Orienteering 2:40:00 [2] 11.0 km (14:33 / km)
shoes: Leona Divide

Orienteering in the Ganaraska Forest. This was a very challenging race. The weather was amazing. A perfect autumn day. I made a mess of many of the controls in the first half, especially CP 1 and 5. It was nice to run alone for most of the race.

Running 53:00 [2] 9.0 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Leona Divide

While Laura was off at a conference at U of O, I headed out to Gatineau Park. It rained lightly all morning, and was foggy well into the afternoon, which meant I couldn't enjoy any of the scenic lookouts. The running was fantastic, though. This entry was my first run of the day, which started from P7.

Running 35:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:50 / km)
shoes: Leona Divide

Parked at the end of a dead end road (swamp rd.?), and ran a loop that included some small lakes and a nice waterfall. I ended the run at Mackenzie King's estate. I wandered around the grounds. The ruins were quite interesting.

Running 34:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:40 / km)
shoes: Leona Divide

I had planned on buying lunch, but the local restaurants were expensive. Skipped lunch and had one last run. Ran harder. I'm not used to hills like these. Just a guess at distances. I may have overestimated. It is hard to judge distance with so much climb.

Defended today. Phewff. It went well.

The train ride into Toronto was wonderful.

Same run as last week. North along the speed river on the rough trails. Not much time to run this week, so I ran this faster than usual.

Cycling 2:25:00 [2] 65.0 km (2:14 / km)

To/from Hilton falls. I got a flat on the way home. I've never taken longer changing a flat. The hubs on both my wheels need work. The front is loose and the rear is grinding a bit.

C • Wow! Biking to Orienteering! 1

Orienteering 1:30:00 [2]

GHO NAOC training at Hilton Falls. Botched control 8. I had to bail out to a trail to relocate. The last four controls on the new map went quite well.

My map of Guelph shows a trail heading west along the river out to a bird sanctuary. Paul and I tried to find it, but gave up. Instead we headed east along the eramosa river and found a really cool trail that took us out past Victoria. From there we headed south into the arboretum before heading home.

C • Nice trail... 3
