Hafta trail run with the dogs.

Running 45:00 [3]
Run along the Kate Pace trail in North Bay after a marathon meeting but before my flight. Turned out to not be the best idea as it poured rain and I had to get back on the plane as a drowned rat.

Cycle 55:00 [3]
4 hill repasts of gravel road at Kelso with Storm. Slipped out only once on the loose crap.

Paddle 4:00:00 [3] 23.0 km (10:26 / km)
To wrap up our canoe trip we finished our loop from Louisa across a 3k portage (and found my pace counting was 240 paces off with the weight of a barrel and canoe on my back half the time). Heading north to Lake of Two Rivers, we did not have the luxury of portages just lakes and rivers and this really felt a lot closer to what I imagine Wilderness Traverse will feel like in a month.
The loop doesn't totally connect Lake of Two Rivers with Cache Lakes (without a painful trip up an oxbow river) and so I thought it would be a great idea for Storm to drop me off on a rail trail that sort of connects the loop. The idea being to pick up the mini van and bring it back to the final campground on Hwy 60.

Running 1:30:00 [3] 11.0 km (8:11 / km)
So I didn't look at the map closely when I planned this out but it wasn't the 5k flat run I thought I'd get, but rather 7k flat run, followed by a 3k portion of the rugged Track and Tower hiking trail and another km on a busy highway.
Storm was getting worried it took me so long but the route back to the van was not quite so easy, followed by me not remembering the right campground Sean was waiting at.
We finally connected and burgers were had by all.
Good AR practise!

Paddle 4:30:00 [3] 20.0 km (13:30 / km)
Canoe trip with Storm to Algonquin. We put in last night at Cache Lake just in time to find a campsite on Tanamakoon Lake. Scout came along with us but Contour stayed over with The Bashes.
We headed out as soon as the fog and mist cleared, working our way south to Lake Louisa via Head and Harness lakes and over 3500m in portaging through the day. I liked the frequent portages as my arms and shoulders have gotten soft.
We found and awesome site on Louisa and Storm got to nap in the hammock which means he may never adventure race again!

Cycle 1:08:00 [3] 17.0 km (4:00 / km)
Storm joined me for a mtn bike with 4 tough climbs. No matter how many better ideas I had than climbing up the gravel road, Storm kept insisting on repeats of this nasty bugger of a hill.
Wednesday Aug 23, 2017 #

Trail run at Hafta with Storm and The Muppets.

Mini core workout.

8 AM
Cycle 1:35:00 [3] 24.0 km (3:58 / km)
Mountain bike up the escarpment through Kelso (avoiding all of the meadow areas now because of the tick incident), and then over to Hilton Falls for some hilly double track, then back up the gravel hill in Kelso (with swearing) . Gasser of a workout for 24km, I'm beat!
8 PM
Running hills 1:06:00 [3]
4 hill repeats up 14th sideroad. I didn't start until 8pm so it was kind of creepy on the hill. I could hear dogs yipping in the fields.

Cycle 1:30:00 [3] 20.0 km (4:30 / km)
Easy ride in HAFTA with some old friends....forgot how enjoyable it is to stop at every intersection and chat while everyone catches up.
7 PM
Running 1:00:00 [3]
Trail run with Scout at Kelso. We descended Fire and climbed up the switchback but I didn't let her tow me (even though she was totally willing).

Cycle loop into Kelso and up the gravel road for the first time this year.
Running 1:00:00 [3]

Running 1:00:00 [3] 9.0 km (6:40 / km)
Run in Hafta with Contour, Scout and Kathie. We let the pups off leash and Contour almost passed, until he wandered off into the woods for 2 minutes. Good grief - how do I keep him on the trail? Nobody tell Storm!
Saturday Aug 5, 2017 #
Running 30:00 [3]
Run Contour first thing.
Cycle 40:00 [3] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)
First time ever mtn biking with Scout!
She's a bit nervous of the bike but the extra wide trails at Hafta made it easy for us both. We even tried a bit of singletrack and she was okay with me leading, and even waited when I slipped off a wet rock and fell into the bushes.
