geocaching 48:19 [2] 2.44 km (19:48 / km)
ahr:96 max:144 shoes: adidas Response Trail XII 0040
I couldn't resist attempting the impossible, finding a geocache meant only for access by boat. I failed today but I still hope to get at GC1DA9K before using snowshoes. My average heart rate is so low because I had to take a cell phone call from Newfoundland while standing in knee-deep near-freezing water in the reeds on the Ottawa River.

Event: OOC Gatineau Park P7
Running race 56:54 [4] 10.0 km (5:41 / km)
slept:5.0 shoes: ASICS Gel-Kahana
This was my 11th Terry Fox run. I ran early so that I can head to the Gatineaus. My first lap was all alone and was the faster lap. I missed a negative split by 20 seconds but met my target of an effort stronger than the Boilermaker. Mind you, conditions were much better than the BM.
orienteering race 2:13:31 [3] *** 7.1 km (18:48 / km)
10c shoes: adidas Response Trail XII 0040
Lac Fortune
Long advanced
Linda put on a good course with legs of varying length and challenging distance and climb. However, the map is just too stale, especially concerning new trails near Camp Fortune (nordic, alpine and aerial). Because of unmapped trails, I was unable to locate control #8 with the limited energy I had left by then.
Today I couldn't out run any of the walkers on my course. I screwed up lots (which is not unusual). I felled down lots (which is very unusual). I don't want to blame the 10k road race. However, even though I had blown control #8, there was no way that I was jogging back to the finish without visiting the control #9 water stop for a long drink.
With or without the 10k run, dehydration was a factor. Leaving #1, I drifted right and played at the rock piles 100m south of target. I was slowest racer on leg 2.
Flying down from #3, I turned left too early and found myself all messed up in the no-go red zones. Buildings and roads were missing from the map. However, that's not the mapper's problem because I shouldn't be in that section any way. I was almost slowest on leg 4.
While it wasn't my original route plan, from #4 I followed the stream all the way. From #6 to #7 took forever (all the way up and all the way down, three times) and the walking crowd caught up with me. I took the longest on leg 7.
Brain dead exhausted at this point, I mistakenly headed for #9 rather than #8. Now coming at #8 from the chalet parking lot, I could not locate the trails or the open lands that I needed.
I had time to fix things but I no longer had the energy. On the long jog back, I visited #9 (water), #13 and #17.

geocaching 1:33:18 [1] 5.44 km (17:09 / km)
shoes: adidas Response TR 14
I don't like to log strolling-through-the-woods geocaching. There is no training element involved. The effort is less than minimal. Caching on the map weeks ago was no help in today's orienteering event. However, because of the significant climb and the preceeding race efforts, I decided to log the distance in my shoes and the time moving.
