Gym 5:00 [3]
3x 1 min full plank
3x 20 squats
3x 10 push ups
Rest day. Legs needed a break. Will try to get out when we're in Vanderhoof, but it can be hard.
Nice bruises on left knee and right leg from yesterday's fall.
New years resolution - 4+, hours of training per week. Need to find some good trail races to train for, preferably ones close by in areas with good views! I like the look of that new one in Squamish, but it's the same weekend as COCs... Any suggestions? I'm looking around 20km, sometime in late summer/fall.

Cycled to work. Ouch!

Oaf, then weeeeee!
6 PM
Orienteering 33:50 [3]
Control picking at Queens Park. Fun course. Started out pretty slow, but was reading ahead and had good flow. Had a couple of bobbles in the playground section when the legs were short. Felt really good about my orienteering tonight!
Rookie mistake - stepped on a slick, wet log and fell over. Bruised knee and cut on my leg. Idiot!
Christmas party afterwards with lots of good food and drink company. Thanks to Karen, John, and Meghan for hosting!

cycling 23:36 [3]
Biked to work. Edit: Pushed hard on the hills; no walking involved!
1 PM
Running 25:25 [3]
Lunch time run. Feel like I don't have a lot of oomph in the legs. Not sure whether it's because I'm training more now and have tired legs, or if I've put on a bunch of Christmas fat and need to lose it, or whether I'm just lazy...
4 PM
cycling 5:00 [3]
Token for the hill and cycling out of the campus. I don't think cycling down hill with a tail wind shouting "weeeee" doesn't count as training!

Running 35:28 [3]
Lunch time run. Down NW Marine Dr, along Admirality, up West Canyon, and back via the village to HA. Never been along those trails before, so it was fun to try somewhere new. Lots of mud! Legs felt tired today, and my calves are still aching from skiing.
cycling 20:00 [3]
Cycled from home to Orams. Thought my quads would get off on the 16th hill, but I was distracted by some running group doing exercises up the hill!

Orienteering 45:00 [3]
Skinkaloppet from Louise's to Camosun Bog. Wasn't looking promising, as I forgot my sports bra, and brought 2 right shoes! Luckily I have wonderful friends who have extra clothes/shoes. Ran the whole thing with Meg. Some nice sections of forest I've not been in before. Someone paved one of the trails... I think I need to have a word with Aaron on that. Ended up retaining my Skinkaloppet crown, around 5 minutes from my guess. Guess this means I'm organising next year!
