Note
Female recumbent rider just tied the all-time male Time Trial record at the Texas TT 12 hour- a course with a lot of climbing.
Interesting unfaired FWD recumbent TT machine.

Flat but gorgeous ride with Bash on the Algonquin Rail Trail.
Colours were jaw-dropping! Lots of bear scat on the trail.
They're extending the trail quite a way West. There were about 6km of new trail this time.

Gorgeous run on the Mizzy Lake loop with Bash. Great fall colours on a cloudy day after a rainy night.
My knee felt just fine until I opened it up for a couple of short fast speed intervals on the rail trail.
I think that the increased range of motion needed to run fast is what's hurting my knee- I had the same problem after speed intervals before WT.

Easy paddle out to our wedding rock.

Out to work and back via singletrack with Bulletdog. She's getting some speed back after a summer too hot for her to run.
Can't wait for Bazingadog to be old enough to come biking.
He worked a full day yesterday while Bash was out running, and he was a good little fellow.

Out hanging the flags for the Palgrave Cat's Cradle O-training for next Tuesday.
Time includes running the actual course, and hanging and labeling all the control flags. My knee told me that was enough.
Managed to only pick up a couple of burrs, and kept my feet dry.
It should take an hour or so at a reasonable pace. Good thing- it gets dark by 7:30 PM.

Cycling 1:30:00 [3]
Back out early with Bash (Whose idea was that to go biking early after last night's festivities?) for more biking on the Barrens. We did an out-and-back on the snowmobile trail portion of LRS too, before doing the bigger loop.
This kind of riding will spoil us for what we usually do- it's so much fun bouncing along with great traction on smooth-ish rock.
Made it back in time for brunch at Pine Crest- yum!
Perfect weather for a perfect weekend, and a perfect wedding!

Early morning run with Harps and Best Man Phats back on the barrens. At one point some duck-hunting bozos fired off a shotgun and Phats flew down backwards like he'd been clotheslined. Our yelling didn't dampen the hunters' enthusiasm.
Knee was pretty good after! Back to Pine Crest for Phatty Jr and 2-min's wedding- details to follow.

Off for a ride on the LRS course at Torrance Barrens with Bash, before checking in at Camp Pinecrest.
Met up with Harps also riding the rocks, but Bash broke a chain so we sent him on ahead. There's still part of a quick-link out there.
Great riding on this nice rocky terrain- beats mud, roots and logs. The 'bent loves it!

Off to my environmental meeting in Caledon East. Starting off freezing on the way home in the dark was good incentive not to dawdle.
Bentblaster V2.2 is a better bike light- it was perfect!

Strength 30:00 [3]
Solid Forest Fit workout- decline and clap pushups, pull-ups and hanging rowing, KBs, and core with extra weight of Bazingadog climbing all over me.
Orienteering 1:15:00 [2]
More work on the orienteering map for the CN training, then a run to work.
Checking out areas to avoid. Looks like some areas that look clear on the map are now nettle-and-bur-hell.
You're welcome.

Cycling 2:15:00
Down to Albion for the Fall Five running race. I pre-rode, was the pace bunny for both races, and did sweep duties. In between races I got some good singletrack riding in, as well as more on the way home. Trails in A++ condition.
The 5K was won in 17:09, with a huge margin over second. Pretty quick for a fairly hilly doubletrack trail race. The 2.5k came down to a sprint finish between a boy and girl in under 9 minutes. We should video these kids for technique!

Off to Albion to ride the NE singletrack, then to the farm to load up on local organic goodies. Massive load to ride home with- it's squash season.
My cold's getting evil, so kept it short.

Took the dogs out to the yard to burn off energy, while I did forest-fit.
Pushups, pull-ups on the trees, outdoor kettlebells. Next into the gym for most of workout 3, plus foothab and core.

Singletrack to work with the pooch. Hmm, can still feel the knee- maybe granny gears next time on the hills.

Easy commute back in the dark with the pooch. It's Bentblaster Light season again.

Knee feels better on the bike than on the run. Climbing legs seem OK.

Easy scoot back with Bulletdog. She was thrilled to see Bazingadog when we got home, and they put on an amazing jaw-jousting and wrestling demo for V02Max and Bullseye when they came to visit.

Easy trot around the 'hood with Bulletdog to see how the knee feels after a week off. Post WT I could feel it all right despite the total rest. Oh well, no races planned for months.
Strength (Home Gym + KB) 40:00 [1]
Foothab, kneehab, workout 2 + KBs, or at least as much as the wrestling hounds would allow.
Jet-lagged and not very energetic.
