TOC Championships at Wasaga Beach Nordic Centre. Score-O limited to trails only. First in 50 + male category but the fast people did not show. Tried to run all the time on the trails in preparation for the COC's in Saskatoon. Had good pace but the map accuracy was questionable in a few areas and it cost me time. Otherwise could have got all the controls. Ended up with 62/64 points. Had 3 minutes to get home and time it correctly.

Excellent BBQ after and tribute to Boon Tan!!

MTC Swim with Coach Stephanie. 10 x 50m back/free warm up. 400 m kick with fins. 3 x 300 m pull on 6:30, 6 x 100 m swim on 2:20, 4 x 150 m swim on 3:30, 4 x 50 m decreasing, 6 x 100 m pull, 6 x 25 m no breathe, 150 m cooldown.

Back still tight but was doing 5:45 on 300 m pulls. Pulls were going well breathing every 5 but had trouble when switched to swimmimg. 150 m were on cruise pace about 3:00. Need to translate pull style to regular swimming.

Slight back strain and knee twist after hockey. The other team hit well and we lost. Ball was skidding on the infield making fielding a problem.

MTC Swimmming Resumes withCoach Ken. 800 m pull breathe to one side warm up, 600 m kick, side, back and front with fins, 400 m free breathe 3, 5, 7 & 9 per 50 m. 8 x 25 m 1 breath. 1 km locomotive :20 rest per segment, 10 x 100 m free on 2;30 pace.

Felt okay after straining right middle back muscle yesterday. Speed was a bit off at :53 best for 50 m and 1:55 best for 100 m.

Ice was bad after goalie school again and had a lethargic game. Lost

HBC Canada Day Run in support of Canadian Athletes. Started slow at A/R lope, 5:40 1st km. Warmed up for about 2.5 km, ran an easy pace until 7 km mark and then started to increase pace. After 8 km mark started to lengthen stride and turn on anaerobic jets. Finished last km in under 5 minutes.

Likely one of my slower 10 k every but good training for the COC's in 4 weeks!!
