Training Log Archive: Hammer

Thinking about what US spring races to attend. Flying Pig is always fun but US relay champs might be good despite the long drive. What is the best DontGetLost 3 point team using the new US Relay Champs rules?

If two elite men were allowed to race together it would probably be two of Serghei Logvin, Adventure Girl! and one of the following: Gustaf Granath, Bob Miller, or Patrick Saile. But since there is the strange rule of limiting one elite man per team it means the top team might be the old farts of theGriz, Sudden and Hammer. :/

With AG! not feeling great she decided to sit today out. I wasn't feeling great either but didn't want to tell her that. I think we ate too much pumpkin cheesecake last night (and break sticks) at Olive Garden. With that I was less enthusiastic to race so didn't do a warm-up (ie., ran out of time) which proved to be a mistake because it took a long time to get the legs loosened up and with so much trail running today that was not wise. Lazy map reading to #1 then picked up the pace for a few but felt sluggish after that. Since I wasn't running as fast I decided to map read a lot more details today and while slower I made no mistakes after #1 though perhaps some routes weren't optimal. Great to be racing again after so much Nationals organization. Looking forward to San Fran, then Vancouver sprint camp and perhaps the AZ camp too.

Enjoyed the weekend but not the border crossings. On the way to US we got stuck in a horde of Leafs fans going to the Sabres game on Friday night (50 minute crossing). On the way back we got stuck in a horde of Canadian Buffalo Bills fans (75 minute crossing).

Got a new Garmin watch. time to retire the 401. Perhaps I'll give it to an ARX kid.

Just saw the splits for the weekend. Both days it shows me making an error in the finish chute. :/

Easy warmup trying to loosen up hips after long time in car yesterday

French Creek - Day 1 Red - Splits

easy #spin with #turbo to loosen up legs for DOVA race.

5 weeks ago we hosted the Nationals Sprint. I noticed at the RtH that Mick still had a banged up forehead so this pic is for Mick. This is the wall he ran into #ouch (oh and the green hipster bike in the background is my new ride).

Well the Wadd Squad got 3km from home en route to DVOA land and then a blown tire in the 403. Can't go to US with a spare tire (though it feels I'm running with one these days) but we had planned to put winter tires on next week anyway so changing tires it is. This 4 hour delay means its Gonna be a long night. :-(

This app could have been handy for the sprint Nationals last month.
