Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Easy spin to loosen up the dodgy left ham/glute after a lot of sitting yesterday (Banff Film Festival)

C • BMFF 8

Short outing with the dogs between rainstorms.

Chilly but sunny ride in with Adventuredog. -11C and I got my hands chilled putting the seat on the bike after extracting it from the van. Nice singletrack scoot without much ice.
Getting a bit soft in spots on the way home but still mostly frozen.
Adventuedog had a nice frolic with 2 big 9 month old Wiemeraners who are moving into the 'hood.

Mix of kayak and canoe stroke

Rehab and workout 1. Hamstring looser but still tight.

-8C, bluebird day for an extended ride in with the big guy. Took the Farm loop, Charlevoix and Rollercoaster on nice frozen ground while it lasts.

Commute with the big boy. I thought the trails would be clear, but there's still ice. The Razors were adequate, but definitely not ready for summer shoes yet.
Slushy/mucky run back. Big guy was great on his extendaleash instead of harness, but he did want to visit the cows on the hill next door.

Hockley with Storm, Scout and Contour while Logan the Adventuredog went with the ladies.
Beautiful sunny calm day. Dogs were great- both on ski harnesses. Nobody got pulled on their face, even on steep frozen slopes or thawing mud over frozen ground.
We had some longer stops to give the dogs drinks as the creeks are frozen over. After the first half they just trotted calmly, and when we met the ladies Contour wasn't too keen to continue.

Nice lunch at the Black Birch after.

Note- hamstring was sore in the second half. Poles helped.
