(rest day)
Spent the day at a World Wetlands Day symposium at U Waterloo. Was fun to be on an experts panel Q and A with Kevin Rich from Ducks Unlimited. I've previously only see Kevin at adventure racing and adventure running events. Had hoped to ski at Bechtel on the way home but it was already a long day of talks and brutal K-W traffic so rest day it is.

beauty run through the snowy DV with Trav. Started with a historical tour of Maplewood and then most of the normal route. Did a full on travesty with the 10cm of new snow covered up some ice. But overall a super fun run. K2 was magical this morning.

Ever wanted to know what my fave race of the year looks like from a racer's perspective? Then check out this sweet video review of the 2014 SSR by GetOutThere magazine. They even got some video of 'Bent towing me across the finish line. ;-)

Orienteering 50:00 [3] ***
spiked:3/3c
Knee felt fine so went out to the NW section of the SSR in a raging blowing snow storm. Near zero visibility and huge drifts at yesterday's finish line. Ran a but with GHOSLO. Logie had already picked up the CPs I was going to get but that was OK since it was great to get out and snowshoe off trail again and I didn't feel like paying $20 to XC ski on a marked route.
Crazy drive back to BMR ploughing thru 1m drifts then sliding sideways down scenic caves hill. Fun weekend in the snow. Now back to icy conditions in the Hammer.

Thanks to Coach Tarno several of our Adventure Running X athletes (and their parents) are getting a free VO2 MAX test this winter. It is part of a parent-child (ages 10-17 fitness study.
Wow, VO2 MAX testing, winter races and training, summer camp, summer trip to Whistler. This is starting to look like a real team thanks to PH, Dana and Tarno.

Course planning has started and...there will be blood.
15th Annual Raid the Hammer - "The Bloody Assize"
November 9, 2014 (Ancaster, Ontario)
-Brand new (revised and exanded orienteering map of the entire Dundas Valley that links Dundas, Ancaster, Greensville, and West Hamilton
-Some sections of terrain never used before for orienteering
-Final race of the Ontario Adventure Racing Points Series
http://www.attackpoint.org/eventdetail.jsp/event_1...
For more info on Ancaster's Bloody Assize see this link (and no the theme of this race has nothing to do with the fact that American teams won both overall and coed last year). ;-)
