NAOC Sprint. A fun but rather straight forward sprint. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I was in shape and faster (and the knee wasn't so sore before hand). It is easier to navigate since I'm not moving as quickly
i used to. I lost a bit of time trying to bash through some green but otherwise another race with no mistakes. Strong running by MrP and Falcon.

First time (I think) running 4 days in a row since WOC 2006 and I feel rather good and possibly a bit more motivated to train a little more.. only 7 weeks to the Canadian Champs. ;-)

Overall I enjoyed the weekend of orienteering. Fun terrain and great weather for running.

Sprint - Course 8 - Splits

NAOC Long (Masters). I really enjoyed this race (aka Louise's course). 9.5K was a good distance. Made a little bit of hesitation here and there but otherwise a perfect race which is a good feeling. Liked the variety of short and technical legs and long and bland legs that the terrain offered. Wasn't expecting to be able to run but I think I won the first split so I guess I was ready to go. Felt OK part way through and so on the way to #8 tried to push a little harder and aim for 70 minutes to hopefully be fast enough to beat the elite women. But alas the ladies (Louise, Ali and Sam) are all World Class runners....great runs for them.

Mike Smith with his 2nd* NorAm title (* would/should be tied with me with three if it were not for some dumb ass rule).

Louise with back to back well deserved wins.

Long - Course 9 - Splits

Event: North American Orienteering Championships
 

NAOC Middle. Great terrain and good map and course despite the 100m climb on one leg. Lost lots on that leg since I walked lots of it. Lots of fun and a
good arena atmosphere. Wore Trav's knee brace and it helped a lot.

AG! with a convincing win !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Middle - Course 10 - Splits

NAOC model event with AG! Followed
by the first 'THOMASS' race in BC.

Nice terrain for NAOC. Took a while to get a feel for the rock features but then i think figured it out. Hilly... Not fit enough for this. It's
gonna hurt.

the Thomass format held up well with 250'ish participants. Oh how THOMASS has grown up the last 16 years.

Fell on
my bad knee and it is still swolen. Oops. But it was fun to run (and walk).

Adventure Girl! Was 5th place (out of 250) and top non Norwegian.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
