Orienteering race 1:49:43 **** 5.1 km (21:31 / km) +100m 19:36 / km
spiked:11/17c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)
COC Long Champs on Carp Ridge Ecowellness Centre and the "Barrens" map. Interesting and challenging map with lots of bare rock clearings and many ponds and marshes making route choice critical to avoid dead-ends. The kind of map that makes you exclaim out loud when you flip it over at the start. For those who weren't there, be sure to check it out on Route Gadget when it's up.
Did fine with route planning, but was generally terrible with execution. Lost about 38 minutes total with 28 minutes of it on one leg when I made a massive parallel error. Still finished mid-pack but about 35 minutes behind the winner (Gord Hunter). Oh, well. At least it didn't rain (much). Forerunner measured 9.9km (for a 5.1 km course).
