Running 2:15:39 [3] 23.07 km (5:53 / km) +630m 5:10 / km
shoes: Brooks CP6 Green
BGY wanted to find Jim Willet who is trying to break the record on running the Bruce trail. Apparently his support crew abandoned ship and he needed help. Goose was game for the hunt too.
We guessed at his speed and joined the trail heading towards him some 22km from his start. After about 5k we finally got a text, and it turned out that he'd passed our starting point and was well South of us. He'd found his van but had no driver. There was poor communication, and confusion between Mono Cliffs and Mono Mills.
We hoofed it back at a good pace, then Goose ran to Creemore to meet Coach LD while we drove to mulmur hills to find Jim. He was a bit dazed from 400k of running, but Cody Gilles was there to run with him. We shuttled his van South of Mono Cliffs, then we ran up to meet them.
We were really surprised to see how fast Cody and Jim were going! They were hammering the downhills, and probably doing 5-6 min kms on the flats. No ultra shuffle!
BGY and I turned back after a while, and got over 20km in, almost all new to us. The Boyne valley has some pretty sustained hills, for Ontario
Jim is doing well, but the soles of his feet are really sore. He's a talented runner but hasn't really planned things to the last detail- his Bruce maps are years out of date and he has no crew, but a friend will drive his van tomorrow.
