Orienteering race (COC Sprint) 18:57 [4] 2.9 km (6:32 / km)
shoes: Black Asics GT 2000
Canadian Sprint Champs at the University of PEI in Charlottetown.
Fairly straightforward area with well spaced buildings, the course had lots of twists and turns and made good use of the map. Went well with no significant errors through the first 17 controls, not sure if I could have done that better then ..
#18 was on the side of the athletics track and there was double fence to get inside the track, I saw what I thought was gap in the fence (on the map) and ran to it only to find it was a gap in the other fence! So had to run past the control and back and lost around 1min 20 sec which saw me drop from potential 3rd to 6th.
Went to the PEI Brewery afterwards and then a walk around the old British Fort at Amherst that overlooks the harbour, Lobster dinner tonight.
No GPS as the start was from inside the sports complex so could not start it inside the building.
