Training Log Archive: the kempster

Explored a bunch of the trails in Hilton Falls not really knowing where we were going most of the time. Found a whole network of single track trails which i think were actually on the map that we had but they were really difficult!! Lots and lots of boulders so I had to walk my bike for a lot of it, although I may have been able to do moe if I had been 'in the zone'. :P Nearly got lost, but not quite, on the way back, but ended up just doing a few loops on a gravel trail which eventually got us out to the road where we were parked. I must admit though, I was getting a little bit worried after awhile, but Robbie and my dad got us out alright. Beautful day for November! Hopefully will be just as nice for tomorrow!

just biked around while pulling molly along on her rollerblades.

Double whammy...sore heel and a nasty cold!

This sucks!

Had a much better race today which was a relief! My heel was sore at the beginning, but I just kinda forgot about it since I had many other things to think about! had a few bobbles on some of the controls; 6 I just read the map in reverse and was on the wrong side of the ridge looking for the control. Started running back towards 5 and ran right into the control. I just love it when that happens! :P Just tried to ignore the vegetation since trying to navigate by it didn't seem to help yesterday. The white woods were a lot more runnable today, so that did affect my route choice sometimes, but I never really went out of my way to run through it. On the way to 8, I had no idea where I had come in off the road, and was kinda worried that I was in the wrong re-entrant, but low and behold, by getting down on my stomach and peering through the undergrowth, I was able to just barely see the one lonely cairn down in the re-entrant that confirmed that I was indeed in the right one! Made a parallel ditch error on 13 even though I was really careful to check them off as I went past, but then after that everything went pretty smoothly all the way back to the finish.
