| Eric and I only had one bike for the both of us to get to Carlton, so we took turns on it and I biked from home to just past Carling while he ran. |

| |
| My turn to run!! |
| running 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| Longish run just around Dows Lake and back with Eric, Robbie, Alex, and Jeff. Not so much fun running through the snow through the Arboretum... but I guess I can't complain since the soft snow means that it's all finally melting!!!!! Yay!!! |
| orienteering 35:00 [3] | |
| |
| Had a bunch of mini races around the campus just from one point to another. Lots of different route choice though I think Eric, Robbie, and Jeff definitely had an advantage since they spend 5 days there a week... hehe it was still a blast and fun to do a little racing before the season starts up. |

| Biking to Brookfield to go see an OJJB concert. Pretty sweet.
Scariest fall of my life though!! Cut through the farm and then went straight down the canal, and I went underneath a bridge and there was this very innocent looking puddle. So I'm going at a pretty good clip, but then as I start going through the puddle, I realize that because it's in the shade, there's a layer of ice underneath the water. Everything after that was slow motion. My bike flew out from underneath me, I went down in the puddle, and my head went back and hit the cement ledge on the side of the path. Thank goodness helmets were invented... cause otherwise that would've been nasty. Only ended up with really wet pants, and a bit of a headache, but coming back, I made sure to walk my bike through the puddle even though this 60 yr old guy was riding his bike through. |

Monday Mar 31 |
| rock climbing 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Fun time at coyote!! Made it up all of the climbs that i attempted, and did most of them just following one colour! Even belaying was super tough on the arms cause there is so much chalk in the air that it makes the rope super duper stiff!! |
| strength 5:00 [5] | |
| |
| Warm-up before fight, and then the 1 minute of intense fighting against the man in the big red suit!!! Sooo much fun!!!! Though I doubt a real fight would actually be that much fun, but I was really having a blast!!! Kicked and punched him like crazy, and then when i got him down on the ground, i kept kicking and punching him even though we were supposed to run away!!! Had me slung over his shoulder once like a sack of potatoes which was interesting..... and then dangling in the air by my leg... quite an experience!!! :P |
Sunday Mar 30 |
| orienteering 2:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| First time out orienteering this year!!!!!! Hooray!!!! Went out to the sportsplex with Robbie, Eric, and Jeff to do some o-tervals!!! The snow was a bit of a challenge but it seemed to be a lot easier to stay on top in the sun, so we tried to stay on the trails and in the clearings. Ran a bunch of loops of 2 or 3 controls in 2 different areas... not only did we have to decide our routes not only by looking at the map, but also trying to figure out which route would be the sunniest!! :P |
