hiking 2:00:00 [3] 10.0 mi (12:00 / mi) +1500m 8:11 / mi

tried to climb Mt MacFarlane, a peak south of Chilliwack, just north of the US border. Didn't leave the trailhead until 12:30pm, so I wasn't really expecting to make it all the way, and just to force myself to not try I left the axe and crampons in the car. The approach trail would have made New England proud: no switchbacks, no water bars, just straight up for 5000' vertical. Got up to the first lake in a couple hours, then the trail started getting dodgier and it took another hour to get around it and up to the second. A few snowfields to cross towards the top, but all doable. Top lake was still frozen solid, so I rolled a giant rock into it to filter water. By this point it was after 4, and while it looked like there was a rock route up to the summit I could see, I wasn't sure if that was a false summit or not. (there was a gorgeous snow chute straight up from the lake had I had the toys). Either way it would have been 1000' and at least a couple more hours, and I didn't really feel like going down the steep trail of death in the dark, so I bailed. Collapsed a huge snow bridge on the way down and fell into a creek, which is always good for the adrenaline. And the shivers.

run with the vancouver crowd, but we showed up late so they had all left already. Down lots of steps, along a creek for a while to a sweet suspension bridge, then back up lots of steps. Then yummy dinner afterwards!

urban sprint at UBC. pretty fun, technical, but without the deadends and stuff, so if you messed up a routechoice you could run through it without doubling back, which made it more fun.

barebones relay in Whistler. too much snow on top of the mountain, so they canceled the middle at the summit and had a relay down in the valley. found a team with Pippa and Martin Pardo, and I got the easy leg (second). started in the front of the second pack through, and traded leads with four or five people the whole time. much fun.

run warm up/down 25:00 [3] 1.0 km (25:00 / km)

orienteering race 56:00 [3] **** 4.2 km (13:20 / km) +90m 12:03 / km

Barebones middle, south of whistler a bit. TechnIcal stuff with lots of little ponds and marshes, with some parts super thick and others fairly open mossy stuff. Fun to navigate through, if hard, and not nearly as frustrating as the long since we only had 4k of it. Even if I was still doing 15 min/k.
12 PM

run 20:00 [3] 1.2 km (16:40 / km)

Control pickup in the nicer open part of the map.
