Canada Day 🇨🇦
Feels like a balmy 28C
I dropped off my girls at their Canada Day volunteering duties (face painting & temporary tattoo applications) and heading to a local trail.
This trail is actually only a few kilometres from my house. A popular mtn bike loop. I train on it often. It's rolly, flowy and fast. After years of training here, I've decided to give the FKT effort a go.
I think I started a little too fast. My heart rate was a little high, but I knew it would be close, if at all possible, to beat the current FKT.
I pushed the downhills, stayed as strong as I could on the uphills and let Taylor Swift pump me up along the way. 🎶
#7 of 9 FKT attempts in 2025
2025 is going to be a great year for adventures! I’m setting out to attempt 25 FKTs in 2025….pushing my limits, exploring new trails and chasing some records;
