Orienteering race 1:01:00 [4] 4.3 km (14:11 / km)
The COC Classic day 2 wasn't that bad either. Despite starting out slow, I again messed up the first control. Around that control, the woods had small clearings all over the place and since I don't have much experience orienteering, I'm not a good judge of distance yet. As a result, I thought I was further away from the start than I actually was and I started looking for the control too early. Besides that one, though, there were no further major mistakes. I again had some trouble judging distance when going from 9 to 10 and I made other small mistakes all throughout, but all in all, navigation is consistently improving. My time of 1:01:00 was second in my age group.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 1.8 km (11:07 / km)
Jogging/Walking to the start.

Orienteering race 59:35 [3] 4.3 km (13:51 / km)
The COC Classic day 1 went better than the Short Race day. I figured that since the short had taken me about an hour, the Classic would take me two. But I ended up finishing in 59:35, which I thought was quite good for me. I started out very slowly so that I wouldn't repeat yesterday's mistake of screwing up the first control by fifteen minutes. I had some trouble finding the second control, but had a decent run overall. I was third in my age group this time (out of five).
Running warm up/down 30:00 [1]
Jogged/Walked to the start following a very muddy road.

Orienteering race 1:06:10 [3] 2.4 km (27:34 / km)
Did the Short Distance at the Canadian Orienteering Championships. I started out too fast and screwed up the first control pretty badly. But besides that there were only two other controls that gave me problems. The rest I found relatively easily. My time of 1:06:10 was fifth and last place in my age group.
Orienteering race 19:00 [4] 2.35 km (8:05 / km)
Did a sprint at Boitanio Park in Williams Lake. I mispunched one of the controls because the control numbers and circles were very crowded on the map and I accidently went to the same control twice. It was raining and quite slippery in the park, but there was good visibility and it was a fun course.

Running 42:00 [5]
Went for a run along the west side highway. It was extremely humid today and although I slowed down till I was barely moving, I still felt unbearably hot and dehydrated. I am never going running in the afternoon again.
Strength Training 20:00 [4]
After packing for Canada, I had some time to kill so I decided to get some exercise.
