Orienteering 35:00 [3]
Warm up course at Rice Lake whilst Magnus and Thomas put the controls out.
Cool area apart from the millions of fallen trees that I didn't really have the strength to clamber over!

Orienteering 50:00 [4]
Course at Rice Lake complete with mini markers. Aim was to go straight but I took this a bit too far and tried to head down a ridiculously steep bank from 10-11, changed my mind and took the path with 100s of steps option instead.
Good map and planning - thanks to Thomas and everyone else who helped me to get there.

Running race 1:59:29 [5] 25.0 km (4:47 / km) +600m 4:16 / km
I would usually round this up to 2hrs but...
Iron Knee (25k) trail race along the North Shores (Baden Powell trail) of Vancouver - starting at the bottom of Grouse Mountain and finishing in Deep Cove.
Really cool race, well organised and loads of friendly people. Didn't see any bears.
Paced it well I think - almost bonked in the last 5-10 mins but just held it together!
Finished 3rd woman, first 2 were 5 mins ahead and had a sprint finish! Won by Ellie Greenwood!!
Also did maybe a 5 minute warm up and stood in the sea for 10 mins at the end!!

Note
Coolest thing ever happened today - I won the rep comp at Arcteryx which was to make a stuff sack (sew, seam seal, logo etc) and got a Macbook Air for my troubles!!!!!! Makes up for only getting a medal for the race.

Running 2:00:00 [3]
Long (longer than expected!) run back from the car park at the bottom of Grouse mountain to our hotel via the Capilano suspension bridge. Recce'd the first hour or so of the race. Legs sore but I think it loosened them a bit.
Ran with Andy (my boss) and it was his longest run in a long while!

Note
Was the first day of the Arcteryx meeting on the top of Grouse Mountain which was pretty cool.
Andy and I got back from our run just as the coach with all the reps on was leaving for dinner - we got a big cheer...
