Biking 38:05 7.51 mi (11.8 mph) +57m

I really wanted this to be a supplement to a 2.5 hr morning session, but the parent meeting host was 30 minutes late! (I was invoking the "15 minutes, no prof, no class" rule as he pulled in, grrr), then 20 minutes to get set up, then an excruciating and mostly unproductive 90 minutes of meeting.
Anyways, I'm certainly out of form; I've done this much faster before. Thankfully the student was tolerant.

Bright young man, very studious, he'll get the hang of it. Cool up on the open ridges! I found one of the night o reflectors, woo woo.
Highlight was jumping off a 3" ice shelf as it broke and the marsh threatened to soak my feet.
We encountered a night o participant map hiking with his wife and FULL large packs. They are training for the Wonderland Trail around Mt Rainier. The husband recognized the night o maps we were carrying, which made for a natural conversation starter, and an easy time going backwards to the points they hit.

Accidentally dropped a glove, had to double back.
Felt like coasting with the former headwind now a tailwind.

What an interconnected world. A British company spills Canadian oil into an American Great Lake.

Took it easy over to band practice so as to not arrive as a sweaty mess. I was spotted by one of the guitar players en route.
Despite having "trail" right in the name, Pontiac Trail is a terrible place to ride a bike.
~40 deg and raining at the start, so I finally tested my PreCip jacket and pants for cycling and they worked great. I ended up overdressed with my layers.

I took a different route back home. Google said this was longer. It turns out to be shorter, but was waaay sloppy!
Might be time for a new battery for the heart rate strap as I have doubts that I was pegging it, even while overheating a little on a climb. Also, there was similarly too much Z5 on the ride out for the lazy pace.

Could be a good weekend - bike hopefully during daughter's practice, and then I'm thinking of biking to a nav lesson at ILRA (may as well burn up some night o maps). 1:30 at Spring Mill if anyone's bored and wishes to join.
I'm curious if ILRA will make for a good starting point, since it has the unique feature of being able to see features, compared to our usually heavy forests

3 mph warmup for ~.25, then 4 mph for the balance, with (4) * 10% grade for .25 miles, with 10 lb pack
Quads are slowly feeling less fried. Uphill is fine - stepping off or down lights 'em up up up they're on fiiiiiire.

Super lazy spin, just to get some movement in the legs. They are pretty stiff after being idle for any amount of time. My quads are fried. I need to do more stairs and squats.
No blisters! Eveningred's Desitin trick for the win.

Raccoongaine 2014. I knew Eaton would make my category rough, so I tried to be clean and as quick as I could and hope for the best. I didn't have the most point dense route; in hindsight I think west was better. Only three bobbles though, and very minor, which was awesome. (Started up wrong much larger reentrant to 75, but saw boulder and corrected, too much south exiting 72 west, and didn't see high point for 70, ended up south and backtracked up a bit. Somewhat subtle there.)
I had a fun section battling with a woman named Olga. She was jogging on the trails; I was walking. Since I couldn't keep up on the trail, I tried some shortcuts, some with wicked climb, and they always paid off, so I need to get in good hill shape and bee line more.
Finish was awfully tight - by my estimates I think I had about ten seconds to spare, @ 191 bpm there's not much left!
3rd to someone I don't know by 10 points in Men 20-39, which means I needed an extra twenty pointer along the way - not sure how to pick that up!
Fourth overall, pretty happy about that.
