Ottawa O-Fest Middle. 5th in m35. Felt strong and was swift across the rocky trails or wooded terrain. Navigation was pretty good (found controls easily, ran out of the right away). A few overshot or off to the side but read the terrain and corrected most pretty quickly). Then on the longest leg
made a wrong turn onto a twisty side loop and then later had trouble finding the contol; all of that was a 10 minute mistake costing me 3rd place.

Splits
(Will map string my actual distance later)

Ottawa O-Fest Sprint. 4th when I was 1st right near the end, lol. I think I ran pretty solidly... just flew around the course and knew my exit heading into all controls. Had best/top splits on most. A couple less than ideal routes when I didn't realize the control was on a different level. Very few pauses and reasonably focused... that was until the last few controls where two subsequent errors cost me my 30ish lead and bumped me 30sec back from the leader in 4th....ugh. Big lesson... buy an arm band for the control descriptions. Done :-)
7 PM
Note
Nice post race dinner with Nick, Val and/at Mike and Laura's. Mike playing strong for the win in the Settlers bought! :-)
