Run into work and home.

Getting back into the flow of things for the fall set of races. Upper body workout today. I think I'll take a few more weeks before I start up with the rowing machine again.

Hopefully the rain will hold off tonight and I can get out for the WCC club ride.

WCC Club Ride. Small numbers tonigith meant that our group was pretty small. After a while it was whittled down to just myself and another guy. We ended up heading out for another 30 min loop just working together. The nice thing was he was a stronger cyclist then me so I really had to work hard the whole time.

More relaxing ride back to Grand Bend. Stayed with Kristen this time and we barely got rained on.

MS Bike Tour, Grand Bend to London. Basically the whole ride today was into a head wind and during the later half a rain storm. Really worked hard to maintain our pace the whole way. Near the end we dropped a few people and then I fell off when I had to change a flat. Need new tires for the road bike as mine are getting worn and I'm getting flats because of this. Good ride followed by wine and tequila poppers in the afternoon.

Run into work and home.

This is a general note to anyone who checks my log from time to time. Audrey and I are planning on heading down to NY to do the CNYO Rogaine the August 7/8 weekend. If anyone else is interested in going and car pooling let myself or Audrey know.

Cheers.

Time for my run into work and home. Legs are still feeling the effects of Untamed. Very sore at the end of the day.

I probably won't write up a report on this race as it's not something I want to relieve in the end. I found this race very frustrating at times. If anyone was trying to follow along from home and found it hard to figure out what was going on outside the top 2 let's just say the racers were in the same boat and you can imagine how frustrating that was. At this point I wouldn't go back and do this race again, but time may change my mind. It felt like the race director was doing everything he could to hide controls in the woods on us. Things like you'd come to an intersection and then the control description was 20 m NE in the woods. Off you go to try and find a flag on a tree in think woods, we spent many, many controls swearing at the woods as we wandered around trying to find the correct tree.

As a team we raced really well together, James was a great guy to race with. Still not sure what place we ended up in, and at this point I probably don't care. Was very impressed with the race by ATP/Salomon, and congrats to them on a first place finish.
