Event: Bon Echo SAC Race
 

SAC Bon Echo with Bash and The Minister.
Feeling about 85% better. Even though we weren't "racing" I confess I paddled pretty darn hard so Bash could take it easy- but she didn't, of course. Passed a lot of teams on the water.
Took the boat for the long portage myself, but I couldn't run much with it. Bash could barely walk on the portage, so she did the sensible thing and dropped out at the T/A. The Minister and I were disappointed but glad Bash would get warm and dry, and went on. I felt confident about the nav, even spiked CP6 according to UTM, and also found the misplaced manned "CP6" before the cut-off. There was quite a lot of controversy about that one. Promised Bash we wouldn't do the advanced, but we had a good trek and bike home with the Monex Terranauts. Probably finished in top 1/3- 1/4 or so (but unranked), but who knows with this race. If we had Bash we would have tried the advanced trek, but I'm glad she didn't wreck herself this soon before APX.

Vitamin X worked- I'm feeling 70% better! Trails are reasonably dry for biking too.

Wildlife report- Bulletdog took off after 4 adult deer, but remakably she stopped on a dime when I yelled.

Ride home with bulletdog.

I really need to try the bike before the race, so I wobbled along to work at an easy pace. Actually didn't hack too much- may finally be getting better.

Easy workout with some stretching and core.

Feeling even worse today (Day 8). Couldn't jog at all, barely level 1. That's it, time for Vitamin X (Amoxil)

Did a jog-walk to work, about all my lungs will allow right now.

Another slow jog-walk. Legs feel fine, but lungs feeling worse.

Nav practice with Hingo. Still can't run, but at least I can hike without too man y coughing fits. Starting to get better, just in time to taper for Bon Echo.
Also did some core and balance, but won't count it.
