| Very good training by Jaroslav in Queen Elizabeth Park, a double-memory-score-O. A few copies of the master map was available at the start area. You had to memorize the location of controls, go find them, then come back and memorize some more. The special thing was that at each control there was a little map snipped with a control marked. You had to also memorize these and draw them onto a blank map at the start area. Thus the _double_ memory part. On the top of this there was also a bonus sticker at each control for the first person to reach that point.
This training really forced you to focus hard all the time. A great way to get something exciting from an overused map. |

Monday Oct 20 |
| Running Smooth 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| Jog around the area around Confederation Park in north Burnaby together with John Rance. Definitely good enough to map for WET, but not sure if it'll do for a setup/chase format for the sprint camp. Maybe, it's on the edge. |

| Warm-up. |
| Orienteering City/Park 45:11 [4] 8.3 km (5:27 / km) | |

| Run the Campus at UBC. Long distance sprint orienteering :) Did well in the Acadia area in the beginning of the course and then the course turned into more running with route choice. Didn't make any mistakes really, at most some slightly sub-optimal routes. Faded in my running after 2/3, stiff legs and a hurting left hip. |
Saturday Oct 18 |
| Running Smooth 39:00 [2] | |
| |
| Slow run in Kits, from Arbutus and out to Jericho and back. The calf is fine now, but there is clearly something in my left hip. Kind of a stinging pain once in a while, that I felt at the WET on Wednesday. Also my muscles in the left hip area got crazy sore after the WET and I can still feel it now. |
Wednesday Oct 15 |
| Orienteering City/Park (wet) 31:00 [3] 4.6 km (6:44 / km) | |
| |
| WET at Byrne Creek. 3 loops with some good route choice. Ran the first two loops to test out my calf. I did not feel anything, so it should be good to go again. Hips felt kind of stiff. Haven't trained much lately so better start up carefully. |
