Ontario Champs long - 1st by not quite 4 minutes over Mark and another fiveish over Nick despite feeling slightly less than prime physically as Hans and Nick, at least, presumably Wil too and I'm less sure about Mark had some big errors plus physical problems, i.e. a triumph not because I navigated brilliantly or ran really fast but because I navigated consistently adequately and ran fairly fast. I'll still take it.

Event: Ontario Orienteering Championships / Eastern Canadian Orienteering Champio
 

Ontario Champs Middle - fifth with enough small to, on control nine in particular, medium sized errors that winning might just have been in reach.

Ontario Champs sprint - not sure of placing but well back after apparently larger errors than I realised while running. Hans won in around 16:40.

Cycling to work.

Running home from the Freer Gallery after seeing what is apparently the only complete surviving Chinese martial arts (given the lack of sophistication of the fight scenes compared to modern standards, the term is being used loosely) film from the silent era. With live musical accompaniment by a three member ensemble that has been touring nationwide with the film - Dan saw the same program in Bloomington last month. Went by way of the Lincoln Memorial then up the Potomac shoreline and Rock Creek Park, with a bit of an excursion through Georgetown in order to get from the dirt trails on the east side of the first stretch of creek to the dirt trails on the west side further upstream, then through Adams Morgan.

Cycling to work and back.

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks, 3x100m strides and three short hill sprints.

Cycling to work and back with a stop at the Silver Spring TPSS.

Abdominal exercises - neglected lately but should happen more consistently during the upcoming base training phase.
