Orienteering race 1:09:05 [4] *** 6.7 km (10:19 / km)
11c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280
COC Long on W20
Wasn't feeling that super before I started today. Terrible sleep and probably not enough water made for a bad headache and a not happy stomach. Took a while to get going but soon enough I was pumped with adrenaline and felt fine. Now my headache is back so I gotta chug some H2O.
I did pretty well on this course but with two noticeable mistakes. On 2 I was too far to the left and relocated to a big valley to go back into the CP circle. Then on the long leg I stopped to drink water and plan but then had a mega compass fail cutting to another trail. After that I just opted for the long trail route all the way around. The rest of the course was solid with smart tempo changes and good routes.
Not sure if I was the only one who noticed this but the map scale seemed very strange today. We had a 1:10 which it definitely looked like, but running out there seemed to take a very long time... A 1:15 kinda long time...

Not very motivated to start this morning but I ended up trucking my way through all 3 loops! A fun terrain with lots of ski trails and enjoyable woods.
Took the last loop super slow to save energy for the COC long tomorrow!

18c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
A great, solid race at UPEI! I felt decent physically and my nav was really good. Really read ahead and planned my routes, especially on the last few legs into the arena. I was really focused the whole time, even when I kept seeing Tori out there. I also knew that I was focused because I even forgot about some CPs when I looked at my map again after the run. I was always a step ahead and didn't spend much time on some CPs when I knew where it was going to be so it felt like I was never really there. Made a small route choice error on 11, going south around a building where north was probably better.
Really happy with this race and exciting to have made the WOC 2016 team! :)

Went well in the technical area.

Hoooooolyyyyy hotness batman!! I literally could not even.
Took things slow because I didn't want to kill myself out there.
The technical area went better than yesterday so I was glad that I met that goal.

COC Middle at Hillsborough - W20
This course was fairly good, especially the beginning. I had some pretty good flow and was able to run pretty fast. Made a small mistake on 4 but relocated quickly. Then I had a special moment where I though that 16 came after 9 so I payed a quick visit to 16 before 10 and then missed 10 by a bit. (Faile) I then got off my bearing by a bit on 17 and had to relocate off a trail.
I felt OK during this race, tired from the heat obviously but still good.
