Cross-country skiing (skating) 1:00:00 [1]
Skiing around the trails watching the Alberta Cup skate race. The men did 15km including 3 times up Esso Hill. 3 juniors swept the podium for the men.
The chief of course was very hard-core in terms of keeping people off the course during the race, a little too intense. It's an Alberta Cup, not a WC. Actually, there's probably more countries skiing here than Whistler.
Race conditions: Perfect. Just above freezing, good solid snow, good grooming.
Some dudes skiing in short sleeves. Totally not warm enough for that and not a good look.

Orienteering Race race 36:02 [4] *** 4.8 km (7:30 / km)
spiked:11/14c
EOOC were putting on Winter Fun 2009 which consisted of a sprint race (more of a middle) on the U of A campus to help with people doing a Sport Ident clinic. Was forced to sign up as a member of EOOC to run, so I guess I'm a member, although not sure who I'll race for. Evidently Marilyn did not tell me to join Foothills in her last email like I thought.
Course went down into the river valley and that section was tough in the snow. Map was 1:5000 and the area still has the potential to be top-notch area.
I know the campus just well enough to know that trying short-cuts probably won't work. Example, I knew there was a control on the Butterdome, but didn't know how to get there.
Felt toast from all the sun.
