Hiked the Bruce Trail with Katie. We started at the Kelso Biking Area (L9T 7L3), walked to the overlook near Kelso Lake, then sauntered down the Bruce Trail to Crawford Lake. Total time maybe 2:30.

Squad expedition to Hart House for the first time in a while. We had full attendance - LPod, Conny, and Smirnov. I warmed up on a bike for 15 minutes because it's convention. I then bopped over to the erg; I was planning on doing 5-10 km, but Smirnov and Connie wanted to get straight to core, so I sprinted to finish 1.5 km.

Our usual room was taken by what I think was a zumba class, so we set about using the track level. There are a number of stations, and there is a challenge with intro, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum levels of achievement. I set about trying the silver circuit with some bonus exercises; it turned out to be brutal and out of reach.

Silver circuit: 3x [1.1 km run, 12 chin ups, 20 pushups, 10 stair runs, 20 tuck ups, 25 box jumps, 12 dips, 16 squat thrusts] in 32 minutes (!!)

What I did: 2x [1.1 km run, 8 pullups, 1 min plank, 20 tuckups, 20 pushups, 2x15 lunges, 20 kayakers, 25 oblique crunches, 25 box jumps, 10 stair runs, 12 dips]. It was arduous, especially the dips. It took 53 minutes.

I cooled down with 1 km jog.
