Orienteering 5:50:00
shoes: Icebugs red
GRR with Bash and Slowrunner.
Slowrunner subbed in for Hingo at the last minute, and can she pick a race! Cool, drizzly, with maximum slippery uneven rocks and logs and thigh-deep water crossings- perfect for someone who doesn't like running off trail! She was a real trooper, of course.
We had some big nav issues fairly early where we lost the Bruce trail in a blank map section, only to find the old marked Bruce trail and follow it quite a ways, and another biggie in the Lass-o. I have to admit that I was out front here, and we were down to 25th place or so half way through. Clean nav moved us up about 10 more places in the second half, even though the sense of urgency was gone.
I was glad my knee held out, and I could tow on the flat bits. Bash's nav was excellent (where the map wasn't blank) and I was able to take a fair number of pics (See Bash's log).
All in all a fun day out. Nice to see the Cameron Sisters dominating, and Slice and Bender kicking everyone's butt.
Note- Icebugs & sealskinz were absolutely perfect for this kind of day!

Lots of Vinyasas today- smooth transition between poses. More stretching, less balance.

Running (Commute +) 37:00 [3]

Trot through Duffy's lane entrance to the Hwy 50 entrance, to make sure my ski signs are down. Yup. Icebugs mandatory day. I was going to leave Bulletdog home, but she went ballistic when I got dressed for running.

Running (Commute +) 35:00 [3]
shoes: Ecco GTX + Screws
Idiot- should have used icebugs today. Bulletdog's got claws and 4WD, but I found spots a bit dicey, as it's all frozen up this AM.
Running (Commute +) 35:00 [3]
shoes: Ecco GTX + Screws
We did an extra road loop, then faced the ice and slush with ice grippers this time. Also some extra hills at the end on the bare fields that burned last year.

Cycling 1:30:00 [2]
Such a nice day I had to try riding the Omega 'bent on the rail trail. Not so good- long sections of soft snow and ice meant some hike-a-bike. Back into the closed roads of Albion I met Guitarman, and we rode around for a bit. I'll need the longer 'bent for snow I think.
