Virden is very velcoming

SNM day 22

It's official, we are now in Manitoba!

3 provinces already completed with over 2200 km running and cycling done!

So have you ever had one of those mornings where you really had a hard time getting up and everything seemed a bit off and out of focus?  Well, my iphone alarm rang and I got up and started to get ready and Monique just wasn't moving at all (which is unusual).  So I turned on the lights and started the coffee and made a bit more noise, but she still wasn't getting the hint.  Eventually she got up and stated she was just too tired to get going - looked at her iphone and said - it's not even midnight, what are you doing?? I looked at my iphone which clearly stated 5:40 am Sunday.  Now this was a bit of a quaundry - whose iphone was telling the truth and whose was lying. Outside it was still completely dark - Monique's iphone got the first point. It seemed like the night was very very short, Monique's iphone was clearly in the lead and we scrounged around and found Monique's watch and clearly my iphone lost.  I rebooted and the right time and date came up, and we both went back to bed. THAT was the false start of a great day (WEIRD!)

Did get an early start on the run and cycle and amidst a day of slight rain to muggy cloudy to beautifully hot and sunny, we made our way from Eastern SK to Western MB crossing the border in good time and getting to Virden without difficulty.  It was a solid day of cycling, the winds were intermittent and not nearly as strong, so the day was not as nasty as yesterday.
