Orienteering 52:00 [3]
Qualifying sprint #1
25:04
Had a good run, no mistake, just a couple of slower route choices.
Sprint #2
27:something
Had trouble with the mass start as couldn't concentrate with the more technical terrain and with all those people around and with VERY tired legs. Was doing OK though, until I completely missed one of the butterfly loops and MP'd.

Orienteering 2:15:00 [5]
5 orienteering events today:
#1 Downtown Vancouver O-tervals. Lots of fun running around the city with underpasses, steps, and even a control at the countown clock for the olympics. Ran well...good start.
#2 Mass start sprint in Lost Lagoon, Stanley Park. Got totally confused off the start with the unexpected last minute fork, but ran well and nearly caught Carol.
#3 Concentration exercise to practice getting into map and hitting first control. An excellent exercise, especially for testing out route options against other people.
#4 Granville Island Sprint Race - had a stellar race except for big goof-up to control 10, but I think just about everyone did the same thing. Was running quickly despite tired legs.
#5 Dog-bones. Ran well again and felt good to finish with some good strides.
Time approx as I didn't keep track.

Running 1:10:00 [3]
Run around Pacific Spirit Park in the dark (and cold) with the Louise, Pat, Oystein and John. Great to run off the plane legs and jetlag.

Walked all over Hong Kong dragging my heavy cabin baggage, which definitely warranted an AP log because that city is flipp'n mountainous!!

Nice post-rogaine cruise with MTBjen, Will and Tooms to loosen up legs before flying to other side of world.

Note
Just calculated the distance ran in saturday's rogaine.......56km!!! Considering the winners only did 6 km more but got 1100 more points suggests that our route was definitely suboptimal. Well, it least it was good physical training.
Swimming 20:00 [1]
Very cruisy short swim just to refresh myself on a hot day in Narrogin.
Crossfit/Gym/Weights/Core 20:00 [1]
