Holy crap its my absolute last training in Edmonton. 3:00 at 3k pace w/ 2 minutes rest, reducing by 30 seconds each time until we did 4 x 30 seconds. I felt like, after the 1:30 that my hamstring was about to full-on rupture, so that seemed like a pertinent time to scale it bad just a tad. Yeah, just a tad.

Now, which cutesy Disney song to play that symbolizes my journey off to the new world? Tough choice, there's just so many ones to choose. Let's go on the nose.

Naturally, a day later I had to go pull all those flags down again. That's... about it. Except I really think that city trucks, when they're doing construction in the river valley, shouldn't be driving 40km/h straight up the trail. Seriously, I shouldn't have worried about getting smeared by a car on a gravel trail.

Strange, I don't seem to have the time these last few days to blather on about training.

Went out and hung up ribbons for a reenactment of my Wednesday night event from last year because I couldn't bear the thought of another "pick your own" night. Turns out Laurier is just way, way to thick in summer.

As Nev and I had discussed, though, I think that the river valley still could put on a solid sprint and maybe a middle on certain maps, at least for Alberta Championships standards. That would be a reasonable venture.

But only in early spring or late fall. August... not so much.

A bit of a wobbly run with Nevin the day after the half. After I warmed up it felt better, and significantly, significantly, better than last time.
