O - competition race (Canadian Champs Long) 1:04:58 [5] **** 5.52 km (11:46 / km)
Hidden Lakes. Technical terrain but route crossed trails several times and made nav much easier. Even so, tricky with kettles and depressions. Took a long trail run and missed noting a trail junction, which left me confused but ultimately in the right spot.
A few nav hesitations early on and bad route choice to 8 which cost me a minute. Pushed hard on the trail runs we had and muscled thru the brush. Felt good the whole time. Today ended up 8th out of 45.
