C • that's 2

Easy spin with Bobby. Legs felt okay but little climbing.

"You're doing great, Shannon!" My Team, 2016

C • Awesome job!! 1

Wilderness Traverse with Salomon. What a pleasure to race with JYD, goose and phatty. I especially appreciate that they don't judge my terrible potty mouth both on and off the race course.

If it was easy everyone would do it. Ain't that the truth and no wonder adventure racing is such an arcane sport.

Beautiful paddle in the sunshine and so lucky to be in the boat with goose. He kindly reminded me to "sit tall and open my diaphragm." And never once did he threaten to throw me out of the boat and leave me with the giant sturgeons!

Zippy bike to trek on some fast and punchy trails. Definitely my highlight of the race.

Trek was stunning and I love love loved the coasteering section. I could hope along Gbay for days without ever getting bored of the beautiful rock and jack pines.

So pumped for the Warriors. How can you not be happy to see a bunch of twenty somethings winning Bob the Beaver in their second attempt?! Nice.

Thanks to my fantastic teammates for a night in the woods. Thanks to all the volunteers for making the event happen. Once again, Bobby nails it.

C • well actually 17

Event: Wilderness Traverse
 

To the marina and back with a few pick ups.

Made this a priority this am.

I haven't seen a mid week 4:30 work out since September 6… Quick rip before GT run club.

Back feels excellent.

Trout Hollow Trail w/ Bob.

Return from Trail run via Grey road 12, 7th Sideroad, Grey Road 7 and ended up on 26 because 33 didn't connect to 7 as we thought?

2 years ago Bob could never convince me to do a 2 week taper. Legs are fresh and Bob was right...

Easy peasy refresh.

C • Never, ever 10

Punchy loop thru Kolapore with Bob on route to Burly.

Rail trail to meaford, 3rd line and home via Euphrasia townline. Cruisy pace.

Back in the wagon.

Easy spin with Bob to Clendenam trails and home.

Pinched nerve - yowza!

Added another 60 minutes of foam rolling and stretching followed by an easy spin.

C • laundry injury? 3

Meaford Thornbury return. Lovely pace and beautiful outside!

BT via 16 Sideroad to home. Lovely stretch.

MTB: Clarksburg, 7th line, 6th to 18 and home via 21 & Clarksburg with a quick rip thru Loree. God bless the weekend.

It was a nice change to smell my freshly cut hair rather than my gross bike shirt.
