Note

25 Days of SARTember, Days 11 / 12 / 13

Location: Savona, BC

As Canada's internets don't get along with my phone or computer, we observed a sabbatical for the weekend.
10 AM

Orienteering race 1:06:07 [4] *** 8.3 km (7:58 / km) +240m 6:58 / km
17c

BC Champs, Day 2. In the immortal words of Troy Aikman, "as good as they were in the first quarter, that's how as bad as it is now." Lost several minutes @ 2; only found it after running into a control from Saturday and remembering where it was on the map. Then much more time lost on 3-4-5 through the open meadow area. For some reason I couldn't figure out that damn meadow to save my life. Got better after than until a parallel error on the penultimate control cost me another couple minutes. I ended up fourth on the day after Adam, Graeme, and a Danish guy; Adam in particular had a great run and came within 2:00 of making up the entire deficit.

Results

So I get to add BC champ to Western States champ on my list of obscure, esoteric orienteering accomplishments, yet having a bad run on Sunday cancelled out most and/or all of the confidence-building of Saturday.

9/18 September races done:
4 above average
3 average
2 below
