Running race 46:00 [5] 10.0 km (4:36 / km)
ahr:181 max:191 shoes: Brooks CP Green
Dirty Girls race. Most people do this as a solo ultra run of 6, 12 or 24hrs, but I was on a 12hr relay team with Bash, Hingo and Tiny.
This was the opening lap. Only a few of us were on relays, so I was alone in front within 3 minutes, and just ran my HRM. When I came in to hand off to Hingo, he was still zipped into our bug tent. I think they weren't expecting me 5 minutes ahead of the second runner, but he made the switch OK.

Dirty Girls lap 2.
Took it a bit easier this time, and paced the big hill better. Hot weather and I was a bit thirsty.

Third lap. The other relay team was within minutes of us. I drank a lot more after lap 2 and ate a bit, but as a result my stomach wasn't the best for this lap. Still, we made time on the competition's fast guy.

4th lap. I went before Bash as we were almost out of time and this would let us get in more of the final lap than if she went first.
Stomach was fine, and air was cooler. This lap felt the easiest of all.
Bash did the next lap, and scorched the course to *just* reach the 7.5 mark at the cut-off despite a nosedive, assuring our win (out of 2 teams) with 127.5km.
Char V did 90km and barely missed first female overall.
A good event, and tons of good draw prizes. Good value for the $ too.

Easy spin on the Omega 'bent in the North part of Albion. More to test out the concept than for any training.
The Witch of Albion trail went fine, some of the twistier bits not so much.
Not too bad on some of the Northeast trails which I rode very gently, but definitely worse than the longer 'bent.

Strength (Home Gym) 1:00:00 [2]
Workout #1. I tried some close grip chinups too, which I haven't done for a long time. Only managed 8 or so with no extra weight, and probably couldn't do many more. Geez, I used to do 10-12 of these with 20kg on my ankles and back.

Albion Hills with Bash and Rocky. Nice day and a good pace. Rocky's quick!
I managed to lay the 'bent down on a sandy, rutty downhill. (Just North of mighty Lake Albion). Rocky stopped in time, but Bash went Endo and looked like the Abominable Sand Woman.
As always, never enough time to ride all we wanted.

Note
Here are some pics of the new Omega 'bent I'm hoping may work for offroad use.

No night run home for me in deference to Bash's Mountain Lion rules.

A longer, hillier run to work and back to avoid poison ivy and Mountain Lions.

Nice rail trail ride to Elora and back with Bash. We had lunch with 3Pin and Fi, and managed to trundle our bloated selves back to Forks of the Credit.
I used the new Omega bike. It managed OK at Forks, but not great on loose round large gravel. Fast on the rail trail, but I'm not sure I'll be using it for AR.
