Warm up

Fast and furious NorAm sprint. Legs felt heavy but the knee was fine. Now to get ready for the SSR! But the highlight of the day was watching AG! win the NORAM Jr. Sprint title and run a kick ass first leg in the relay just behind Alex Jospe on the leg. Woot. #ProudDad She missed being preselected to 2015 World Champs sprint team by 4 seconds.

Sprint - Course 5b - Splits

Acted my age today and had an almost clean race in M45. One mistake on #6 and was able to win by a few seconds.

Was so happy to see Robbie,Wil and Damian sweep the podium for Canada in men's elite today. Training pays off eh!

warm-up

Long - Course 7A - Splits

Warmup

15th placed elite North American despite 5 mistakes totalling 6 minutes including one 4+ minute error. This area still gives me problems with navigation though I think I wasn't the only one that had troubles at #5. The veg boundary threw me off. Was pleased I was able to run hard with a good group for a few CPs (and lead them into several as well). Surprised to be 5 minutes from the podium. I shouldn't be that close with such a poor run but I'll take some more scalps.

Wonderful anniversary pot luck dinner back at Camp DontGetLost!! The men's NAOC winners from 1986, 1990, 1992, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2008, and 2014 were in attendance!! Proud of the ARK/ARX performances today on some tough kids courses.

easy jog on Gula Stigen. very slick and with knee being sore I stopped at just one loop (6.5 minutes) to play it safe. Open rock at Dinner Bog area was also very slick yesterday so I anticipate spikes will be useful at Carp.

Tomorrow the footprint of the Nottage gets the soil scraped off and then garage blasting takes place on Tuesday. Apologies to the Smiths in advance for any extra noise the next few days. :-)

testing the knee at ARX pre-NAOC boot camp. The X gang ran tough. I did not.
