Event: Warrior Dash ontario
8 AM
Running - Trail 25:00 [3] 4.5 km (5:33 / km)
shoes: X-Talon 212
Warrior Dash. Lap 1.
Competitive wave. When Ryan Atkins is at the start line, you know your only hope is 2nd.
Enjoyed watching the horde try to keep with Ryan in the first 1km, then slowly picking them off as they crashed and burned.
Ended 5th which is a little disappointing compared to winning 2 years ago, 2nd would have been likely if the course actually was 3.5 miles as advertised (4th and 3rd were in sight), but you don't expect accuracy at an OCR. Actually felt pretty strong on all the hills.

Running - Trail 1:10:00 [1] 4.5 km (15:33 / km)
shoes: X-Talon 212
Not as fast 2nd lap with a few newbies.
Fun to see the race from this perspective, but damn, some people should consider attempt to run this distance before entering an event like this.
It's great that OCR is getting people to do physical activity when they normally wouldn't, but it's a real worry when you see people gasping for breath/needing to break after 1km before the hills have even started.

Running - Trail 39:41 [4] 6.82 km (5:49 / km) +70m 5:32 / km
shoes: X-Talon 190s
TNT: 8xRavine Rd repeats. Didn't go quite the full 8 due to being distracted by Anne, Luka and a DOTA2 cosplay photo session going on - but pretty much the whole pizza got eaten tonight.
Feeling really happy with continual TNT improvement from week to week. Still a little too late to put in a good showing at Whistler, but at least it won't be disgraceful.

Put the flags out in the course order to get a bit of practice. Tried to run fast but legs declined to respond, so slow it was.
Beaut evening. Happy to see the Xers working hard for once.

TNT. 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 west side loops.
Felt like a lot better session from previous weeks. Achilles needs work before and after, but nothing major - just gotta give it the attention it deserves.
