Toronto and a Long Trek
Oh dear!
Anger! Do Not Enter
So.. I put on my longest trek thus far… upped my previous by 50% and considerably faster!
I was planning on putting on somewhere between 70 and 80 kms yesterday, but in two different sets (a morning bike and an afternoon bike), but once I got out there I felt great and didn’t want to stop… so I didn’t (well, I mean.. I did.. but not for a while).
60km in 2h37.. up from my 40k in 1:54 last week.

Other than that – just got back from Toronto with the boys.
Took in a couple of Toronto vs Boston games!
Pretty friggin sick. (Click through for bigger versions..)
It was my first time watching a professional baseball game and I’d have to say that I was pretty impressed… Especially when the dome is open. I found that the dynamics of the game changed a tonne when they closed it in the 6th. I guess I just found it weird to play baseball indoors… definitely something that I have never experienced ever before. On a separate note – I find the whole idea of professional sports funny. I mean these guys are the best of the best of the best… but they also have the most perfect conditions ever. The way that the ball comes off the turf at the Skydome is like non-other. Perfect, smooth, high bounces each and every time. Couldn’t be more predictable! And even more so, the infield can sit back and wait for the ball to come to them because it scoots so fast… no need to charge it like on the slow dirt or gravel fields that I have always played on. The same goes for any sport too, not just baseball… but it’s interesting to think about it! I wish I could play a game there.. just to get a feel for it all. It’d be soo different.
Oh what a life one leads.
