Orienteering race 14:31 [5] 2.7 km (5:23 / km) +50m 4:55 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
Canadian Sprint Champs. 3rd in M21 which is sweet, but feels a little hollow since Brent and Graeme both had faster times on the course but were in different classes.
Race of 2 halves. Apart from almost bricking the first control, the first 8 were pretty much perfect. You could probably argue I took a few too many 'wriggly' routes, but everything was exactly where I wanted it to be and I felt super strong and confident in the terrain.
I'd started to spot Eric K. (-1min) when he made a minor meal of 3 and had him by #6. Then the race changed and instead of doing what I'd done previously I started paying less attention to the map and more on trying to get away from him/what he was doing - and it showed. Nothing major, but bled time in the form of sloppy exits, poor direction and overshooting the control. The splits tell the tale.
Definitely wouldn't have been able to pull myself in front of Robbie or Patrick, but have have been able to sneak in front of the other 2 mentioned above.
Still, loved the race. Forest sprints in lightning fast terrain rule.
