Orienteering race 1:51:40 [3] ***** 6.6 km (16:55 / km) +500m 12:16 / km
spiked:7/13c shoes: Adidas ADZ16

National Capital Orienteering Festival 2008. Long distance event on the very tough la Peche Map. Nail CP 1 but the course setter was quite nasty forcing us t walk through a swamp right off the bat. CP 2 was near by. Long haul to 3. Started on trails, then used large clearing and a series of clearings to nail the control. Through swampy field to CP4. 2 minute error going the wrong way on side hill. Over the hill and back to the trail to hit 5, just off the trail through a clearing. To a clearing and followed a valley to hit 6 and picked up a tail. Used swamp and bearing to get near 7 but missed this bingo control. Wandered around for 10 minutes until I recognized a boulder and used bearing to reach the control. It was at a rock but in dense undergrowth. Saw EL and RL here. At 8, meet up with EL again and found control hidden under rock overhang. EL and I split but meet at 9 again. At 10 made an error and ended nearer 11. Backtracked to 10 hidden well. Back to 11 which was a bit tricky. Sloppy traverse to 12 but found it below the swamp. Run home to 13 and finish.

Found I had trouble running on rough ground but was quite speedy as the footing got better. My stride is trouble on uneven surfaces and need to figure out better technique. Finished 4th today. A lot of people had trouble. Good finish to the weekend and have started to show promise. Need work on running on rugged ground and consistent concentration.
