Orienteering Race race 47:42 [5]
West Point Middle
Well, at the start I realized I had forgotten my control description holder, so that was a good sign.
Mega face-plant on the way to 1 plus got pulled way too far down towards the Blue control. Long leg and the control many had trouble with was fine. Just not very fast, but in the right direction.
Then totally blew up at 9, guess I didn't go far enough, paniced and ran around in circles. Should have bailed out, made a new plan and went back in on a hard compass.

Orienteering Race 1:13:46 [5] 7.4 km (9:58 / km)
Constance bay Long Advanced
Once one of my favourite Ottawa maps, it is still great in some spots, but with smaller trees growing up, it has a shelf life. I'm sure it is not fun later in the year, as well as lush with poison ivy.
The whole run wasn't great. First Orienteering of the year and managed to pull a big screw-up going from 2-3. Great. Throughout the day the rough compass really needs work so much drifting and not paying attention. A few times I realized what I had done and I had Stefan's voice in my head going "you need to check your compass".
About halfway around the course both heels started hurting and my left one really was killing me. Blisters. Awesome. By the southern loops I was limping and trying to keep Benoit in sight as he went through me.
At the car afterwards checked damage: massive open flesh wound on the left, also giant blister on the right. This will probably really impact West Point to say the least.
Constance Bay: it was used for a WOC Team Trials. Can anyone guess the year and guess the 4 Ottawa club members who qualified for WOC, with a 4th almost being qualified (note: not everyone accepted).

Running 1:15:00 [3]
Nice run, good temp. The weather was just gross yesterday and didn't get out (yes, I'm made of sugar).
Ran by the Norwegian, Dane and Swedish Embassies through Rockcliff.
New Mizunos which felt great.

Cross-country skiing (Classic) 2:00:00 [2]
Break out the Rosa and Universal klister, time for +10 spring skiing at Lac Phillippe with Karl and Megan!
Amazing conditions, so much snow. They had groomed it this weekend and almost no tracks out there. My skis started out super grabby, but that settled down. Pretty dirty snow with needles, but hey, it's so warm and super fun.
In other news, I have done something to my upper back while writing a briefing note on the Ontario Budget. The most Ottawa injury of all time. Was working on a coffee table, sitting on the floor or hunched over. I need to stay in better spots.

Running 45:00 [3]
Body was not happy with this one. At least my right foot has stopped hurting.
Now to go for burgers and beer with climate economists and journalists!
I'll go for Texas Tech as the ACC doesn't need another banner.

Cross-country skiing 2:00:00 [2]
Long ski from P7 with King Karl and Andre.
Karl used something called "reasonable pacing" to keep us in line and had a really fun ski. The snow was SLOW, but there's so much of it.

Cross-country skiing (skating) 1:45:00 [3]
So the plan was to ski at dawn. Dawn turned into noonish as I skied with friends with kids. So, snow was super slow and man, this was a workout.
There is so much snow in the Gats. Wow.
The Cult was on the radio on the way to skiing, this is still awesome, even with the horrendous videos they were famous for:

I always think of a CFNY parody of Snow Removal Machine.
