Note
Up to 97 people registered for BCOCs, although a couple of them (myself and Brian and maybe some others) probably aren't racing. Generally my rule of thumb for organizing events is if I put out less controls than people who are coming, the event is worthwhile (with the exception of OART...).
We've got around 35-45 controls/race for the weekend, so hoping to bump registration up at least over the 100 mark and ideally up to around 120. Just under one week left to sign up.

Trying to explore Rose Valley, but ended up on the wrong road (didn't look up instructions how to get there, just knew roughly where it was...) and ended up at some primarily atv and motorbiking trailhead. Nice trail going up the ridge so I figured why not. A little bit more climb than I was expecting, but nice views around 2/3 of the way up. After that the ridge broadened out more and in was in the trees the rest of the way. Mix of single and double track. Nice primarily pine forest, but way too steep for anything orienteering wise.

View from 2/3 of the way up as posted on Instagram. can't seem to figure out how to get Instagram photos direct embedded here for some reason.

Its insane to think that someone who wants a 1:24 topo/trail map of a forest needs to process lidar, or have someone custom process lidar for them.
Bravo!
Bravo!

Running 52:53 [1] 6.61 km (8:00 / km) +105m 7:25 / km
More exploring, figure I might as well while I have the car, relatively low amounts of homework, and it isn't snowing yet.
Looks like there will be some pretty good terrain up here, hoping the LiDAR that was supposed to get done this summer includes this area. When it becomes available I'll process out Karttapalautin maps to figure out what to investigate further.
Definitely awesome Ski-O potential though - really nice dense trail system, and with enough flattish clearcuts to add more narrow snowmobile cut throughs. Never going to happen though - ski-o just isn't really a thing out here.

Exploring around Mission, took a while to find the trailhead, but nice run once I got there.
Near the top of where I got to in the upper part of the Kelowna Mountain fire area from last decade. Amazing how little forest regrowth there has been.

Finally got around to throwing my GPS track onto the map from this past Sunday (while procrastinating doing biochem and O-Chem between classes).

The terrain was really, really good. Way more rock features than Kartapallautin picked up and more than I drew manually. A few more dirt biking trails that I drew, but they tend to meander a lot which makes it even better. Terrain is absolutely epic, only problem is access - need to talk to some private landowners (dashed Purple Line roughly shows private land boundaries - which is to the west).

Finally figured out this week's weekly map. Took me longer than it should have, but today's clue was pretty conclusive. I think I found the exact list of data it is based on as well.

Got out running today. A few problems with the feet/calves for the first 25 minutes or so, then settled down once I'd stretched them out a bit. Need to find time to make sure I get more consistent running and stretching in.

Little slower than usual today - roads were a bit wet, but didn't get rained on which was nice.

(rest day)
Headwind most of the way back, so didn't a little slower than usual as well. Also, a little tired after a four hour chemistry lab (well... I got out in around 3 hours, which was a nice bonus).
Looks like every Monday when I have Chem lab is going to be my rest day, just not enough time to get any real training in and get enough sleep and food for an 8am class start tomorrow.
