 | Gym (Treadmill) 29:48 [4]4.83 km (6:10 / km) | |
| |
| 6:15 - rolling hills program - 3%-10% grade. Why is it that even though the treadmill can go to negative 5% grade, that a 'rolling' hills workout only goes uphill?? |

| 10am - cooler, slightly overcast. More of the same - lots of bike trails, vegetation and new rock. Found what I believe to be J-J's missing boulder.
0.36 sq km (3.30) |

| 9:00am - overcast, much cooler. Filled in some gaps on west side of board #3, worked across top and down trail on east side. Then across bottom and out of woods for lunch. |
| Other (mapping) 1:26:00 [1] | |
| |
| 1:30pm - back in the woods after lunch. About 2.5 hours needed to finish hole in center of board. Unfortunately showers moved in forcing me out of the woods. Will need 45-60 minutes to finish this board.
0.69 sq km for both sessions today. (2.94) |
| Orienteering - Event (short fartlek) 7:56 [5]2 km (3:58 / km) | |
| |
| When it started to rain, I opted to run hard back to car - not because of the rain, but for the little bit of training it would allow me. Rather than run trail the whole way back, I ran about 50% trail and 50% through the bush enroute to the car. Lots of little hills but since I just mapped it, I pretty much knew the straight line - plus my map board at 1:7500 was pretty easy reading... |

| 1:00pm - very hot again - working in the southeast corner of the map. Mikell said I would not be terribly impressed by the last couple hundred meters down there. I thought he meant it was boring terrain. In actuality it doesn't appear to have been extensively field checked. A lot of subtle, rocky reentrants on a slope that on the original map is quite bland. I am presuming Mikell ran out of time and did not spend much time down there. The large green marsh is pretty much large open water with few dead trees now - most definitely uncrossable.
0.20 sq km (2.25) |

| Finished mapping the very sw corner of the park. Once again, quite a bit of new rock added to the map. Hot in the woods today, supposed to be worse tomorrow. Lucky I'm starting a new board tomorrow - I know a nice large area of hemlock forest so I can stay a little cooler..
0.31 sq km today (1.75) |

| Orienteering - Event (Wolf Den Green) 47:41 [4]5 km (9:32 / km) | |
| |
| 12:30pm - honestly didn't look at course length - I am guessing about 5km.. Perhaps will enter splits later. Good run overall except blew #7 in a big way. Got overconfident and run just below the control and got well beyond because I wasn't paying attention. Time does not include copy time (~2:00) |

| 10am - continue mapping just south of quarry area. Cleaned up yesterday's problem area nicely. The contour knolls were too close too the marsh. A good day in the woods.
0.56 sq km field checked today (1.64 to date) |
Friday Apr 12 |
| Other (Mapping) 2:08:00 [1]3.5 km (36:34 / km) | |
| |
| 1:40pm - working north along the east side of the power lines. A lot of substantial unmapped rock, a few bike trails, one area sw of marsh where contours did not make any sense. Will retry that area from a different angle to see if it looks better tomorrow. Definitely a slower day in the woods.. Jogged to/from mapping area thus the 3.5km.
0.14 sq km |
