Training Log Archive: Timato

Spent the night in St. Catherines for my brother in law's wedding. Kristen had to attend a shower today so I was left to try to figure out what to do. Decided to just bike home to KW. Ride was ok except for the head wind basically the whole way home.

C • Head Wind 4

Had to run into work as the car is in the shop.

C • Driving to work? 3

Evening ride with Noshnoj in the Hydro Cut. Started to get dark on us so we had to skip two loops and head home. We kept a good pace the whole way throughout.

Hill Pyramids. 1 - 2 - 3, 2 min rest in between. Each loop takes about 3:45 and involves climbing 2 hills and coming back down.

Warm up and cool down.

Run into work and home.

WCC Club Ride. Got dropped after 40 minutes, just couldn't sustain the pace anymore. Need to get out riding a lot more before the FAR champs in the fall.

Light run along the Grand River trail.

Run into work and home.

C • A 13 minute run to work?!? ... 4

Event: CNYO's 19th Annual Rogaine
 

CNYO Rogaine with Audrey. Was pretty excited going into this as this was my first rogaine and I really had no idea what to expect. Overall the race went really well considering this was our first time at such a beast. We seemed to spend about the first 15 hours bushwacking on the west side of the map, around midnight both of us were getting a little bored with the whole thing. Basically trekking in the woods, picking off controls without seeing anyone else. Around 3 am we came out to the second water stop and finally we had a mix of trails and woods for the rest of the race. I had to start planning out short cuts because there was no way we could do the whole map and finish in time. There's probably a few route choices I could have made better since we ended up finishing with an hour to spare and gotten ourselves a few more points. Also if we hadn't spent an extra 30 min running on the road after I missed an intersection we'd have had more time to get some extra points.

Ended up 2nd overall and 1st co-ed. The top three teams were all really close together.

C • Nice work dude! 2

Ran into work and home.

1-2-3-3-2-1, 1-2-2-1, 1-1

Rest of the time for the run, includes warm-up, cool down and time inbetween intervals.

Run into work.

A nice relaxing mid day ride with Kristen at the Hydro Cut.

Went out and ran the Hydro Cut trails. Legs were feeling sore afterwards from all the twisty ups and downs.

2 Sprint courses setup by Nick for the Stars championships. Nice map and a lot of fun running around the park.
