| Sprint at Wildwood Park, new map by Darius. Didn't do well -- sprints generally don't seem to be going well for me this year -- made over 2:00 in mistakes and was too slow in the last half. Added some extra distance by running around the west side of the rink leaving #1; didn't see #2 at first and looked around confused before spotting it; took the wrong path to #4, the one leading SE out of #3; and wandered around in the green for over a minute before spotting #9. |

| Park event at Whittier Park. Good run, only made several ~0:05 bobbles, but those can add up... I should have read the map more to prevent some of the bobbles, and reduce the potential for a bigger mistake. |

| (sick) shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D old |
| Middle at Yellow Quill. Nice course by Darius. Still a bit sick -- sore throat had gone away on Thursday, then was replaced by stuffed up nose and ears. Took it easy because I wanted to be able to set up more controls at Glen Valley afterwards; likely would have tried to run fast otherwise. Navigation was good (or perhaps I should downgrade that to "okay" since I was going slow), only made a couple small mistakes and hesitations, about 1.5 min total. |
| Orienteering 1:40:00 [1] 10 km (10:00 / km) | |

| Control setup at Glen Valley before the Yellow Quill race (my "warm up"), picking up controls after the race, and setting up more at Glen Valley. Total time out there was just under 3 hours. |

| Around the park. Was a bit sick earlier in the week, still not feeling 100%. It wasn't bad enough to prevent training, but I'm not concerned about having taken a few days off. |

| Team Trials Long, Riviere la Peche map, Gatineau Park. Time is to #11 -- I quit between 11 and 12. Did bad, lost motivation and was just wandering at that point. Probably should have tried to perk up a bit and finish the course. |

| Canadian Team Trials Middle, Sedbergh School map just north of Montebello, Quebec. Made huge mistakes on #4 and #5, losing just over 15 min total there, which kind of wrecked my run. The rest was pretty clean so at least there was a good bit of positive as well, although there'd be more had my routes involved fewer trails. |

| shoes: Saucony Grid Excursion TR 2 |
| Sprint at The Forks, remapped to sprint standards by MrPither. Made a couple bad route choices which cost me about 1:00 total. Didn't realize that going under the railway tracks and up to the Main St bridge was an option on #6, and went back to the footbridge instead. Went around to the south on #13, fogretting that gray = passable. Need to have a better look too see which routes are valid or not. |

| Along the triathlon route in the park. 1.25 km splits were 4:31, 4:41, 4:52, 4:45. Was hoping to at least be in the lower 18s, so I'm not too happy with my time. Should probably do more intervals. |

|
| Orienteering 36:39 [4] 5.7 km (6:26 / km) | |
| shoes: Adidas Swoop 2 |
| At Hartney. Did pretty well. Attacked the controls cleanly but my rough navigation wasn't so good in places. Drifted off too far west on #3 but recovered well. I relied too much on the small and indistinct trails near #4. This caused some hesitation on #4 and 200 m extra trail running on #5 because I ended up on the wrong trail coming out of #4, going south instead of southeast. |
