Cycling 30:00 [3] 8.7 km (3:27 / km)
Beresford --> Elm (rainy rain rain!)
Cycling 30:00 [3] 8.7 km (3:27 / km)
Got a FLAT !!! small nail stuck through my tire.
Was trying to make it to the gym, and then home for the tricksters but... Happy Halloween !!!! ....
FLAT
euuuuuhh.
= change of plans
Instead of streaming to the gym before the tricksters came,
I made my way to the shop, walking and reading my book (with my bike... ) yes yes it takes talent.
In a quick save me move,
Bikes on Wheels slot me in and told me to come back in 45min. I sat and had a wonderful coffee (still reaading my book). All the while knowing that the tire will not be exploding in my face this time.
Got William Wallace the Whale back and
Made it to Dollorama, and home in time for the tricksters! hey!
Our pumkins were very sad! We cut them up last weekend (they looked great!!) and then.... We didn't put them out side...
So by Halloween they were a pile of mush! Orange mush at least (well for the most part)

Cycling 1:50:00 [3] 30.9 km (3:34 / km)
Elm --> Salomon Store --> Beresford
the Elm --> Salomon Store part was fine! .... but the Salomon Store --> Beresford part was torture!
Was very tired, had not eaten (yes yes, poor planning I know) and ended up with a bad case of the RT (aslo know as runners trots! youpi)
Barely made it home, man that was a hard way back,... and it was pretty cold too.
Must plan better!!!

Running (Trail run) 1:27:00 [4] 11.0 km (7:55 / km)
AWESOME! It was really fun!
I need a good headlamp! (mine just conks out all the time) and my bike light doesn't cut it.
The group is fun and wacky.
We ran out on what should be a trail, but it being fully covered in leaves it adds challenge, + the challenge of it being foresty spooky dark!!
Had a good chat with D and WandAR.
The first half was smooth sailing, knee started up 30min in but eased. I think if I concentrate on "FORM" the knee pain subsides.
That was fine, but cramp monsters started setting in... mostly right calve but also lefty... hum..
really had to ease off once they started acting up.

Nike Training group
It was a pretty sweaty and intense, did 1min max reps of a whole series of exercises. I can't do bicycle very well [or toes to hands] . Abs are a little weak :)
Made myself my own little sweat puddle. There was so many gals there! That is what you get when it is [Free] but ... well worth it still.

Cross training 30:00 [3]
lap around Dog bowl - and then team WOD in park
was matched up with someone that was not as strong, and so I did not get to go all out.
However, I was feeling pretty shitty so I took it as a good thing, I was just happy to be out!

Cross training 40:00 [4]
We started with squats, I didn't know what my max squat is, so i just added 20 or 10 lbs each round.
I finished with 5 reps at 125 lbs.
then the WOD:
reps 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Toes to bar (but I did knee ups on the rings). My hands could not withstand hanging from the bar that long! i can only do a few actual toes to bar.
then handstand push ups, I tried to do these on the box head down but it was very hard for me and I was afraid of hurting myself. SS suggested I simply do normal push ups on a box, and that worked much better (although still very hard)!
It was fun, but I felt very tired! ! (physically)... progressing through this WOD was difficult. Finished last, dragging my feet, only cause i had nothing in the tank.
