| Since the winter is so persistent, I decided to do some winter sports. That was clearly a great idea! Just wonderful conditions. Cold, new snow, great tracks and finally sun! Everything was open, even the trail down the old abandoned ski hill. That bit has never been open during the years I've been here.
Forgot how brutal the climb back up from the old ski hill is. Legs tired from yesterday's long run. Kept a slow pace throughout, but there is just so much climb at Hollyburn and I felt like I was working pretty hard most of the time. |

| Intervals Hills 11:00 [5] 1.75 km (6:17 / km) +225m 3:50 / km | |

| Hill intervals on trail, south of Deer Lake, in the forest. Felt really hard, both physically and mentally. Had to fight in my mind to keep going. |
| Orienteering City/Park (wet) 39:50 [3] 7.8 km (5:06 / km) | |
| |
| WET at Deer Lake. Was a combination of memory-O and score-O. Three locations with a map showing the controls. Had to memorize these locations, run to them and then do a mini memory-score-O around each spot. I did pretty poorly. Partly because I slightly misunderstood the setup. Thought that each map would only show the controls for that mini score-O, but in fact all maps showed all controls, so it was possible to cut the distance by memorizing controls for the next location. I didn't get that part and ended up doing some extra running... good exercise! |
