Orienteering 20:17 [3]
NAOC sprint at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook. The stadium for this event was great! Both the start and finish were on a rubber track and all of the spectators sat in bleachers watching. It was a lot of fun to cheer all of our friends on! Right from the start of the course, I could feel that there was very little left in my legs. I had troubles pushing up the small hill to the first control. My race was pretty clean with some seconds lost to hesitation and 1 bad and another slightly dubious route choice. Despite having to walk a few times on the hills, I didn't see anyone else on my course until the very end when Andrea, who started 3 minutes behind me, almost caught up to me (which I had been expecting to happen much sooner). I sprinted the finish chute as hard as I could to keep from being caught (Thanks Andrea!). I was pleased with my race given my current shape.
