| Orienteering training camp up at Lac Phillipe. Started off with a contour reading excercise where every single control was in a re-entrant. Did pretty well, made a few mistakes, but finished it in a bout 35min. Next one was really neat, went in partners, the odd numbered controls, we'd hang a ribbon, and then meet up with our partners on the even numbered controls. Then go backwards and pick up the other person's ribbons. That was a blast, and finished in about 40min. After lunch, I took a group back to the same spot while some other people went to go look for a girl who had gottne lost for about 2hrs now. That went well, but then the girl got found, and they were still out there yelling, so I went out and blew my brains out on my whistle pretending to be the girl so they'd come and find me. Only worked for one person unfortunately, but everybody else got a good run in, including me!! Picked up the controls afterwards which wasn't a lot of fun because no matter how fast I ran, the deer flies followed me!!! Such a pain, that buzzing cloud of flies!!!!! A swim once we got back to the beach was definitely welcoming. |

| Band is over, so I got to stay for the whole practise which was awesome. Played a big game, I was on one team for half, but then a player left, so I was on the other team which was way more fun!!! I got passed to a lot more, and one of the guys smells really good!!!! :P |

| Went to Keogon to check out the woods where the training camp was going to be, and boy was it ever thick!!! It was sooooo hard to see, and even harder to run. Spent a whole 2hrs slogging around in the bush trying to figure out the woods. A few acceptable spots, but they were scarce. |

| Trail run back to the parking lot, the only good workout we got from the orienteering. |

| orienteering race 43:00 [3] | |
| |
| At Rockcliff which was fun since we got to run past all of the ginormous houses. Had a much better route than last week, and was actually able to find all of the control cirlces on the map. Skipped the 2 farthest ones, one by the lake, and then the last one in the middle of the street section. Was the first one back...ran throught poison ivy though...the second time this week. |

| Had the best run in Gatineau Park yet. It started out as a trail run, but we abandonned that idea after the trail kinda ended. Ran aimlessly (well kind of, we contoured around to Pink Lake Hill) without a map or compass just kinda checking out the woods. Ran through some random patches of poison ivy that were in a weird spot, got totally lost trying to find the parking lot, and then came out on this road with giant houses. Had to run all the way down to the highway...then to the parkway...and then up a few hills to the parking lot. A sick run...just a bit longer than expected. |
