Bicycle commute 20:00 [1]
Trail running 50:00 [1]
Nice, easy recovery run with Anita and Regnly, past Ginter for a short loop. Shin still quite swollen from the sting.

Orienteering race 35:00 [3]
Relay race at Canmore Nordic Centre.
Got teamed up with Graeme, Alex Kerr and a junior from Calgary named Bridie for an 8 point team. Alex and Graeme ran well but Bridie turned out to be our ace and allowed me to take it easy on the last leg despite messing around on my first go. Nice forest and complex trail network but I would probably map the trails differently.
Legs tired from the running and shin really swollen from the wasp sting.

Orienteering race 28:50 [4]
Middle distance on new Bow Valley map.
My new favourite map in western Canada. Great contour complexity and up-to-date vegetation make this a great challenge. Combined with good runnability the speed makes it hard to get the 'Flow' going. Made a few smaller bobbles: one hook and two bananas but nothing serious.

Orienteering race 1:00:00 [3]
THOMASS- style race.
Royally messed up the first box, didn't see the finish symbol until late in the game and so ran an extra mile or so to bag my last controls. Also managed to run off the map with some other guys while following a new horse trail. Found decent 'Flow' in the middle section. Got caught in a cut line through green in the second box and stung by a wasp somewhere early in the second box. All in all a fun race but a result to forget.

Event: Barebones 2009
Orienteering race 1:07:00 [3]
Barebones Long @ Mount Laurie.
Scrappy running again. Rolled my bad ankle again en route to #7. Got a bit distracted and made an error. Got rolling again and luckily the ankle wasn't too bad. Finished ahead of Magnus and Patrick.

Barebones Night-O
Lamp dying already en route to #4, pretty much dead by the start of the phi. Sadly headed for home but after running about 1k down the road, found some runners who were also bailing out. Eileen Breseman generously loaned me her Black Diamond headlamp and I headed back to finish the course. It was quite a challenge to run the course alone and with a smaller light. It was way harder to see the contours, forest and reflectors beyond 10m or so.
