Orienteering 5:00 [1]
Hm, did not leave enough time to be peaceful into quarantine, but made it, with the necessary stuff, unfortunately not my warm-up map. But saw Wyatt standing chatting with his, so asked if I could borrow it for a spin. Thanks Wyatt! Helps to get the feel of 1:4 after 1:15...
Running 7:00 [2]
And, need a better warm-up for a sprint than a long, so did some speeds and such on the trail available!
Orienteering race 14:05 [4] *** 2.4 km (5:52 / km) +51m 5:18 / km

NAOC Sprint - PEEC - RouteGadget
So an ok race, but not 100% sharp, often hadn't figured out how to leave a control before getting there, nor did I know the control code before arriving. That's just too sloppy for a sprint. Plus need to light the fire a little more on the running part of things, I'd guess! I was 3rd this time, a minute down to Emma and 20-odd seconds to Sam.
1 - Should have followed line more directly after start control. Perhaps distracted by seeing Cristina's route before me and Boris heading that way too.
2 - I needlessly bashed through the woods, I think staying in the yellow/road would be better.
7 - Chasing down Cristina, probably could have pushed the pace here more.
9 - Hesitant, didn't want to miss the control in the green...
11 - Hesitant right in circle, should have just bashed into the green and looked around.
15 - Wasn't sure about where flag would be in relation to mini stadium thingy when I arrived.
17-18 - These I think I lost the most time not having read ahead and having to check control codes.
I wonder if I have my full running speed back yet. I may do a 5k this weekend to check...

Running warm up/down 5:00 [1]
Warm up jogging around the quarantine, exciting as others were going out, running through the spectator, exchanging, woo, woo!
Drills warm up/down 6:00 [2]
Hippity-hop, normal running drills, spectating all the action still...

NAOC Relay - PEEC - 1st ever!
Well, Alex and Sam had done their jobs, so I had a good lead over Team Canada, but time to do my part! I didn't have a fantastic race, getting 'lost' for the first time all weekend on my route out to #6 after missing two trails in passing (not quite sure how that happened...) Panic totally set in, I had visions of it being so embarassing to lose the race when given such a good lead and having such other good races this weekend. So I kept trying to figure things out, ran into some cliffs which I wasn't sure if they were the row I was looking for or the ones on the hill along the way. Turns out there was a trail right there, ah, ok, so on the hill on the way there... continue on then! At least a minute lost, I think....
Other than that, things were fine, but that mistake meant I definitely just took the trails on the long leg back towards PEEC. A fav picture with us gals from right after the finish (thanks Kenny!):
Thumbs up! =)
