Event: 2016 Seattle Adventure Running Tournament (9/10 - 9/11)
 

SART! First event was time trial in Gasworks. Smooth navigation for the most part, except #8 where I failed to orient my map correctly. Placed 40th overall

Woodland Park. Remembered a few things from last year, which made me a little more confident. Running speed was slow! Navigation was clean and I was able to plan exit/look up and see where to go before I got the controls.

Carkeek Park. This was such a runners course, I really struggled. Kate and I were pushing each other up the hills (almost literally).

Seattle Pacific University. My most favourite map of the weekend! This map was technical and Patrick set lots of traps. Slow speed (and a little skill) meant I was able to anticipate the traps, check control descriptions, and know whether I needed to be up or down. Kate and I were together most of the race, even with some differences in route choice for the last few controls. Then a misunderstanding (I didn't MEAN to cut her off) meant she made me sprint down the finish chute... she got in front of me and blocked me from punching the control. Obviously the obligatory Canadian hockey training came in handy :)

C • AHAH SORRY! 3

Worst run ever. From work to home. Heavy backpack, tight calves... saving grace was the 6x set of stairs I did mid-way. Doesn't really build confidence for this weekend.

Three Blind Mice trail system. Fun, smooth single track. Warm out!

Just outside Kelowna with Pascal. Trails were nice going up, but super rocky on the way down. Pascal got 2 flats...
