Started riding the mountain bike again, been doing 3 rides per week off road plus bike commuting feeling somewhat fit pedaling wise. No that I seem to have little time to “train” I use my time when I have it to train with a key on having fun. So that means a run is a trail run, rock climbing, mountain biking. No road runs, no long boring road rides just getting out there and enjoying life instead of worrying about tempo runs, intervals, long runs, long rides just dong activities that are fun and letting the fitness follow.
To make things interesting I am doing the Cheakamus Challenge not really strong enough of a rider or fit enough to set the world on fire in the race but it will be fun in a sick sort of way.
Here is an example of a training ride for the event, an early morning rip with Joel (my first ride on Mount Seymour in over 3 years) great fun challenging, interesting, fun not like “training”.
