Orienteering 30:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 11
WET by Zoltan at Queen Elizabeth Park. There were 2 loops to the course and I did 1.5 because I chugged some water halfway and felt very sloshy.

Orienteering 2:30:28 [3] 7.3 km (20:37 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Ascend 4
Long Distance Event at the COC's.
Wow! What an amazing race. It was long and complicated with crazy route choices and terrain like nothing I have ever encountered. Half way through the race I was running across a rocky open ridge between two ponds and all I could think about was how much I love orienteering. I was proud of myself for finishing (and, therefore, claiming the silver medal woot) but also because although I may have wandered a little bit, I was never lost and I corrected all of my mistakes quite quickly. There was a bit of controversy over the crossing of uncrossable lakes but since I was familiar with the rules it never occured to me that I could save time by trying to cross some of the marshes.
It was a fantastic end to a fantastic week of orienteering and I think this race will go down as one of my favourites ever. Bravo OOC. I look forward to coming back next time.
