Orienteering race 1:06:00 [4] ahr:158 shoes: Icebugs red
I was trying to take this one a bit easy so I didn't overheat before tomorrow.
Things went quite well until control 11 where I did one of my famous 20 minute errors on a very short and easy leg. I hadn't seen the scale was 1:7500, and tried to pace count with a (drifted) bearing instead of taking the easy route on trail. Oh well, got more exercise than most!
Orienteering race (Sprint) 28:00 [4] shoes: Icebugs red
Hope this isn't a trend- big error on the first control. Fairly tough course. Did I mention I hate sprints? Again, kept the pace down a bit.
Estrogen ride with LeAnimal, Rocky and the Powerhouse LD. Talk about the dream team to kick my butt on my poor little Omega bike in muddy conditions. Fortunately they waited for me after the tricky bits.
Highlight was hitting a bump on the steep slippery uphill on the Haute route and doing a backwards endo, and then falling off again shortly after on the next steep uphill. The North trails went a lot better, and the company was great.
Can't wait for the big bike to return!!
Cycling (Commute) 45:00 [2]
Easy ride to work and back with Bulletdog.
Way home's on my repaired big bike! Now I can retire the Omega from singletrack.
I'd intended to ride the trainer after a very tiring day at work, but Bash didn't find it hard to convince me to come bike-shopping with her, or at least come down to the shop to talk to the mechanic about her broken frame. My bike's still not back yet- tomorrow PM's the latest ETA. I was really hoping to do some hill training on it before the next race :(
Commute to work + hill intervals, and home the long way around the red trail, with 4 swims for the Bulletdog. Heavy load today too.
Lilacs in full bloom, scarlet tanagers and rose-breasted grosbeaks singing- ahh, commuting is tough.
Nice paddle down the Humber with Goose and Ms LD. We had the hounds on board to increase the technical difficulty in the mild rapids by jumping from side to side, or occasionally overboard. A lot of fun and quite scenic. I can't believe we've never paddled this before!
