Why Just Run Sunnybrook Park - Bent, Bash and I carpooled down to T.O. for this 90 min adventure run put on by TOC. Just like the last one, I was thoroughly confused at the format and how best to handle the strategy to getting the most points. So, instead of thinking it out, I just commited to trying to wipe the racecourse in the 90 minutes. I've hardly navigated this year so it's the practice that I'm into, not so much worrying about how well I do...or that's my cover up to being an idiot. Off I went during the muggy hot day and managed to achieve my little goal except for one CP. I had a few that I had trouble finding and took some shoddy routes to and from a couple but I was pleased with my speed. The watermelon at the finish line was so good as I wouldn't have been any wetter had I jumped in the Don River...although I'm not that dumb.

Smokin' hot...can't breathe...smoggy...out of shape...bike needs love...must bike home...

...and I made it finally.

Attempted to keep up with Leanimal as I cruised along on my 29er while she skimmed the roads with her road bike. We headed out in the heat to Lock 42 on the Trent Severn and back from O-Town HQ. I gave it everything I had during one long section on the return trip to test the knee. Not bad but the running tests from this past week caused way too much pain / discomfort - no LR&S for me this year. FB has a solid grip on 4th now...Baazing!
