Running race 1:55:00 [5] 25.0 km (4:36 / km) +550m 4:09 / km
ahr:179 max:190 shoes: Brooks CP Silver
Sulphur Springs 25k.
My knee held out fine other than a bit touchy on the downhills. Flats and uphills went well, but 2 guys got me just before the line.
I saw the recovering Tarno just in front a fair bit and ended up 3 minutes behind him. I was hoping to break 2 hrs, so I'm happy.
Mr Pither came in second! I was 12th overall, 7th in my geezer category, which Almageddon won 9 minutes ahead of me.

Cycling (MTBO) 1:02:00 [2]
Caledon Navigators night. I had to use the Omega as the big bike's still in hospital, and with the map board on the bars either I can see the board in front of me or the trail, but never both. Took me a while to get the hang of the map and how fast things come up, and I planted the little front wheel a couple of times while trying to read the map. Still, eventually settled down and all went fine other than wasting too much time at the misplaced control #8. I tried to take my time and read the map well, not just go on local knowledge, and it went better than expected.
I still wish I had some way of having the map in my lap rather than on the bars in front of my face.
Good turn out! Goose, Scooby, VO2max, Bash, Hurtin, Rocky, Crash, LeAnimal et al.

Running tempo 1:10:00 [4]
Fast paced run down to the Bruce trail, over to Gore road and back, and the Charlevoix loop. I tried to keep the cadence up, the posture straight and the arms moving well fore-and-aft, not across the body or elbows out.
I wish I'd borrowed Bash's GPS, but it felt quick, maybe 45-48 min. 10K pace?
