Training Log Archive: Nev-Monster

Maybe the last day of biking to work as it's going to be wet and nasty next week.

NRCan's former Dep Minister was just named to one of Canada's most important diplomatic posts today in San Fran. Very interesting....

Was going to Chelsea after work but stuck around town and went for a jaunt along the river. It's chilly out there.

Waiting for friends from Montreal to show up....

Biking too and from work. Actually was smart enough to bring my new front light to install.

Quick run after work along the river. I need at least one or two more pairs of trail shoes, might try Brooks and Inov8 this time round.

Biking to and from work and Carleton. Saw the the Russian Amb to Canada speak. He's a very smart diplomat.

Legs feeling better.

Post Manx ride home featured serious freezing rain.

I suppose the weather was nice enough that I technically could have biked to work, but my legs said no dice. I also had to start the day off with getting a crown removed at the dentist (who used a massive amount of freezing). That was followed by getting a flu shot in the afternoon, so I was toast at the end of work.

I guess I only really started training when I moved to Ottawa in August, so I'm pretty pleased with the race considering that really wasn't that long ago and my training is still very sporadic.

Event: Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Raid the Hammer
 

Raid the Hammer; don't know the exact time but it was longer than this.

Legs are toast; especially my feet (no dress shoes Monday).

Great racing with Tiny and Audrey. Great day in the woods.

First Place Coed. First time winning a category.
