Missed the meet today, so went to Beauchamp to do a technical training.
Started with a short 2.5km corridor. Only went off line on one occasion...

Didn't want to do an intense session, so I set a crazy 5.7km 48 control course. Kept good flow, no real mistakes, just some hesitation or stopping a bit short.
Having so many controls allowed me to run slower but still have a technical challenge. Lots of direction changes so I got to work on compass use, especially when exiting controls.
Haven't had much time to comment on the training camp in Toronto, will get around to it soon.
In summary though it was a great weekend! Never done a sprint training camp before and the variety of new and different exercises was a lot fun. Great to run on a map in Sunneybrook park, and all the other parks Toronto has to offer.
The highlight of the weekend for me though was taking the subway right through the heart of the city and ending up on the amazing Islands map.
Definitely motivates me to organize our own training camp, and hopefully see a semi regular schedule of camps in Ontario.
2nd summer solstice meet of the year, my first. Don't think I've run harder in a summer solstice before. Was pushed by Jeff, Stefan and Patrick. Got behind by accidently going to 12 (taken out of course prior to start) (Deja vu from Toronto sprint), but managed to reel them in by the end. Very fun race!
