Elk in the forest, elk for supper

We both saw the same big gray elk in the forest yesterday. It watched us as we made our way past. Then Karl phoned and said he'd bring us some meat for supper. At some stage he aquired half an elk, putting 76kg of elk meat in his freezer. He brought us some elk mince, so we had some spaghetti elk-bolognoise for supper. It was good to have some meat that isn't a vienna or meatball!This morning we crossed yesterday's map and hit this 1:15'000 map. It took 25 minutes to get to the start. We spent 1h40 out there, and then jogged home again. It turned into an epic morning and we're knackered. We weren't expecting it to be so tough, and it isn't ideal at this stage just 4 days before the sprint. Anyway, we had a bit of practice with long legs.This is a picture of our cottage. The juniors from last year may think this picture looks familiar...

We're about to meet up with Peter and we're going to move into the JWOC accommodation. We're not expecting much: the classes are A, B, C on the entry form. Somehow we ended up in D....
