orienteering race 17:46 [5] *** 2.2 km (8:05 / km)
11c weight:164lbs shoes: Icebug 2012
Sprint 3 at Sharon Woods set by Cedarcreek. A fun sprint. Interesting to hear how much discussion there was about the need for map updates. I think perhaps we in OCIN have become too used to near perfect maps. Despite the few overgrown paths, changes to shapes of open areas, and a couple changed shelters and playgrounds, the map was quite adequate for the event.

orienteering race 2:08:00 [4]
Long course at Westeen Canadian O Champs on Hog's Back map. What a contrast to yesterday. Very sloppy race with loops, spirals, and random walks (ha ha) at almost every control.
In spite of that, good enough to pull off a second place finish but I was very dis-satisfied at how often I lost contact and how badly I blew bearings and interpretation of contours and vegetation. Granted, the pouring rain did not help matters, and definitely interfered with my vision (wet glasses), but that is no excuse for such a terribly sloppy race.
