Orienteering race 1:21:14 [3] 7.8 mi (10:25 / mi)

COC long M35. First start.
The original venue was cancelled due to marauding bears, and the organisers did a great job pulling the event together at short notice back at Rafter Six.

What I didn't notice was they changed the map scale on M35, from 1:10 to 1:15, at least until the maps were in the same box as W21. With 30sec to go, the nice organisers invited me to change course...

So it was all a bit weird, stop-starty, ultrasimplification to use the features, lots of slow walking and ultimately clean, less than a minute down on james. Most of the course in a completely empty forest, except for loads of deer (no bears) it felt more like a planning test run than a race.

Thought I'd won, since M35s were off first, right up to the prizegiving when Hiroyuki Kato won off an 11:55 start

Western Canadians - Sprint: Course 5 - Splits

Sunday Jul 24, 2016 #

Orienteering 2:07:28 [3] 7.8 mi (16:21 / mi)

WCOC long.

Oh dear, a 24 minute split on a 90 second leg, almost entirely within 100m of the control, just not finding the damn thing. Not great otherwise, in a rough forest struggling to stay online in the vague bits.
C • James did really well 1

Western Canadian - Long: Course 9 - Splits

Saturday Jul 23, 2016 #

Event: 2016 Western Canadian Orienteering Champs
 
Event: 2016 Icefields Parkway Orienteering Festival
 

Orienteering race 51:07 [3] 3.5 mi (14:36 / mi)

WCOC middle, Cache Lake. M45.
So M45 was billed as 2.2km. I didn't fly half way round the planet to run 2.2km. I switched to M35.
#1 involved running down the track and dropping into a depression beside it.
Couldn't, faffed around for a cope of minutes, out, back, then finally fell into it.
After that, it was tough to stay on line, with low-viz despite the big features, and a couple more sizeable errors occured. Having lost about 10 mins total, it was a surprise to win :)

Running 40:00 [3] 5.0 mi (8:00 / mi)

Today I found the XC ski trails at the back of Holderness, and some really nice trail running options. Probably it would make a nice O-area, the woods are a tad thick at this time of year, but its fairly clean underfoot.

Sunday Jul 17, 2016 #

Running 52:00 [3] 6.0 mi (8:40 / mi)

Hot hilly road run from Holderness school Mt Prospect, Smith & Sargent. Woods looked nice throughout, but nary a track did I escry. Probably get shot if I tried.

Orienteering 1:15:00 [3] 10.0 mi (7:30 / mi)

Boston Sprint Camp. Rerun. Three very different ares
Exploiting jet lag to get out at 6:30 and run

Three courses in Boston Common before breakfast. All about angles,with good visibilty didn't use the compass at all. Fun.

Two courses at Franklin Park. Hmm. This would have been great with oshoes, gaiters and a knowledge of what kind on leaf thorny plants have. Ended up shredding bare legs, and running round a network of vague paths which was really hard to do. Lots of care with compass and detailed local navigation.

One course in North Point. Expected this to be easy, but with lots of OOB strips it was tricky to nail the best route. A few stuff ups.

Running 35:00 [2] 3.0 mi (11:40 / mi)

Various bit of trotting between stations and parks.
