| S2S Day 2. The grunt up the ski hill warmed me up. Rained all day making the trails a slippery mess. Water on Georgian Bay was choppy on the way back and in the opinion of many racers was slightly dangerous...considering a canoe dumped and it took 20min to get help shows the shotty organization of the officials! Otherwise experienced mechanical meltdown on my bike (which continued for 3/25 of the race!) on the trails and another misplaced CP in the 2nd "orienteering" section caused some additional pain in the ass. Overall considering the peeves that i had about the race and mechanical problems, i felt good and was pleased with the performance. Not sure how we ranked but didn't really care...was out to have fun this time around. |

| S2S in Collingwood Day 1. Tough competition out there in the mens divison. Did well on the paddle considering a misplaced CP, and cleaned up the first bike section. The "orienteering" section was a bit ridculous i.e. 3 CPs at far away distances and really stupid placement of them. I was a bit off on one of them (map was shit!) that cost some time but was more pissed off at the length of the section...probably ran about 20km, a little overkill in my opinion for a sprint race. |

| DV mineral springs area. Was only going to run a easy pace (2) but felt awesome. Hammered up the hills really well today. Martin Rd hill and Grants Grunt were no match for me today :) |

| Hardwood Hills with my team. Fun courses in the woods, lots of hard climbs (for me anyway) but felt pretty good concidering the time off over the last month. Intensity 3-5 but overall a 3 with stops and such. But i'm pooched and will feel it tomorrow. |
