I figured out how to handle the mosquitoes and FDFs of summer. Move to BC. Saw only 4 mosquitoes and 2 horse flies in 10 days. Not bad.

MAC core

Barefoot beach running at half moon bay in pacific rim NP. Had planned to swim a bit but water super cold. So just a quick dip instead. Beautiful weather.

Much needed workout after several days of running. Black rock resort on van island!

Lost lake trails with Etoile. Played on the blue trails while she took on the greens. Then finished off ride with Serghei and the Griz.

Lost lake trails with Serghei S and Tarno. Totally shredded the blue trails. Very sweet trails and tough workout. Legs quite tired after lots of rugged O.

Nationals relay at (DontGet) Lost Lake. Never got into this and jogged through most of the course and also made
two silly mistakes. Some great results by ARXers

Easy warmup after taking the chairlift to start.
Later in the day took chair lifts to top of Blackcomb.
bmay helped me get over my fear. Then I took the peak-2-peak across to whistler. I pity the person that had to sit where I sat next #sweaty

Rugged Fun. Best way to describe today's terrain.
Ran well with only 10s of errors. Knee fine.

Long M45 - Splits

jogging a portion of the fundraiser at the top of the gondola. Yes I made it up the gondola.

Congrats Emma! :-)

Canadian Elite sprint champion at 16 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made possible by her dedication, awesomeness, and being part of an excellent group of athletes and coaches in ARK and ARX.

Medals are great (and ARK and ARXers won another 8 today too) but these photos tell the real reason why ARK is a success!

Easy warm up on training map

Nationals middle. Lots of ice and vitamin I got me to the start line. Fun and challenging nav got me to the finish. Two 40s errors and then tired legs (still recovering from 8hr AR) cost me time on the final loop. But I'll take the scalps.

Good results by DGL juniors.

Middle M21E - Splits

Nationals training after lots of knee icing and vitamin I. Was
Able to jog 10 minutes. The knee pain appears to be bursitis. Painfull but not that bad if I walk at times and wear compression wraps on the knees.

Jogged with Etoile but messed up two CPs big
Time and she beat me on those.

Spent most of the day at beach and whistler Brewhouse. Last time I raced nationals it was in a cow paddy filled field with long grass and skeeters. I like the upgrade whistler.
