Bruce Trail - Appleby and 401 to Guelph Line near Dundas

Image
Dropped off supplies at each point the trail crosses Guelph Line ahead of my run. 2 x 1L bottles of water that I then crunched up and carried in my back pack. Cousin picked me up at parking area on Guelph Line just North of Dundas Street in Burlington and dropped me off at Appleby and 401. First time running Southbound on the trail, had to due to lack of parking at north end. Over a minute faster per km compared to the previous section of Bruce trail ( Scenic Dr to G Line ) Felt great until Walkers Line and No 2 Side Road, just too hot at the end of an already long day, as demonstrated by this pace/elevation chart.

Beaver Valley Bruce Trail - Part 2

Image
Slept in hammock, horrible sleep, clothes were wet so I shivered all night. Got going, legs felt about 30% but I was moving, that's what mattered. Once I got to 4k I started to pick up the pace and sped along at around a 8min/km pace, I was happy with that. At 16km I started to really slow down. The stiffness, heat, and lack of sleep caught up to me. (Not to mention chaffing) By 26 I was done, and okay with being done. It's not often that I DNF but today I felt that I'd do damage to chaffed areas if I didn't stop.

Niagara End to Newburn Road

My first attempt of this leg was spoiled by me not seeing that the trail had turned, instead I had wandered around a quarry section and eventually found the trail after about 1.5 km. I then stayed on the trail the rest of the way to Newburn Road. The strava record below is my run back to the car on all white Bruce Trail the whole time. For reference sake I've also included my strava record of my way to Newburn. Not too technical Saw a few groups of trail runners Ran w/ dog off leash but carried one in my hand whole time.
