Event: GVOC WJR - Spring Series #3 - Mt Sumas
 

Event: CascadeOC Ultimate Orienteer #9: Goat
 

I have been exhausted by the past couple weeks; working two jobs before adding in orienteering work and being away for fun if tiring adventures. The past couple weeks have had an additional emotion strain as the family supported each other through the final weeks of my aunt's amazing life.

I took today off the WJR to sleep, hang out with my family, tidy, pack, work on o-stuff, and play with my bunnies. Remember:

Comp-Intro O-Course @ UBC

Casual kayak from Jericho around to the point of UBC and back with the wonderful Alex! It was exactly the kind of relaxing exploratory mini-adventure I needed to process the past week. For a bit, we just chilled in the kayaks looking out at the world - silence & contentment.

Plus we made plans for future kayaking adventures :D

Carpentry day two = much more competent! Was a really great day outside with Max which served me well upon hearing about the passing of a relative and then having to go to work immediately afterwards.

Carpentry work outside all day before work! Helping expand the bunny barn at my parents and learning lots of hands on trade skills from Max :D

GVOC Exec Meeting - very productive! Thanks Team :D

Played for the Peter Carrothers Experience! This gent used to be my friend-nemesis for our constantly opposing viewpoints. Today we amicably do not get on (but wisely know better which topics to avoid) but Peter would have my back no matter what :D It was fun to play something outside the usual!

I hit the ball every time I was up to bat and even made it all the way around and home! Success haha

Ulty game 1 (lost) - nice friendly game

Ulty game 2 - the other team was full of jerks and it negatively affected my enthusiasm for playing. I played harder than I played in the other game to try and best them but my heart was quite sad.

Apparently, the GPS didn't record distance despite saying OK and showing my track on the website.... weird
