Event: Canadian Orienteering Championships
 

Rest day. Visited the Trondheim Kunstmuseum in the afternoon rather than run the WOC Tour sprint. Small as art museums go but well worth the visit - particularly the current show of works by Anne-Karin Furunes (the impact of which I suspect unfortunately can't easily, if at all, be conveyed via computer screen).

Active parts of the team's evening visit to the health club.

Lovely WOC tour open race in the Middle Quali terrain but I was kind of slow. And by no means perfect technically but only one bad control and one long leg with more wandering than there should have been so not bad technically.

Ran a course made up of long/middle quali model event controls before spectating at the middle quali. Great run for Louise to qualify 9th; sadly large errors on their first controls for both Sandyto just miss and Patrick to bail out in order to fight another day (tomorrow in the long qualifier).

Event: 27th World Orienteering Championsship
 

WOC sprint qualification men's heat C - a decent but not brilliant race - brilliant would have required at least two better route choices and more smoothness generally. Which would still have had me comfortably out of qualifying position - that would have required brilliance plus added speed. Though I feel as though I must have recovered at least somewhat from the physical trough I was in at NAOCs.

Spinning positively, we're 3 for 5 in matchups against the US. Unfortunately, we're 0 compared to their 2 in the finals. Good for Ali and Sam; too bad about our relatively near misses. Will wasn't that far out of qualifying timewise.

Easy jog around the middle/long final and relay model a few miles west of the sprint qualifier terrain - map called Solamasen or similar. No trouble hitting the controls except for one not quite accurate enough bearing down a slope to a boulder. Will be harder at race speed of course but the forested part of the sprint should be less thick in general, as long as I stay out of the beech sections.

Active parts of a relaxing visit to a gym near the event center that is offering free entry to WOC/WTOC competitors.

Arrival in Trondheim. Nice that accommodations are so close to the central train/bus station. Also less than two blocks from the sprint final arena.

Warmup/cooldown.

SIlly walks. Grass was damp so didn't try any strides or other things with any significant risk of slipping and falling.

Cycling to work.

To work. Home by way of TPSS, laying in more supplies for Dan to eat in my absence.

To work. Home by way of two libraries and a Safeway to lay in supplies for Dan while I'm away.

Round trip to the Freer Gallery to see a Hui brothers comedy, alledegly their best, "The Contract".
