Terry Fox run with Bazingadog.
I haven't done any speed work since before France, and Bazingadog has never run in a race with a lot of people and dogs.
He was completely gaga at the start, and took off out the gate at a full gallop chasing the cyclists. Our first km was a 3:36, with a 2:53 top pace. We led all the runners for the first 3K or so, when it was time for a bathroom stop for him. This was followed by a nice swim at the half-way point, when Goose caught up with us. 2 fast lads passed us there, and we never caught them.
On the way back he was more interested in stopping for pee-breaks, and pulling back to see the other approaching runners and dogs on the out-and-back course. I think he had 5 bathroom breaks in all.
By the end of it I was pulling him along, and he finished 3rd with Goose and me with his tongue almost dragging on the ground, but he perked up pretty well after a cooldown, a few cups of water and 4 breakfast sausages.
