Nice run to the Wheelies pond with the dogs. The big guy had a great time fetching sticks, and he finally taught his little brother to go in over his head to fetch, and swim efficiently. Both dogs swam to their hearts' content,

Commute with AD. Got him to go in the creek up to his belly so he stayed cool, and set a solid pace home. He's getting the hang of trotting along on leash in town beside the bike.
Strength (Core) 20:00 [3]
Caron's core class. Some nasty groin-splitters I had to cheat on.
Yoga 50:00 [1]
Lots of boat pose stuff that beat my tailbone bloody, even with a second extra cushy mat.
Otherwise a good class. 2 dogs at class too.

SS Relay on Don't Get Lost 2.
My physio didn't want me to do this to my heel, but I wanted to run it, even though I knew I didn't have the speed work or tempo under my belt.
Fantastic day for a run in the DV. Perfect conditions, dry trails, no 25K runner traffic. I watched the HR and kept it reasonable. My slowest time ever on the relay, but I had expected around 95 min so I'm fine with it.
Thanks to Cap'n Tesla for organizing it.
Anvil had a very solid 50K, and Timato really rocked it.
Heel was sore after about 1 hr, and hamstring not too happy by the end.

ahr:155 max:180 shoes: Brooks CP6 Green
Hot mid-afternoon run to Glen Haffy. Almost 30c.
Legs were a bit gassed from the start and I could really feel the heat, but great to be out on the trails in full spring foliage. Took it fairly easy, and walked some of the steep hills but still a solid effort. I was pretty done after.
Drank all 3 500ml soft-flasks that I had and ran dry about 20 min from home. 4 big mugs of drink after.

Dusted off the pedal mower and cut the fenced part of the yard. Dogs thought it was the most boring bike ride ever.

Running 2:00:00 20.66 km (5:48 / km)
shoes: Hoka Stinson ATR
Great run in the Dundas Valley with BGY, Bender, Trav, Trix and AD. Mostly steady pace, but a few fast bits.
I ran OK on flats and the Hokas really roll on the downs, but the 2 big boys and the dogs dropped me like a greased anvil on the big climbs up K2 and Farmer's hills.
Great coffee and a ride in the Futuremobile after, then lunch and beer at Chez BGY!

Was that a bit of speed I had? My go-fast shoes are a bit hard on the achilles, but I was able to actually boot it a bit with AD and we did extras.
Felt the heel a bit after.

Note
Found an odd little bony spur and some retrocalcineal (behind the heel) calcificafions that showed up on x-ray, exactly where the heel hurts on the medial side. Will get more thorough x-rays and ultrasound.

Event: Storm the Trent

Adventure Racing race 4:00:00 [3] 47.5 km (5:03 / km) +391m 4:51 / km
Storm Fail.
I've been sick with my stupid man-cold, but it's been gone for a couple of days so I decided to do Storm Elite.
Off the bat I didn't have any good running speed. Bit of a poor choice in the first section on foot, but at least I got to navigate alone clean and some bushwhacking shortcuts worked better than trail running.
On the bike I started well back, but passed 7-8 teams en route to the next run section. Ran even slower this time, but got all the CPs easily enough. The next run section I was feeling really gassed, and I could feel my lungs. I ended up walking almost the whole thing- should have stayed in bike shoes.
I didn't eat much, but was drinking Tailwind and taking salt caps. (3 total) My calves had started cramping a bit as I started this section so I had a Tums too.
Next bike section was a bit chaotic as I caught the short-course teams who were a bit wobbly on rocks, but somehow I didn't have much oomph for passing.
There was a medic after one mud-hole, and he said I looked like crap and asked to check me out. When he heard I was having a bit of trouble breathing he rubbed his hands in glee and took my BP twice before declaring he would like me to not continue but get a ride at the next road. Apparenlty my HR was high a d BP low, so I was dehydrated despite drinking 2L so far and taking salt pills. He said it's really hard to evac someone from the next section, and I didn't want to be that a-hole that ignores the medic then needs a complex evac so onto the truck-of-shame I went.
The nurse at HQ agreed that I still wasn't race-ready an hour later, (HR still high, BP a bit low- post-viral) but a *recreational* paddle was ok.
I suspect on a hot day almost anyone would have the same symtptoms, but I really was feeling a bit feeble post man-cold, or maybe it was the stomach issue coming on at the earlier stages.

Is there anything nicer than a cool spring morning run to work with 2 dogs?
Actually didn't hack on exertion. Maybe feeling 65% better.
I think I'll give STORM Elite solo a go, but may be more of a tour than a hammerfest.

2-dog run down to the Wheelie pond, and back via the Lookout and Thinker's Hill. Both of them had a great run.
BZdog on harness pre-soaked, and had a great swim. AD sounded like I was using boiling oil on him when I sprinkled him with the hose before the run. Not a water dog.

To work with AD. He rocketed along beside me on the singletrack very nicely.
On the way home he was spooked by by truck traffic, and tried to run around the bike on leash. I had to walk him to the trail, as he was shying away from the bike. Back off leash he was perfect, and we visited the pond and switchbacks.

Easy commtue with BZdog. We had a close encounter with a deer but he was fine- just hammered down the trail pulling the bike. He's feeling the warm temps a bit - had a swim after.
My cough is getting better.

Easy ride down the Charlevoix trails with both dogs. BZ dog kept up a solid pace and had a good swim in the wheelie pond, but AD wouldn't put a toe in.
Dogs trotted gently back, and BZ dog didn't even flinch when a turkey took off right beside us.
Coughing a bit, but able to ride at an easy pace.

In my lungs now. Bah- hardly had the energy to walk the dogs for a short stroll.
Went to the walk-in clinic. Was told it will be 90 min, but they will call my cell phone if I want to run errands. 90 min later- waiting room still overflowing. Waited another half hour- not even close, but folks who arrived later seem to be getting paperwork etc. Eventually pulled the plug after nearly 2.5 hrs, after blowing a nice morning.
