shoes: R-NB-760
Travel day.
Got up bright & early to run along the False Creek and English Bay waterfronts in Vancouver, and found Vancouver to be a very quiet city at 5:30am - much quieter than others I've run in at that hour, esp. given how light it is already.
Ended @ Tim Horton's to get drinks for me & Angelica as we set off back to SEA & PHL

Orienteering race 32:38 [4] 7.11 km (4:35 / km) +157m 4:08 / km
ahr:166 max:174 shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330
After a fun week & a half of being a little ahead or behind Brian May, I had the joy of starting exactly 1 minute after Brian in a UBC campus Sprint. Pushed hard, hoping to catch him, and saw him just twice on the course on out & back legs, judging both times that I was still close to one minute behind, which was helpful in getting me to push hard through the end. Which was a valuable motivation as we ended up tied, to the second...
A bit of navigational sloppiness here and there, but probably much less than one minute total. Angelica had a very solid run as well, perhaps even cleaner than mine. We're both finally getting half decent at navigation after this 3 week racing trip - at least on easyish Sprint races ;)

Orienteering race 49:17 [2] *** 10.85 km (4:33 / km) +174m 4:12 / km
42c shoes: O-Inov8 Mudclaw 330
Long-distance, 42-control Sprint-style park race @ Stanley Park in Vancouver. Starting list was great with a 7 person pack expected, with me in the middle, and unfortunately, just as I'd gained 50 of the 60 seconds on Eric Kemp, a toilet break became mandatory and the after that was taken care of, the pack was past. Thus my hoped for assessment of how long I could run with the likes of Mike Smith, and Brian May was lost.
Note-to-self that Chili for dinner, and Cheerios for breakfast are now banned, pre-important-race. Bagels and/or oatmeal are much more reliable for breakfast.

Orienteering race 23:00 [4] *** 3.06 km (7:31 / km) +140m 6:07 / km
26c shoes: O-VJ-Grey-Spikes
A really fun first leg of relay, mass-start forest Sprint event. Probably my favorite event of the whole summer trip.
Started at a reasonable pace up the hill, then started pushing toward 2, taking the lead at 3 and holding it to 8 with furious pressure - 4 guys jockeying for first and I often had to dash the last 10 meters to get my punch in first. 8-11-14 was a butterfly (apparently common to all participants), which the lead pack of 4 guys were a bit sloppier on, taking turns making 5 second errors. I think I was first to 13 as others missed a bit. Got to with 5 meters of 15 in the lead with Patrick S. and stopped, but didn't look behind the cliff and we dashed off to make a 55 second error - and due to our previous mistakes, the rest of the pack, incl. the 3 lead women, had been only about 15 seconds behind, and probably 8-10 people went through # 15 before me. Patrick & I furiously raced downhill slowly overtaking a few people, and though we closed the gap in the remaining 5 minutes, the 3 top women, incl. Louise Oram & Abigail May, finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, with me about 15 seconds behind.
