wasn't on course i headed back to find the marshall on the false hill top directing traffic (WTF!!). Not that i'm bitter however i am disappointed since it cost me 1st on the podium for my age cat. where i ended up 2nd. The 1st place guy was 1 minute faster than me. I figure i lost a soild 2-3 mins. Thats life;) Good way though to end off the season..unless i get roped into doing something else big.
Check out this trail race in the fall. Night Trail Race

| Entered the 5peak Albion 21k. Last "big" race of the season. Going to just have fun at this one. I'm just out of the running for a podium 3rd in my age cat points for the 10k so decided to to the longer one instead. Should have done the Dundas race in retrospect.
Interestingly i saw one of my old roommates today as a new grad student. |
