Glacier school on Mt.Baker. Lots of self arrest training, learning to build anchors, and so on. Very cool.

Event: Canadian Orienteering Championships
 

Hiking up the north side of Mt.Baker in a downpour, up until about 5400ft.

Traveling to Seattle all day, then driving to Bellingham, WA.

Nice evening run with Becky (and Kat in the beginning) around East Rock. The hour seemed to go by quickly, a sign of good company and cooler weather. Then was hissed on by the devil beasts before dinner.

C • Aw... 5

Running around Lynn Woods with Sam and streamering control locations. Had to move a couple, but most of the others seem good. Definitely still some work left to do on the courses, especially white, orange, and brown.

C • Controls 3

After lunch, shadowed Alex around a course on Breakheart reservation. Sam was tasked with distracting Alex, which turned out be a hard task, as Alex did a good job of focusing on her map. I made her run a few controls without a compass, and then had her and Sam race head to head for a few controls. I think this was good training for all of us. You can just get so much more quality out of training with other people.

At East Rock with Kat in the evening, easy.

Followed Becky's suggestion and ran back after dropping the car off at the mechanic's. Added on a short loop around East Rock. Felt pretty terrible - heat and lack of sleep, and overall soreness from my attempts to fly isn't helping, either.
