On support crew for the Terranauts at ApEx May 20-24.
It turns out that the organizer is a TA (Transition Area) Nazi- Nobody is allowed to leave the parking-lot-sized transition area for any reason short of hospitalization once we've checked in, and we were to drive from TA to TA as directly as possible. Basically I was in TA jail for stretches up to 24 hours- pretty tough for a hyperactive guy. This one time I got my crew-mates to drop me off on the highway for a run while they got gas and groceries, and they picked me up when they caught me. Wildlife for Bash- TA 3 was circled by a Bald Eagle.

Short on time today so I had to go for quality. Hard run w/o dogs through the Charlevoix route to the Lookout Hill.

Since I have some off-days coming up, I did intervals on the Lookout Hill. The first one felt easy, the next 4 not so much.
Wildlife for Bash- Flock of 9 turkeys, a chorus of Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, and a Golden Winged Warbler.

Easy run to work at T-dog's pace.

Commute to work and ride home around the SS and red trail to the killer hill for intervals with Bulletdog.
I decided not to include speed-pumping Bash's packraft later that evening to test it for her before ApEx.:)

Hill intervals- 2.5 minutes all-out climbing on the bike up the big hill from the pond, then back down. 10 sets in all. These intevals hurt so much that I was going to call it a 5, but my heart rate only went to 179.

Supposed to be an easy day today. Bulletdog's not tired from yesterday. What does it take?

Easy ride home- rest day for legs.

Workout # 1, and spent the time between sets vacuum bagging e-load for the Terranauts.

Run with Hingo on the Humber Trail.
Wildlife for Bash- A coyote that Bulletdog sprinted after.

Faster part of run with Hingodude. He's quick!

Cool-down lap at home with T-dog.
