Event: Peak-2-Peak Adventure Run
orienteering - General (Ontario's Long) 1:04:30 [3] 11.2 km (5:46 / km) +149m 5:24 / km
A weekend of orienteering wouldn't be the same if I didn't miss one of my starts. Kept it to just a minute unlike the previous North Americans. Thrown off from the beginning I made another couple minutes of mistakes (plus the already minute) on the first control. I eventually settled down on the third leg. Clean (besides a couple small mistakes) up until the final loop where slopiness set in. Overall fairly happy with my race and getting over the poor start.
running warm up/down 20:00 [1]

orienteering - General race (Ontario’s sprint) 15:35 [4]
Overall went well. Lost 20 seconds on a route choice (that probably should not have been an option) and then some sloppiness amongst all trees in the field.
running warm up/down 45:00 [1]
Warm up and cool downs for the day
orienteering - General (Ontario’s Middle) 38:15 [4]
Fairly poor race. Lacked intensity going through the forest in the beginning until I passed Robbie going the opposite direction on a trail and realized he was 90 seconds ahead of me. This certainly brought my speed up where it should be but my focus disappeared. I recovered for a couple good controls and a nice big mistake where I didn’t see a large fence on the map, got a nice long detour out of it, plus the added joy of running through more green.

running long 1:06:23 [2] 12.0 km (5:32 / km) +272m 4:58 / km
An easy long run. Watch was dying so actually around an 18km run.
running 30:00 [2] 6.2 km (4:50 / km)
The end of my run. Gmaps pedometer says 6.2km
running warm up/down 10:00 [1]
My right calf and thigh weren't feeling so good so I did some jogging around to get them moving fairly comfortably
Strength 40:00 [3]
ARK. Suppose to be with a partner
...however I lacked one so I got to do:
- a 1 mile run up some hills holdig a medicine ball (10lbs?)
- 100 push ups
After my courageous attempt at this, Patrick and Broder pitied me so I only
had to do half the amount each team had to do.
- 100 ball slams (you would expect with the medicine ball)
- 150 squats (with the medicine ball)
- and that mile medicine ball run again

running warm up/down 20:00 [2]
Run along the roads of Dundas, some stretches at the beautiful DVSS track/path. Then ran a lap to figure out where all the puddles/mud was.
running intervals 28:02 [4] 5.9 km (4:45 / km)
Simply pristine running conditions; raining, windy, and cold. Having never really run any track workouts I was just more just trying to run at a constant pace and get a feel for what different paces feel like.
4x800m started every 4 minutes and my times were something like 2:50, 2:45, 2:45, 2:40. Then I did two 400s, followed by two 300s, and a 200. These I was just trying to accelerate quickly.
