late in the eve , after 13hr at work today

Event: ONB COC2015: Long Distance, Wentworth Ski Hill, NS
 

warm -up . up,up hill - looking a bit at the model up. hilly

i don't like rogaines.. or maps suitable for rogaines. felt ok physically once race started, missed on the way to 3 - not getting too much of understanding of the terrain . found 4 after couple of min mist. then more search, found 3. still in the game..moved well till near 7- when either i can't read very well on a 1:15k( or i had a bad dream ), or things didn't make perfect sense for me- lost 7 min or so, add 3-4 more.. still felt ok- not tired, but with another 6-7 min near 10.. and maybe someone can explain to me while many portion of the map looked white and feature less, but i could not agree with that. lost another 10-15 min looking for 11 ( found 12 first ).. and then i realized that its not fun, do not know what time it is and i have a flight to catch..probably soon. jogged to the finish, changed and drove to Moncton- totally puzzled how come not many folks( if any) had an - at least ok race.. funny thing - after like 6-7 min of errors was still on second place at #6.. enough with trying to justify why i quit a race ( probably first time) .. had overall a very nice vacation in NB,NS and PEI..and happy to orienteer in 2 new provinces ) and glad that i decide to skip the rest of the race, and catch the flight

had enough energy to put a good pace after dropping my rental car, and make it to the airport- just in time

Long C10 - Splits

model terrain..cause mapping style supposed to be different. kind of adventure there in the wild..w/Val..after driving around the morning in PEI for more sightseeeing

COC Sprint. Didn't make it to 5th gear today. Nice to add another province to my total count. And... that's all. Won the M45

Sprint C5 - Splits

Nice Vistas( trail, ocean, sunset and a moose) run w/Val on sky mile trail ( just off of Cabot Trail _NS) . Long day driving and amazing places in NS

Sprint on the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks. Super cool.. and muddy. Had a good time there

Had a nice walk in Moncton, noon hours and 30 Celsius. Later in the eve had great hike w/Val in Truro (NS). Nice park, nice views. Great scenery. Only counted the 'going in to the falls " portion, since HR went high enough to count as exercise.
