I am not a big fan of the Canmore Nordic Centre. Too many trails and as Nick said: "Too steep up hill, too steep down hill".

Orienteering (Sprint) 26:02 [1] **

Took it easy on this one. Saving my energy for Patrick's training this aft.

Banff Center. Really tricky. Ran with Jon for second half. Good speed but somewhat sloppy. Excellent sprint map.

Easy run to check out the running room. I was thinking of buying a pair of compressive running shorts. They sound comfortable.

Orienteering 1:24:14 [3] *** 12.4 km (6:48 / km) +230m 6:13 / km
shoes: Integrators

The long was an almost very successful race for me. A sudden loss of contact trying to catch Igor combined with fatigue after 12 km of orienteering lost me 2 minutes in an open field. However 2 minutes compared to last years usual 10 minutes is a pleasantly large improvement. I wanted to orienteer better then at West Point and CSU. I believe this was the case. Another positive note, I felt especially sharp in this segment of #12. Although I could have been more direct, I had no trouble precision orienteering through the vegetation. This I believe is because of the many hours of head scratching I've been doing in the fields surrounding Ottawa mapping for the OOC. I am happy with my race.

Over the weekend I was especially impressed by the performances of Robbie and Jordon. Robbie with his fast sprint and respectable long, Jordon for beating me in every race. I am looking forward to the next A-meet we race again, I really enjoyed the Buffalo O-festival.
