COC Sprint event in Fundy NP on McLaren Pond map - Course 3 (4 and 5 were W and M WRE courses). Mostly a park sprint with three controls in the woods near the end. Seven of the controls were in an area about 100m x 150m with about 30 small cabins. Had about 1:30 in errors, the biggest being on a short leg in the cabins. Also lost about 20 seconds on a less than optimum route choice on the longest leg. Was 1st in the M55-64 class by 11 seconds. Another perfect weather day.

COC Model Event in Fundy NP. Walked and jogged (and ran on trails) to get a look at the terrain. Unfortunately the model map was printed at 1:5000 while the competition maps were at 1:10000. Learned that the vegetation mapping did not resemble reality and that there was lots of thick stuff out there. The contours seemed to be pretty good with some complex areas. Slow and precise would be key.
