2 man relay at Riverside park, ran three short loops, plus a short sprint at aberdeen.

ran course at dufferin, the one that people ran last weekend. Made 2 errors (about 3-4 mins lost collectively), one stupid error that might not have happened had there been a control, the other possibly due to something funny about the map (thomas thinks there is an extra re-entrant).
Also lost a minute or so to picking prickly pears out of my calves and shoes.

Slowish o-tervals at six mile, already pretty tired. Managed to pick it up a bit to try to beat thomas and matthias.

Orienteering with thomas and matthias at Chartrand creek. Kinda depressed and not paying that much attention at the begining, since it had been clearcut since last summer due to the pine beettle. Then we got into some intact forest and I was happier. Somewhat relevant to team trials?

Night-O at valleyview with meghan.

running around on my map at rice lake with thomas so he could look at how it is going and give constructive criticism :)

SET at lighthouse park, ran pretty hard for some, but a bit tired from a long day of fieldwork. Fun route choice, but some bad encounters with crappy deadfall and some funny parts of the map.

bike to ubc

physio exercises, some other strength, and stretching.
Then sat in hot tub for 5 mins, before meeting thomas for lunch.

cycle home (more downhill, and less wind :)

run on the baden powel trail with Thomas, Matthias and Meghan M. Quite steep up, then some flater bits, then turn around and go back down :). Met a very denfensive grouse who chased us off the trail and up over a hill, all the while he made his little noises and continued to follow us... we managed to get away but kept on thinking he might still be following. We were rather scared, perhaps more so than we should have been. On the way back down we saw him again, but this time ran fast and carried sticks. We were told by some hikers we passed that he had gone for them too, and got the guy with his talons near the eye (flew up into his face).

run on the beach in the morning with thomas

4 times sets of 3 different exercises.
