The Weekend
Hooked up with Grant and Lisa on Saturday and did a 21.1 km / 3.5 hour loop through Beaver Valley. I was only planning on 2 to 3 hours and only had 500 ml of water. Grant talked me into going a wee bit longer then expected offering me water so I went for it. As it turns out we bumped into Steve F half way and he dropped his phone and Grant found it. They were out in front of us so Grant took off chasing them down and I didn't see him until the last K or so. Around 3h15m I was have a ton of tightness across my shoulders and had to stop , sit and borrow some water from Lisa. I was OK after a small break ...was actually really surprised how quickly a little bit of fluids worked. After the run I had some numbness in my finger tips a sign of low potassium. Super enjoyed the run, was a wee bit embarrassed that I ran into trouble but I really didn't prepare to go that long.
One thing for sure I really liked the loop ..perfect distance and time for a trail LSD.
