Cycling long (MTB) 5:10:00 [4]
Got out for a good long ride today at the end of a very relaxing week. Took the mountain bike because I wanted to ride as much gravel road as I could. Turned into a really good adventure. Found a rail trail (Kissing Bridge Trailway) so road that for a while, but then it became pretty overgrown, so turned onto the gravel roads again. Also came across a road marked "use at own risk" so I decided to give it a try. Alas it was way to muddy to ride on and when the mud started to stick to the tires so they wouldn't turn anymore I turned around and kept going on the gravel roads. Good ride overall. Also learned a few things about the area.
1. On a Sunday don't assume you can stop to fill up your bottles at a convenience store, pulled into Linwood and both stores were closed. Made for a long trek home with 1 bottle of water left.
2. Once I got past St. Jacobs I'm pretty sure I saw more horse and buggies then I did cars on the side roads. Even saw the equivalent of the mini-van buggy which gave me a good chuckle.

Orienteering race 1:40:00 [3]
Interesting concept by TOC for a score O. I just tried to keep the pace steady as I knew I was a bit tired from the day before. Was able to clear both courses, the nav really felt on today.
Other (Ascending) 20:00 [1]
Afterwards spent some time at Rattlesnake with Tom and some of his friends and learned how to ascend. Pretty tough on the arms, but I think I was getting the hang of it.

Adventure Racing race 4:41:00 [4]
ESAR with Little Dick and Tom. Overall we had a really good race. Kept a high pace the whole time. Treking from 6 to 7 probably was slower then other teams, but I'm not sure there was much we could have done about this as we followed our baring. I think there were just some pockets are really knarly woods in there and we hit most of them. I was glad to see I could keep up with Tom on all the bike legs and while my running slowed on the last section I was still running with a little help from Little Dick.
Great fun to go up with Little Dick and the Muffin and the hospitality they showed me Friday night/Saturday morning was really nice.

Out with some co-workers at the hydro cut. Also includes the time to ride out to the trails and home. Got home just as Kristen was finishing making the sushi rolls for dinner. Great timing or what?

Out with the WCC again for the Tuesday night ride. My legs were killing me from this morning (hamstrings particularly) so I was struggling through this. I was holding my own for a while right up until one group member said "Let's really push it to the next sign...". Which is when I was dropped. Tried to get back on for a bit, or at least stay in sight of the group since I didn't know how to get home.
Cycling 30:00 [3]
This covers the rest of the ride as I slowed down after I lost the group. Ended up getting lost on the way back into Waterloo, but figured it out eventually. Obviously, I was the last person back to the parking lot. Still a good night out riding.

Finally got out with the Waterloo Cycling Club for the Tuesday night ride. This was my first time riding in an echelon and it was definitely a bit nerve racking for a while. I got in with a group of about 10 guys and it was a good pace the whole way. The group really rode well together which was nice. Glad I finally got out.
