| Biked as fast I as I could against the wind to make it home. One of my students was competing in the 400m hurtles and I wanted to watch. Ran into the stadium just as they announce over the loud speaker 'Congratulations to Stu Pearson for breaking the record by over a second'. Crap!!! That was my student. At least he kicked ass. |

| We squeezed in a very quick bike ride between my work and La Femme's frisbee game (oh I mean ultimate). Gorgeous day but no one was up in the gats. |

| Did an extreme negative split run today due to chit chat for the first half with Karly and La Femme. Bunkered down on the way back once I'd caught up. |

| National Capital Race weekend. La Femme and I filled in for two of my students that could not make the 5km race. Almost 7000 people in the race so it was pretty slow for the first km until you could get some room. I didn't have much desire to push early on as I was feeling a wee tired from my morning run but I did do a great sprint for the last km. Placed 4/390 in my age group and 26/3819 out of the women. La Femme had a great time of just over 22min. |

| Quick run home after dropping off my car at the shop. Time to get the snow tires off. Although we did get a huge hail storm today during my high school soccer game. |

| Legs were heavy today after the run but it was late enough that I was dying to get home from work for some food. |

| Today's group trail run took us up up up and around the wolf trail. I did a much better job of pushing hard the whole time. Maybe just a bit too hard at the start as I did need to walk up the last rocky hill after the lookout but I recovered nicely on the way down, catching back up to Mr Mo with my killer downhill technique. I was spent at the finish. |

| |
| Not my day out there. Might have been a little hungover from my friend's wedding the night before but I just think I was overwhelmed with the course. Too many cliffs & boulders, and not enough catchment features for an intermediate orienteerer such as me. I was running low on patience and time I ended up cutting out some controls in the middle and going for a little trail run instead to meet up with the last few controls. |

| For the first time I had a head wind on the way to work. I didn't think it got windy at 6am? |
| Biking (road) 55:00 [3]25 km (2:12 / km) | |
| |
| Lovely tail wind on the way home but unfortunately LOTS of little bugs. Huge swarms of them for long stretches so that I needed breath carefully through my nose as to not suck some of them up. The binging off the helmet was pretty funny. |

| First trail run with the Tuesday night crew. 50 or so trail runners winding through the woods. I had a little troubles with my pacing, too fast, too slow, oh wait we're done, crap. I know our route for next week so I should be a bit better. |

| Orienteering 2:10:00 [2] | |
| |
| First orienteering session of the year. The organizer indicated that the long advanced course was quite difficult so I decided to be extremely cautious with my decision making. Don't think it worked out so well since my brother finished 40mins ahead of me. I also found a couple old iron mines that cause my compass to go wacky. I've never seen that before and it completely confused me. |

| Mr Mo and I did our first loop of the gats. Fortune hill didn't get any flatter over the winter as I had hoped. Left from Westboro and did a little extra bit in the middle to pick up Kat. La Femme's bike peddle imploded on the way to Gamlin so she only met up with us for the last bit. |

| Put in 3 hours of intensive shopping after work. It completely drained me. Why people enjoy it is a mystery to me. |

| Took a friend from work and her 3 year old on the orienteering course. We ran at 3 year old pace and then I piggy backed her when she got tired. They had a blast. |
