COC WRE sprint. Will write more later

Event: Canadian Orienteering Championships 2008
 

Hopewell Rocks Sprint. I don't have my map in front of me right now, so specifics will be hard to give, but this sprint was a lot of fun. It was basically just out and back on the shore of the Bay of Fundy. The rock formations were awesome and seeing controls out there was pretty funny. The scale of the map confused me somewhat. My big mistake was that there was a cable that indicated out of bounds, but controls were placed just behind the cable. I thought that these controls were marking the out of bounds, since they were actually out of bounds, so I didn't even look at them. Turns out my first control was one of these. I made it to my 3rd control before realizing how far off I was. I lost about 2.5 minutes here. Other than that, things went ok, but I wasn't very clean.

CSU training at MIT. I designed a strange workout at MIT. It started with an ascent of the Green Building and then was a relatively easy orienteering course on a new base map of MIT that Brendan and I made. At about half of the controls, there were conditioning exercises to do (abs and legs) before continuing. I wasn't sure how long it was going to take everyone, so I designed it to be done twice. The only person that made it through more than once was Clem, who did about 1.5 times through. It was a lot of fun, although I got a cramp in my right calf coming down the Green Building at the beginning, which hurt pretty badly the entire night.

Conditioning stuff in the CSU training.
