Biking 25:00 [3] 10.0 km (24.0 kph)
Commute; I got a flat tire near Queen's Park on my way to work. Later that evening, after changing the tire, I got a second flat tire on the way home when I hit a massive pothole. Brutal. In the rain, I abandoned my commute and hopped on the subway for the rest of the trip.

Running 1:40:05 [1] 18.01 km (5:33 / km) +86m 5:26 / km
Long evening jaunt. When bopping through Cedervale, I encountered a large coyote. It seemed to circle me, and when I passed it, it started following me. Yelling at it didn't deter it, so I withdrew backwards while facing it. Once I reached the boundary of the park, the coyote stopped following me. It may have been guarding its young or been unwell in some way, but the coyote seemed formidable.

Biking 40:00 [3] 16.0 km (24.0 kph)
Commute. My butt is experiencing the fatigue of the first week biking of the season.
Cross Training (Squash) 1:00:00 [1]
Squash with Laleh. We were both a bit tired - me from climbing, her from unspecified stress in her life, so we cut it a little short. Still a good session.

OUSA Executive Committee phone call tonight. We talked a bit about some routine procedural business like elections and finances, and then had a cursory conversation about strategic planning - what OUSA can do, what OUSA should do, etc. Areas I'm thinking about are getting a clear picture on the state of the federation (finances, club status, where our events are, etc) to shape our planning and improving our communication with the community.

Climbing 30:00 [1]
Climbing at Basecamp Climbing with my lab. My PI and I were the only ones out of our party of 10 who were belay certified, so I spent much of the time belaying. Also, unfortunately, they were rearranging the bouldering wall for a competition tonight, so that was closed. I think everyone got to do at least five or six routes. Benjamin belayed me on a long overhang 5.10a and a slab 5.9, and I twice autobelayed a crimpy 5.10c, and three 5.7s. It was a good day.
10 PM
Climbing 30:00 [3]
Stopped by Basecamp on the way home, since I had used a day pay. Did four autobelay pitches, then checked out the new bouldering wall. I sent every yellow and orange pitch and a couple greens before closing time.

Commute, to from work. Bike is back! The pavement once again glides by beneath me as I fly on wings of aluminium.

Climbing 1:00:00 [1]
Climbing at Basecamp with Katie; Juliana, an alto in Hart House Chorus, joined us. She's only in Toronto for a few more weeks, but it was fun to climb with our broader social circle. I also bumped into Karina Isaev and Ben Grant from MBP. Basecamp reconfigured their bouldering wall this past week, so all my beloved old problems are gone. I sent all the yellow and orange routes and two of the greens. The others are to become projects.

Erg 33:00 [3] 8.0 km (4:08 / km)
After the dress rehearsal for the Hart House chorus concert this coming Sunday, I stopped by the Hart House gym for a quick session. I decided to add a little variety, so I made up a little circuit of erg, strength, and track.
The original plan was 2x {4k erg, 1 strength set, 1 km run}, but I dropped the second strength set. First 4k was in 16:03, second in 17:00.

PSA that pennies are worse than useless:
Fortunately, I now live in a civilized country that doesn't use pennies.

Let the record show that BigWillyStyle and I have a bet for the month of April:
Our bet is who can run, elliptical, erg, and foot-O more distance between April 1-30 inclusive. Loser buys winner a burrito equivalent + guac.
Let the record also show that I have never lost a bet to Will, which has netted two occasions of Will wearing a CSU jersey at a national competition and a free burrito for me.

Erg 33:45 8.0 km (4:13 / km)
After our penultimate Hart House chorus rehearsal of the season, seeing as I was already at Hart House, I stopped by the gym. I rowed 8 km - 5x (500m easy, 500m hard), and then 3 km easy. My pace for the easy bouts was 2:10-2:15/500, and for the hard was 1:45-1:50.
Strength training 5:00 [3]
25x box jumps, 25x tuckups, 25x oblique crunches. I wanted to do more, but these are basically the same as erging, and the muscles were tired.
