Training event on Sulphur Springs map. Ten controls on the map but I visited one twice (from different directions). Slow and deliberate just getting familiar with the terrain. Great visibility, pretty good footing, some steep areas. Sunny and 60's - nice.

Canadian Nationals Sprint at McMaster U. 2.7km straight line, one stairway worth of climb. Fun sprint with a bit more complexity than the sprint here in 2006. Several hesitations and a few small misses (e.g. checking the wrong tree on 9). Not sure I got the route choices right on 4 and 7, but just picked a route and went with it figuring that any differences would be small. Maybe could've been about a minute faster. Need to do speed work (and more O-sprints) if I want to do well at this kind of stuff. Was 6th in M55-64.
