11 AM

Orienteering 1:00:00 [2] 6.8 km (8:49 / km) +62m 8:26 / km
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 285

Out with Hammer checking out some new terrain and map. Some very nice stuff - map looked similar to Clarence Marshes area back home.
Really nice to go out and get out of my head, I really needed it - thanks Hammer (for lunch as well)

5 PM

Running - Trail 59:24 [3] 9.81 km (6:03 / km) +102m 5:45 / km
shoes: Trail Kinvara - Earl Tea Greys

Since I'm a serious athlete, I do 2 workouts a day.
Can't miss a TNT from a rare Thursday off. I'd planned on just jogging around, but when #t showed up and started running fast, I figured I should go along.
Felt good running fast. Training has been extremely unstructured at the moment and I thought this would be a strugglefest - but was actually invigorating.

shoes: Inov8 Roclite 285

Short pre-ARK run + 2 sessions of zombie racing.

Running - Trail 43:21 [2] 5.97 km (7:16 / km) +291m 5:50 / km
shoes: 2013 Orocs

Alarm clock fail meant I missed a rare chance at smt.
Still wanted to get out before the week of rain started and get a Domestique session in, so went out and grabbed all the Nationals training controls that were left to be retrieved. Got back 10 mins after the crew.

C • You know, alarm clocks aren... 4

shoes: 2013 Orocs

Flagging locations for P2P. Sweet forest, found some new trails that will require a slight course rework, except for the 10k racers, as there will be no trails on their 2nd map :)

2 PM

Running - Trail 2:00:49 [3] 17.62 km (6:51 / km) +353m 6:14 / km
shoes: Trail Kinvara - Earl Tea Greys

Back on the BT train.
Slowly continuing north, this time in the Silver Valley CA and Scottsdale Farm. Lot's of people out today, a lot of Hikesters instagramming every leaf and rock (#nature) whose method of letting you pass on the trail is to stand still and stare at you with deer in the headlights look in their eyes to some typical Canadians who get out of your way, then apologise :)

Amazing spot for a run at the best time of year - very happy I mad my way out.

Waking up a few long controls and taping an OOB area for the long.

Orienteering 45:00 [1]
shoes: Inov8 Roclite 285

Waking up Middle controls and hanging a few flags with Hammer in the now infamous 'marshy/boggy' never raced on until today section of the map.
Not a lot of sleep, but feeling OK.

Very proud to see so many ARXers and ARK Attackers on the podium later that day.

Getting the trail network down on the Twilight Zone area of RTH.
Doesn't make the area any easier.
One sweet ridge run which I'm tempted to put in at the end as reward for getting through the Nav. Amazing Autumn colours at the moment.
