Event: MNOC - Hyland Lake
 

Setting controls, jogging a bit of the orange course with Kelly, and warming up for the sprint at various times in the day at Hyland. Another great skills clinic day!

Fun sprint course at Hyland. Had a good run with two bobbles, one small one medium. Into CP two I overshot it a bit as I ran the fence line looking to the right for the boulder at which I expected the control. I ran about 3m too far down the hill before I realized I had probably gone to far. Turned around and headed into the woods and saw it right away. The rest of the course went well until CP 14. After 13, I recognized the area of the control and told myself that it was a small foot trail that headed north right at the beginning of the ski trail. So I put my map down and ran hard to it. Well, there were two trails that went north around there, and I ran to the second, more easterly one. I ran up it, saw nothing and had to bushwack over to the CP. I felt like it cost me a lot of time, but it was likely only 15 seconds. Pete really crushed this course. Even without those two mistakes he still had me by 30 seconds and I was running at my best. Hats off to that performance. Pete, can't you get old faster or something?

Sprint - Splits

Trail running with Danielle around the north side of Hyland, up and down the ski hill a few times. I am feeling pretty out of shape.

Running/hills workout before curling. Many thanks to all who came to watch and support us, I had a brilliant time. We continue our quest this evening.

Great curling match. It was so fun to have everyone there to learn the sport and support me, I loved it. Thank you everyone.

Biked home from the board meeting, this time more directly and was working to get home in time not to worry the roommate too much.

Biked to the MNOc board meeting, played around in the lake area for a bit before I got to thinking around 5:30 that it might take an hour and half to get there. Stopped at Erik's to borrow a wrench to tighten my left crank arm on the way there. A nice day for riding.

Bike training with Danielle and her crew. Skipped brekfast to get there in time. Two hour session highlighted by three 16 minute climbs. I felt good for the first two, great for the second one even, but ran out of blood sugar before the third. Was shaky when I stepped off the bike. Should have brought one or two more bananas.
