11 AM
Running (dirt) warm up/down 6:00 [2]
shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
Warm up jog from start to portapotties and back (start about 300m past).... Gorgeous day! Sunny and upper 60s or low 70s by start time.
Orienteering race (middle) 43:20 [4] *** 2.9 km (14:57 / km) +27m 14:17 / km
13c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
Middle course 5 on Hidden Meadows/Spreckley's Trails map west of Ottawa. Same map as middle course at COCs in Aug. 2010. I had a few small errors here and there, maybe a few minutes' worth.
EDIT: FR = 3.6 km
To 1, should have taken the trail around, which would have been faster. Straight was shorter, but I got pushed right and keyed off another control on a cliff before finding mine. Smaller trails were hard to see in the terrain. ~45s
After 5, should have headed straight out to the trail instead of angling and missing it by a little bit. ~1m
10-11, crossed the stream on a trail and then crossed the fenceline, when running farther up the trail would have been safer. Drifted a bit right. ~45s
Results
Second of the women on the course (a minute back); 1st F55-64; 6th overall (course 5). Fastest was Peter Jones, UK, at just under 30 minutes.

4 PM
Orienteering race (sprint) 20:07 [5] *** +10m
ahr:1 spiked:13/14c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2
Sprint course 2, closer in to Kanata west of Ontario (Beaverbrook map, 1:4000, 2m contours). Warmer than this morning; in the upper 70s. We found some shade to hang out in between races and were joined by Ali and Alex, then Hammer, Hans F, and some other young folk. Fun to listen to them; not much to add except when talking about interesting control locations and recalling some memorable ones on J-J's 200-control course at Pawtuckaway a few years ago. ;-)
Nice sprint course, part parkland and part woods/hills; not as many buildings as at last year's sprint.
Happy with my time; maybe could have been 1:00-1:30 faster or so. (ADDED:) Off-line to #5; saw #6 through the woods (they were only 40m apart), stopped to read the map and then realized the flag I saw off to my right was actually the one I wanted first. On the way to 1, wanted to go through a thin strip of white woods along the tennis court, near the beeline; turns out some of the white wasn't so passable and had to pick my way over rocks and around vegetation. May have been faster to just run around the whole blob, but I'm still not convinced.
FR = 2.227 km (and 2m climb, but the map shows more than that!)
