Orienteering 30:00 [3] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)
WCOC Sprint
Well, that wasn't what Sprints used to feel like. You know that feeling when you're on a Long course and you feel totally spent and think 'I must be almost done', then you unfold the map and realise you're only 1/3 of the way through.
That's what happened today, except it was after about 1km.
Forest Sprint in Bragg Creek. Nice open woods, tough running for me with the soft, mossy ground and occasional deadfall.
Realised at the start I had my Southern Hemisphere compass, which made staying on line in relatively flat forest very tough, so aimed off a lot to nearby trails, but still a few embarrassing punter errors (a 90 degree error out of the start triangle being the worst).
