HPP fundraiser event on Whistler Mountain map. Gondala ride up the mountain to the start (elev about 6000 ft). 1:5000 map in alpine terrain with lots of rock and mostly low vegetation (wore shorts and had no problem). Competition format was predict your time, so no watches allowed on the course (only tapped my wrist once trying to take a split). Seven minutes faster than predicted, so didn't take it as easy as I should have, although I walked quite a bit. Since it was wide open and everyone was doing the same course it was hard not to follow (biggins was ahead of me and he's tough to miss).

COC Sprint on Whistler Village map. Great sprint venue and really fun. Had a very good run with a few small errors, mostly sub-optimal route choices. Tried to be very focused on the navigation. I had a very early start time so there were not a lot of non-orienteers wandering about the Village. Most frustrating time loss was taking about 10 seconds to find the start triangle on the map. Lost time on #9 checking an unmapped boulder across the path from the mapped boulder with the flag on it. Was 5th in M55. Straightline distance 1.9 km.
