to and from Kinsmen

decided to do a round at the Kinsmen Pitch and Putt (short holes 50-100 yards). A massive thunderstorm in the middle of my round delayed play for half an hour. Don't really golf and hadn't done so since junior high, so I was naturally terrible. Shot a 93 (39 over par), which was not actually that bad for my standards. Look for me soon at a PGA Tour event near you.

Against Eric, won 7-6

Some mountain biking in the river valley

Wednesday night event at the Velodrome Park, a dense trail network required quick decision making. Still pretty warm and muggy out, was sluggish mentally and physically. 3rd place, Geir was 34 minutes and Will was 35 minutes, so not too far back

Western Canadians Sprint event. Worst race, suffered a complete mental breakdown and the worst sprint I have ever done in my life. Went well for the first 5 controls, was taking it fairly steady and was in control navigationally. On the 6th control, I made an incorrect assumption that an elephant trail was actually one of the minor trails marked on the map on my attack, so spent about 5 minutes running around with my head chopped off and never challenging my original assumption. Finally just followed someone and ended up at my 7th control. After finally getting the 6th control, it was a 10 minute control in a sprint race. Jogged in the rest of the race, not bothering to take a bearing back to 7 so losing 2 more minutes and really didn't care after that. Made a dramatic finish line celebration expressing my dislike with my performance.

Sprint Challenge Round 2. Finished 3/5 behind Geir and Bryan May but ahead of Graeme, but Geir mispunched so I was 2nd. However, the final round was cancelled due to thunderstorms
