Hiked in to finish re-marking the snowshoe trail in the dumping rain. It'll need some pruning.

I mounted the rear 3” studded tire and went for a scoot around Palgrave, since there’s still not quite enough to ski.
Palgrave West is riding well as the fatties have packed the singletrack. Harder work on our trails, and I bailed half way through the Covid Crusher.

XC Skiing 30:00 [1]
Woo-hoo, first ski out the door! Took the dogs, so it was pretty slow.
My glide gel wore off after only 20 minutes and it was bricking up, but a ski is still a ski.
AD met a coyote- or at least headed off to say Hi until I called him to stop. The big guy was interested but didn’t chase.

Orienteering race 3:02:40 [4] 23.59 km (7:45 / km) +595m 6:53 / km
ahr:118 max:146
RTH with STORM and Chris Piller. (Gally is recovering from a nasty bout with Covid.) I was worried about keeping up with these 2 gazelles, but they kindly gave me the shorter matrix legs. After hammering for about an hour at the back I did OK once I warmed up. They were still stronger on the climbs but I had decent legs for the rail trail and descent sections. One very steep climb had me walking it off for a bit after- the boys were patient.
We leapfrogged Eddie/Weersink, then caught Attack from Above and MBR on the road section. The top 2 teams were still at the PYP relay CP, but we were the last of the 6 out. We ended up leapfrogging MBR as they kept finding easier route choices, but passed them on the road/trail run to the finish.
Bob/Scott/Shannon’s team won in about 2:41, Eddie’s team won Male and we won Masters. We were also behind Harper/Jack/Nicole and AFA.
Great run with these fast, super-nice teammates, although we were sorry to lose Gally.

Hiking 2:00:00 [1]
Caving- hike up Grotto to the entrance, then a few hours scrambling and squirming around underground with Bash, my Nephew Leo the bar-mitzvah boy, niece Talia and my sister Mimi and her husband Frank.
Leo was a bit worried on the rappel, but manned up and was diving down the smallest squeezes right after. I had to perform an extraction when someone got jammed about 3M down the Laundry Chute, but nobody panicked and all went well.
More (and better) pics on Bash’s log.

Swimming 15:00 [3]
(1.5 hr) Swam with my Niece Talia and her Mom and Aunt, all of whom are superb swimmers, in the outdoor heated pool in snowy Calgary. My Nephew Leo is from the non-torpedo side of the family, but had fun too. I may have sore shoulders tomorrow from launching Talia airborne into gymnastic back flips. Apparently I’m swimming better than last time we were here pre-pandemic. Let’s hope roofless outdoor pools are good aerosol dispersers.
