Event: Canadian Championships Long
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:06:01 [4] 5.9 km (11:11 / km) +166m 9:49 / km
Long distance at Foley Mountain, Westport, ON. Competed in M45, same course as M55, came 8th (out of 30) and would have been 2nd in M55; 9th on course out of 62.. 5.9km, GPS tells me I ran 6.79km with 166m climb.
Really fun course, and excellent map - northern part of yesterday's map. Terrain was easier to run in, at least until #10. Challenging navigation in part, required staying in close contact with map and compass. Had a good run, treaded cautiously and focused on not making mistakes. Spiked most controls, only significant wobble was #4 where I ended up on the clearing just S of the control and then searched further south, lost 2m. Looking at the splits it seems my route choice to #2 (straight rather than around the road) cost a minute, surprising as the forest was quick to run through. Also lost slightly on #10 (went around the hill as I was tired, which probably cost a bit), and #13, maybe 30-45s in total. So about 3.5 to 4m.
Long leg to #6 was great fun, as were the detailed navigation to 7, 8, and 11. Compliments to the course setter!.
