Terrible start, blowing the first control though there were lots of people in the same boat.Actually was looking at 7 at one point so nothing looked right. Took it easy for 2 through 5. Controls were very tricky. Hilltops were identified as knolls and the flags were a few feet into the bush and below knee height. Missed 6 as they hide it really well. Bad navigation to 7 so bailed to find 8 and used it to take a bearing to 7. Slow after that until 11. Has trouble finding 12 and after a few attempts headed back to 11. I was so elated to find 11, I punched it thinking it was 12 and headed for 13. Came out of the bush in the wrong place but did not realize I had missed 12. Ran to 13 that was near by and punched, running in. Overtime but thought I had got them all until the "mp" came up. Dumbie!! Should have backtracked from 13 to 12 but my brain must has been fried by then.

Walk in Spirit Sands trail out to the Punch Bowl, a 45 m pit formed from the sand and underground water in this area. Nice stroll after the mess of the COC's Middle.

Event: Canadian Orienteering Championships
 

COC's at Hogsback in Manitoba's Spruce Woods Park. Ran the wrong direction off the start but slowly got my brain back together, though I hit 9 before 8 and 11 before 10. Finished 5 out of 10 but should have done better. Tricky terrain!

Lost the game.

Last summer hockey game. I felt tired after weights and swimming but my skating legs seemed okay. Even had 2 goals for a win.

Morning run to start off the week. Legs and knees felt fine. Good stretch after, especially right IT. Stretch after especially IT bands.

Legs and arms using machines but did some isolation knee and core drills also. Sets of 100 on low weight mostly. Strength was okay. 15:00 stretch after.
