Back Roads and Tractor Trails

10.3K logged on the back roads and tractor trails of West Grey. Got out a little after 7am which is rather exceptional for me. It was a couple of degrees below freezing and just a slight breeze here and there. It was OK but I would have preferred it 10 degrees warmer! It was good to get it done early and it was especially good to take it outside and run some hills!

ATB - Sunday March 26

Did my 4th " Around the Bay" 30K road race yesterday. I wasn't racing it just out to run with a couple of friends and have some fun along the way. Ran with Patrick and Chris , this was Chris's longets ever run and he had an ambitious 3 hour goal. Patrick like myself was just in it for a nice LSD. I joined some of my ultra peeps doing the " Easterbrook Challange. which was a loaded foot long and a pop followed by 3 truffles a K or two later. Hung in there with Chris and Patrick through the 14K mark. It was super windy and a bit on the cold side not being much above freezing. Patrick took a washroom break at 14K so I licked it into high gear logging some sub 5:30 Ks banking a bit of time for the hot dog stop. I thought the food was at the 23 K make so at around 22K I geared it back to a 6:30 pace so I would be better prepared to stop. As it turns out the Hot Dog stand was at the 25K mark. It seemed to tale for ever to eat the dog and I dropped from the 2:55 bunny to the 3:15 bunny! I knew I would have to boot it to catch my buddies but it took me a K to get back up to pace after eating then at around the 28K mark I downed 3 truffles!!!! They were a bit hard to get down but I managed to pick up the pace again an caught up with Chris and brought him into Cops!

Shot a to of video and will put it together soon and post it too the blog!
