Biking (Mix) 2:26:03 33.2 mi (13.6 mph) +221m
ahr:138 max:176 shoes: Jamis Dragon Sport 29er
This started as just a trip to check out the Argo Cascades, but once I got down and saw them (sweeet, by the way, a big improvement over the stagnant pool that preceeded them - also, fun looking, especially the last drop back into the river), I decided to do a little Ann Arbor exploring.
The very, very slow part around mile 13 was because a park I was in ended, and I saw a trail, so I followed it, but it became unbikable so I had to carry my bike up some very steep side hills. Quite a workout!
Then over to the Parker Mill for a snack break and back up to the house via dirt roads.

Walking 21:00 [1] 1.3 mi (16:09 / mi)

Tried to do Cherry Hill after the parent meeting. A bust. Dusk rolled in, and dear wife was having trouble seeing, and nearly face planted on a tree root.
They have done a wonderful job opening up the middle section with whatever they are cutting down all that vicious green with. It'll be awesome for sprint woods o if they keep at it!
1/2 mile @ 3.8 mph
2/3 mile @ 4.5 mph

Note
slept:8.0 (rest day)
Woo hoo! Night O permit approved. They do want us out by 8 pm on the nose, so I'm thinking with sunset at 5:15, that maybe a 5:45 - 7:30 format would work. Hopefully 105 minutes will satisfy cravings. Then 30 minutes to kick everyone out, and I can pick up flags in the morning, since I have the last meet of the season...which also means that with the equipment I have free reign over any winter activities....muah ah ah! (Oleg, Igor...ski o if you want! Or maybe a sno-gaine at Island Lake?)
I think the course will be clearable, since it won't be longer than what Voit did in 90 minutes flat for the summer, but maybe darkness will add 15 minutes of difficulty?

Canoeing 1:45:00 [1] 7.25 mi (14:29 / mi)
shoes: Pirate Canoe
Jeff bailed, and I was too lazy to take the canoe off the truck. Cooper was up for a paddle, so I jumped in the front and we bombed up Kent Lake to the bridge at the north end, then back to Island Lake. Gorgeous night for it! Some wind made for chop in the way out that was a lot of fun; the way back featured amazing hues in the water, trees, and sky as the sun started heading down.

Really turning it into a long run now.
1 mile paved @ ~3.8 mph
2 miles dirt @ ~5 mph
1 mile paved @ 3.5 mph
Estimated since I hit "stop" instead of "lap" after the one mile warmup. Whoops
