World Human Power Speed Champs this week.
So far Sam Whittingam's a bit disappointed- only 81.5 MPH- 131KPH or so, a touch off his world record. Still lots of speed runs to go.
Barb Butoais just set a world female record, (75.7MPH/ 121.8 kph) and I think she's the 3rd fastest human.
No training today- had to see the MD for a physical before tomorrow's pre-anaesthesia appt for next week's surgery. What a hassle to rush this all in (not that I'm complaining) as I hope they'll do it under local. Anybody know if you can get knee arthroscopy under local?
I did thave time to take T-dog for a 1km hike through the forest- her first one since her breathing emergency- we both love cool weather.
Biked down to Albion to volunteer at the Fall Five 5K race.
I rode the bike trails first to see if the runner's course was obvious, then did about 6 laps of the course, testing, pacing and sweeping.
I was the pace (recumbent) bike for the 2.5k kid's race and the 5K race, in my fluorescent yellow top and blinding flashing light. The 12 year old who won the first race was doing 22kph downhill! The 5K was won in 17:33 by a kid in the under-16 category- I had to work on the climbs to stay in front.
Goose Sr put in a very quick time!
