Event: Canadian Orienteering Championships
 

WCOC Middle in Whitehorse. Started an hour early so I could do the race announcing. It was really cool to run a championship course completely alone in the woods. First half of the course was intricate navigation small hills and depressions, should be my cup of tea, but I lost focus around control 4 and 5, losing probably 1:30 or so. No big mistakes for the rest of the way, but not fit enough on the very physical last loop. 7th place, almost 4 min behind Patrick G. Robbie and Eric K were not far behind Patrick, and those three were well ahead. I had about 1:30 up to 4th. I have to race myself into shape if I'm going to have any chance of a medal at the COC races!

WCOC Middle Course 10 - Splits

Fun little WET at the Olympic Village, two loops and some butterfly forking. Missed the mass start, so took the first loop as a warm-up and then tried to push race pace on the second loop. Went well in the beginning, but then some missing flags disrupted the flow.

No warm-up or cool-down today, not so good.

Quick run behind the house. Checking out some trails I have not been on before, lower down below BP and closer to the residential. Some pockets of nice woods here and there. BP back home.

Pretty tough hike with Andrea and Otik, from Cypress Bowl to the Lions. Snow basically the whole way. Bizarre amounts of snow up on the ridge, over 3 meters in some places. Hot and sunny. Total time was 7 hours 30 min, logging 3.
