Running around the Hydro Cut with Mick and Blair. Nick joined us for the first bit with basically no sleep and cut it off once he started to see snakes on the trail.

Running hills 35:00 [3]
After my dismal performance at Creemore I've realized that my hill running needs improvement for Oil Creek this year. After reading up on what I could do to improve it I'm also realizing that some of my workout will probably need to be done on a treadmill.
5 x 1km hill repeats at an 8% incline, 6 mph

Still pretty dark out there when I got up and raining on and off. I was too lazy to bother digging my lights out so opted for a run rather then a bike ride.

Running intervals 24:00 [5]
6 x 4 min hard with 2 min recovery.
It's hard to judge distance on this since it's a time based workout, but on the first two I was definitely going at least 100-200 m further than I did in the past. Guess my running is actually improving.

Bit of a fail on this ride. Tried to explore this morning and find a new route. Got a flat around 20 km. Changed it and then realized I'd pinched the new tube putting it on. I was down to just a cyclocross tube. Seemed to work and at that point I took a direct route home. Was out for 1h30, but definitely didn't ride for that long.

Event: Creemore Vertical Challenge
10 AM
Running race 5:31:00 [3]
Creemore Vertical Challenge
Well I'll chaulk this one up to a learning experience. Started out fine, but at about 15 k I was already feeling very tired and I still had a ways to go. The next 5 k felt like I'd just run 10 and at that point I knew this wasn't going to be a good race for me. As I came back around the start/finish I considered dropping, but as I wrestled with this in my head I told myself this was a training race so what better training then to keep going. The next 25 k was a very slow shuffle taking me 30 min longer than the first 25 k.
Positives from this race:
- I was able to control any stomach GI issues with my choice of food and also by being constant with water intake.
- Even though I really did not want to run I was able to will myself to keep this up and to even get into a bit of a rythm albeit a very slow one.
Negatives:
- I was slow, very very slow.

Easy jog in the park to take down the ribbons from last night. Logged as a 2 since I had to keep stopping to pull down the flagging tape.

Orienteering 45:00 [3]
Hanging flags for tonights training.
We had a lot of new people out tonight which worried me a bit with the training I had set, but turned out that it was perfect for them since they were doing it at a walking pace.

Note
On Thursday night I had sharp pain in the 3rd and 4th toes on my right foot. Even on Friday it was still painful. By Saturday it had gone down a bit with some Vitamin I and ice, but still sore. Decided to give it a few days off of running with the 50K on Saturday. Will see how it feels on Tuesday.
