Thinking about Canada
When I was running today, I looked at the ground, saw the maple leaf and thought, "I'd better start thinking about the race in Canada in a couple of weeks." The race is the North American Champs in Ontario. We get three races: sprint, middle and long.
When I got home from my run, I took a look at a map of the limestone pavement terrain we'll be running in (the map below shows Peter's routes on a map that is next to the area we'll be running in).
I also watched a video of Mike Waddington talking about the terrain (among other things). The quality of the video is not good. That's what you get when you rely on a little camera's microphone and mis-set the white balance. Even with the low quality, you can get a few good ideas about orienteering in the limestone pavement.
In addition to the maple leaf, I came across something a bit unusual in the forest today.
