Running race 26:20 [5] 6.9 km (3:49 / km) +85m 3:36 / km
slept:9.0
Cochrane Test Loop.
Finally decided on a course. Added a little distance but now there's a little less road running, which I think is more reasonable. It's basically all on rough double-tracked ATV trails, not super technical running but uneven enough to simulate what might be "typical" for orienteering in the forest and trails. Not a whole lot of climb as you can see - more than a road race, but much less than an orienteering race. The 7 km distance is only a very rough approximation - I'll get the bike out and measure it eventually. I hope.
The bonus is that the vast majority will be well-packed even in winter as it includes some of the main snowmobile trails around town.
Today felt OK, I got the pacing about even but had a little stomach trouble towards the end and that cost a little bit of time. It's been an easy week of light training, but I didn't hydrate today (too busy at work and running errands - I clean forgot).
Splits:
road crossing #1 = 5:01
gravel pit (hill bottom) = 10:00
power station = 14:58
road crossing #2 = 21:02
finish = 26:20

For the above.
