QOC Broadcreek event. This was a Score-O event with 24 controls. The course setter divided them up between three different sections of the map with 8 in each section. I went for the furthest away section with hope of picking up the 8 plus three others that were near by route to that section. Problem was I went too for on one path and had to double back. Then I only had time to get back to finish and was still a few minutes over the 90 minute time limit. I was trying to stick to trails most of the time. Should of used direct route thru forest although it was very hilly. The course setter Jan showed me good routes that I should have taken afterwards. Hopefully I can remember those lessons for next time. Only ended up getting 5 controls in the section I was working on.

Weather was windy and lower 30s. Ground was snowcovered so that made it a little harder to me. Whenever I tried to take a shortcut along a ridge or stream, I was slipping all over the place. Must have fallen down four times, once slipped into a stream while crossing and got my foot completely wet. But, funny thing the foot did not get cold. Probably because I was running and keeping warm. I was dressed pretty well with a SmartWool t-shirt base layer and Nike fleece shirt so did not get too hot or cold.

Morning abs and stretching.

Bike to work. Warm morning, no jacket required. Forecast is for thunderstorms later but I'll take my chances. Hopefull they will miss us or I'll be lucky enough not to get caught in it on the way home.

Total body weight training. Just as I was leaving work the temperature dropped dramatically and strong winds picked up from west. I got a ride home to avoid the storm instead of riding the bike. The rain started falling hard. It would have been a cold, wet ride which I can really do without.

Fast ride into work this morning. Wearing shorts in the AM for the first time. Great ride!

Bike home. Another great ride. It was windy like there a storm was coming in, but it blew over. I had a pretty nice tail wind most of the way home.

Decided to go for a run after biking home from work. Just ran up and down my street until I had enough. Now my calves are really tight. Maybe from running on pavement the entire time.

Morning abdominal workout followed by stretching.

Bike to work. Temp in mid 40s. I brought shorts to wear on the way home today because the forecast is for 70F. Whoo-hoo!!

Bike home via the pipe line route at the end. Very tough climb and the ground was soggy making it even harder. Good workout and ride.

Bike to work. It's cold now but will warm up this afternoon. Will be carrying a lot of the clothes I had to wear this morning.

Great ride home. It's warm and there is plenty of light. What's not to like?

Total body weight training.
