Exploring the forests around Parkhurst Ghost Town, across the Hwy from the One Duck Lake map. OMG absolute dream terrain up on the ridge. Hilly, but still much gentler than One Duck. All open rock covered by soft moss, lots of detail and almost no deadfall. Then the ghost town is small but very special with dozens of ruins and a few abandoned vehicles and several trails. Light-greenish subtle terrain around the old townsite and down towards Green Lake, creating a very different style of navigation to the ridge. Huge parking by the railroad "turnaround". No arena though, so would have to be in the forest again.

If we had found this earlier, probably would have started with this one before One Duck...

WET in Lynn Valley. 45 min score-O. Started up around Rice Lake with Nate and Ian S. I was chasing them the first 17 min, but then there was some confusion getting through the woods to an off-trail control and I got ahead. Ran alone the next 15 min. Made a route-choice mistake around the water filtration plant that probably cost a minute at least. Last bit got together with Andrey P. Suddenly got really dark at the end.

Calves are not happy at the moment...

Warm-up.

Intervals at Handsworth with Nate and Ramsey. 10x400m. Ramsey was doing his 10km pace, so that was perfect pacing for my intervals. Calves were not happy the last 2 intervals.
