9 AM
Walk/Jog warm up/down (to start) 20:00 [2] 1.0 km (20:00 / km)
shoes: Trail NB 704 8.5D
Jogged and walked along the trail along the Madawaska River to start overlooking the dam, picking up a warm-up map and checking out some of the mapping for the sprint.
10 AM
Orienteering race (sprint course 2) 19:53 [5] *** 2.55 km (7:48 / km) +29m 7:23 / km
spiked:13/14c slept:7.0 shoes: Trail NB 704 8.5D
Sprint in downtown Arnprior. SL 2.3 km, 20 m climb
50s to low 60s, breezy
Our course moved out of the residential section fairly quickly, with just two controls in the woods (Gillie's Grove) before heading back to Simpson Park where the arena was.
Passed by eventual F55 winner Jane Rowland (FWOC) going to number 4, the first in the woods; and Marion on the way to 9 after I had bobbled 6 (went beyond, got stopped by the trail, doubled back, losing a minute). Passed Candice on the way to 3 and Nancy somewhere (never saw her after she started a couple minutes ahead of me...maybe she took a different route to 3?). I went to the right of the line around the houses, cut in on the small trail to the parking lot and yellow then around the building and into the tennis court, having read that it was on the inside corner of the fence.
Very nice sprint course with a tricky detailed area near the finish where you really had to pay attention to know which controls were on your own course.
Afterwards we stayed to watch the sprint relay which was super exciting and fun, especially with USA taking both the BK and FC Cups. :-D
