Easy run with Nate in PS park. Tired. SW Marine, Salish, Liily of the Valley, Vine Maple, Nature, Deer Fern, Huckleberry, Hemlock, Council, Sasamat, St. Georges.

Dirty duo race in North Van. Wimped out and ran the 15k course instead of the 25k. Not a whole lot of competition on this course. The signage was not so great and I didn't have a map, so I managed to go off course after about 5 minutes. Realized after a while that things didn't look right and I hadn't seen any flagging. Went I came back to the original trail I saw an ocean of runners ahead of me. Luckily they were all running around the side of the trail trying to avoid all the ponds in the middle, leaving a clear track for me to pass by in the middle.

Kept passing people, but had no idea what position I was in. Passed the leader 40 minutes later going up Homestead.

Legs felt sore from the start (probably delayed onset from Thursday), but they got better after passing Rice Lake. Was able to push it up Homestead and back from Rice Lake.

Some very impressive times by the others on the 25k. Julien, Jamie, Magnus and Louise all under 2:30.

5x6min trail intervals in PS park. Started at Park Warden's office, down 16th, right on Salish, right on powerline, right on 16th. Maybe not the most exciting loop, since it was all paved/gravel. Legs felt quite bad today, and couldn't really finish it properly. The first 2 were ok, but then the legs fell apart and almost jogged the last ones. Probably not recovered from the weekend and Tuesday's hard intervals.

EOS group run.

Missed WET tonight since I didn't bring a lamp and the course was longer than expected so people with lamps were returning too late for me to start. Next week orienteering is in the daylight!

20x200m intervals at the track, with Tristan, Louise, Nathan, Rachel, and Rob. 1 minute rest. Overcast, little wind. Ran mostly in lane 3, with T in lane 2. Did the last 4 a little harder. Similar speed to last September, but this felt much easier.
