Run (Trails) 1:29:03 [3] 8.3 mi (10:44 / mi)
Trail run at Pine haven with pack. Some trees down on the trail. They were doing some work to smooth out the 2-track sections - fill in eroded parts, remove trees. That would have been nice earlier in the year. I thought they were preparing for xc ski season, but it was actually to prepare for the "Mud Creek Crawl" next weekend.
Ran hard on up/down hills. Some downhills were too steep to really let loose, but I did what I could. Found a good loop at the back of the park that took about 8 minutes and involved a flat, one hill, a flat, and then 3 consecutive hills. Did that 3 times before continuing on with the rest of the trail. I didn't even fall once, though I did come close.

Paddle (Kayak) 2:03:36 [3] 7.5 mi (16:29 / mi)
Watch died even though it said at the start that I had 3 hours left. Lesson learned - charge it up!
Decided to take advantage of the wing blade paddles in my car and see how I liked them. It's definitely a different feel from the my normal blade - especially when doing something other than a straight stroke. It does seem faster, though it's hard to tell on a river workout since the speed of the water can vary your distance.
Workout was 15 minutes steady state, 15 minutes tempo, repeat for 2 hours. River was apparently moving faster than in recent trips because I turned around at 1:05 and got back to my starting point at 1:47. Got to go down to the tridge and back to get my full time.
