Run in Lynn Valley in torrential downpour... the river was absolutely in a rage! The upper trail was basically a continuous stream of ankle deep cold water. We had to get through many overflowing streams that came down the ravine, crossing our trail. One stream crossing had a sign that said "Debris torrent, do not cross during floods!" which we happily ignored... no one was swept down into the river, but our feet got numb from the icy water. Towards the end we were all in a pretty miserable state of wet and frozen limbs.

This will be a run to remember...

Snowshoeing up at Seymour in a rain storm...

Short run before dinner.

Warm-up for training. Ran down the stairs to the beach.

WET at UBC. I lost a bunch of time trying to find a trail from control 1 to 2. After that there was a few kilometers of easy orienteering on streets. My legs felt very tired and stiff. The last part of the course was more fun, with lots of controls and intense navigation.

C • Trail 2

Cool-down. Picking up flags and running back to my car.

Warm-up, cool-down and run in between intervals.

Intervals up the stairs that go up from Lynn Valley, on the Baden Powell up towards Mountain Hwy. These are shorter than the ones out at UBC. I did 7 repeats:
