Training Log Archive: 'Bent

I got a window in the kid-sitting so went to the Don Valley and Earl Bales to run repeats of the ski hill and the steep ridge trail. Stinsons feel fine running downhill so far.

C • Kid-Sitting 17

Run around Palgrave West, then a second Charlevoix lap to test some pack configuration. Nice to have a fast runnable trail for a change.

Nice paddle around Island lake. Goose and I paddled the cedarstrip (with Goosepower I was basically ornamental) and Bash and LD took the kayaks.

Great to be out paddling again- I missed it.

Rib was finally OK, so I'm taking off the "injured" status.

C • Rib 5

Tied up with van issues in the AM, but borrowed the mechanic's truck.
Solid hike up the Caps trail, waited out a potential storm at the summit cafe, then ran the road down to the base, hiked back up half way and ran back down.

We caught a bit of the MTUnicycle XC race too.

Then we discovered that I left the dome light on (need to turn it on to start the truck) and almost nobody carries booster cables in summer (or want to boost a big truck with smelly runners).
Luckily the 20th group or so had cables. Van's fine now.

C • Van is fine for? 8

Tire-out-the-dog run around our cottage. He got 3 swims too.

Back at Tremblant, up the Grand Brule to the ski summit then across to the higher Pic Johansen, over the top and back up (mucky and rocky) then back down to the village. Not all that runnable for the most part.
See Bash's log for pics. Some very cool unicycles in town for the World champs, including Fat unis with disk brakes and handlebars.
