Caught somebody's cold at bcoc. Fever and sore throat so far. Lots of sleep and little homework the next few days... I've run myself into the ground a bit.

Rushing to school for 9:30 this morning - only to remember I start at 10:30....

Every other morning is 8:00, so this one is harder to remember I guess.

Light jog with Lindsay - starting to feel a little sick during it.

Easy run home.

Putting out a radio control and some drink cups.

Can only run to the same place so many times and call it orienteering - didn't even bother with a map.

Event: BC Orienteering Championships 2018
 

Setting out radio controls for bcoc middle. 50% success rate.... thats a pass for a beta system in my books.

Long control set up part 1. Upper loop, including lugging in 16 litres of water into the bush only to forget to bring the cups.

BCOC long control set up part 2 - until it was very dark in the forest... middle/lower controls

I'm switching primary internet browsers on my laptop from Firefox to Brave (I also have Edge, IE, and chrome installed, but never really used).

In other news, I also switched by taskbar to the left hand edge of the screen. Took a couple of days to get used to it, but I enjoy the extra .8 of an inch or so of vertical screen space.

Drove down to Mission Creek main parking lot to go for a run on the Greenway (figured I might as well use the car while I have it). Ran up the creek first and quickly got onto a chunk of the greenway I had yet to visit. It gets narrower the further up you get - fewer and fewer people and progressively more bear poop. Another 7km or so off the top that I haven't gotten to yet - should be a fun run sometime.

A few issues with my right foot again today. I ran in inov-8 x-talon 212s - this wasn't the right call - the trail was very hard packed and wide - should have gone for more of a road running shoe. Had to stop and stretch it out a couple of times.

Distance is a bit rough - its measured off of google earth approximately.
