Just received a long email from the race director for the Cayuga Trails 50. In the middle of the email is this small note:

"For those of you following our occasional Facebook updates you're aware that course run-through's with different mapping programs (Garmin and NASA based numbers) have yielded an increase in the elevation profile of the course. My mapping software (National Geographic Topo has time and again shown an elevation gain of about 6,500 ft (with corresponding loss). The (most likely more accurate) Garmin/NASA figures are putting it closer to 10,000 feet."

Surprise.

C • Elevation Gain 5

So my calf is still bugging me so I decided to replace the planned long run today with a long ride. Nice afternoon to be out riding in the country, although the head wind I had half the time wasn't the best.

Ride out to Elmira and back before work. Tough head wind the whole way out and then some freezing rain pellets on the way home just to mix it up.

Harper must be getting ready to return to Ontario as the nice sunny weather from earlier this week was replaced with cold crap today.

C • Screw you 5

C • Need to get out with you fo... 12

Nice muddy run along the grand river to Bingeman's and back. Took all the best trails on the way out and ran the main trail on the way home.

I joined to colleges from work for a leg specific weight workout. Their workout consisted of a series of squats, lunges and dead lifts. I haven't done something like this in a while and definitely felt tough, but also good.

They finish of their weights with a 20 min run. Near the end my calf was tightening up again.

C • What's with the miles??? 2

A good hard session today.

Rode up to Elmira and back on a nice hot sticky morning.
