Paddle with Bash from Arowhon up to Little Doe lake, then a couple of portages over to Joe lake, past our Wedding Rock and back.
Colours are beyond amazing- absolute 100% peak, and dead calm waters for perfect reflections.

Easy ride on the Mew lake rail trail with Bash. Colours are amazing!

Cold's full-on, so an easy run to work and back. I walked up the steep hills.

Warmup on the paddle trainer.

Workout #2.

I seem to be getting a cold, so I'll drive T-dog to work.

Another simple commute. I'd hoped for a longer ride but work was tricky and I got out late.

Easy commute with Bulletdog.

Kinetco 10 mi. Road race.

Goose and LD both suggested I try a longer warmup with 5 high intensity 1-minute intervals before running.

My first road race. I was hoping for 70 minutes, on this "very hilly" course.
I basically ran my HRM- if I wanted to catch someone, I'd only go if my HR was in the low 180s otherwise I let them go.

I kept it lower for the first bit than last week's 1/2 marathon, ate better the day before, did Goose's warm up and generally felt better. I still ended up 12th overall, but this time I won my age group, and was closer to the winning time. The Archer was 3rd on the same podium.

Nice to see Bash, Scooby, Thumbs-of-death and the flying Sergei coming or going.
