Morning run with Abby again. Super hot out and she got tired fast, so I headed over to the lake early. Took a while to get her out, so decided to take her back home after 20min. Went back out for another short loop afterwards.

O-training on the Mt. Lorne map.

Really, really tough. Had to ignore the small hills and just go completely on my compass. The open areas are good features to go by, but the sandy hills within them are super hard to figure out. Woods are insanely fast.

Did ok for the most part. On some I was bang on but spent some time trying to spot the ribbon, or the ribbon was slightly mis-hung. To #8 and ended up way to the left. Compass was spinning like crazy throughout the leg. Went back to try it again afterwards and still ended up to far to the left...

First race in the yukon on the coppertown map. Didn't do much of a warm-up which was really dumb. This meant that the large climb to #1 was a shock to the system and didn't set a nice tone for the rest of the course.

The air is so dry here, and I found that I was quite 'wheezy' for much of the race. Similar to what I get early in ski season when I'm not used to the cold dry air. So hopefully this goes away with time. The no-warm-up probably didn't help things.

Found it difficult to get through the green woods. I think I lost considerable time zig-zagging through the dense pines.

Otherwise the course went quite well. Only a few small bobbles. Many of the legs were quite easy though.QuickRoute
