Training Log Archive: salal

Apparently I was stupid enough to think it would be 'fun' to run a cross-country race... why do I perpetually forget what a pain fest these things are? There is one reasonable hill (and some other rolling sections) on the course, and thought I was going to vomit at the top. The only thing that kept me going was having Catherine right there!
Think they fixed the distance from last year, so it was closer to 5k...

Running warm up with Catherine

Run to the start of the orienteering with Catherine

Alternating controls at Sumas with Catherine. Fun, some brutal uphills, a bit of thrashy bush, but some beautiful areas. Very dry out there (the small lakes were runnable), felt very thirsty by the end!
