 | Running (Trails) 2:13:00 [3] 11.5 mi (11:33 / mi) +125m 6:57 / km | |

| Long tri training. Ran from Erin Meadows CC to the Culham Trail and south to Erindale Flats and back. Started on 10 minute runs, 1 minute walks and went to 4 & 1 cooldown with 2 miles to go. Calfs were stiff from biking and right knee had a dull ache but the run went well. Tweaked left ankle while asleep and wore a support but was not an issue. It appears I can do the distance but need to put the works together and increase the speed for the triathlon. Also need to work on nutrition!! Burn - 1250 kcal. |

| Start of half Ironman training. Biked north of Milton. Had a cramped left calf but not a big deal. Left knee was sore which was the norm 2 years ago but it has not been a problem for over 2 years. Perhaps weakened it playing baseball Thursday and should wear a support. Overall bike felt good though I still have more quad strength than hamstrings and calves. Burn - 2060 kcal. |

Tuesday Jul 1 |
 | Adventure Racing (Kayaking) 32:00 [2] 5.4 km (5:56 / km) | |
| |
| Lazy cruise into Byng Inlet to conclude the trip. Lots of boat traffic in this major channel. Locals had a Canada Day boat flotilla to mark Britt's 140th anniversary.
Kayaking is quite different than canoeing. Seems faster as there are no portages but gear requirements are different as bags have to fit into boat compartments. Definitely something to try elsewhere in the future.
