Thanks Francis for putting up with me. My foot feels 100% today. Weird.

C • Great to hear the foot is O... 1

Run with Celeste along the canal to Carleton and back. Feeling pretty sleepy and slow. I think I'm coming down with something. Serves me right to not sleep on the plane. There were too many good movies to watch!

Heavy circuit training day today in Cannes.
Pool-deck chair-fridge and repeat.
Over 30 degrees even in the mountains.

Much better. Mostly trail running today...if you could find the correct trail.
Dad won the family competition again, by 1 minute 6 seconds. I thought I had him... Mom had a good birthday run but got mixed up on the first control. Was a good race.

Nothing like getting completely lost in the middle of the woods in a foreign country.
Most difficult terrain I've competed in. Course was simple enough but once I went off my bearing it was nearly impossible to relocate again.
Didn't twist an ankle or fall into a mini crevasse so I suppose I did well enough.

Run with Mom and Lynda. Followed the river to Bank street then back home. Super humid day.

Super fun orienteering course set up by Francis on his new park map. Part 1: Find and collect 2 playing cards and 2 strands of flagging ribbon. The cards will make up 2/5 of your poker hand.
This should have been fairly straightforward, however, I got unlucky with my route choice and spent 10 minutes looking for my second ribbon. Grrr.
Part 2: Hide 4 playing cards, along with a strand of ribbon at pre-determined areas. I hid my cards well and was lucky to not have had to run very far in order to hide them.
Part 3: Find 3 more cards and ribbon strands set out by other players. This was a little trickier. I had been running for half an hour and only had 15 minutes left. After finding 2 cards and 3 ribbons, (dropping and nearly losing them all, running through stinging nettle and illegally crossing the transitway 4 times- oops) I made it back and got a freebie card from Steve to complete my hand. Needless to say I didn't win at Poker.
This session was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it! Thanks Francis!

March Highlands with Rob.
Was eaten alive by mosquitoes. Nice trail running.
