COC Long Champs on Carp Ridge Ecowellness Centre and the "Barrens" map. Interesting and challenging map with lots of bare rock clearings and many ponds and marshes making route choice critical to avoid dead-ends. The kind of map that makes you exclaim out loud when you flip it over at the start. For those who weren't there, be sure to check it out on Route Gadget when it's up.

Did fine with route planning, but was generally terrible with execution. Lost about 38 minutes total with 28 minutes of it on one leg when I made a massive parallel error. Still finished mid-pack but about 35 minutes behind the winner (Gord Hunter). Oh, well. At least it didn't rain (much). Forerunner measured 9.9km (for a 5.1 km course).

Long Course 7A - Splits

Assorted jogging around and a few strides warming up for the sprint.

COC Sprint at National Research Institute of Canada campus. Mostly open area running with controls tucked in building or vegetation corners. A little bit of woods (2 controls, about 100m total in the woods). Good run with one slight miss (~10 sec). 2nd in M55, 12 seconds behind the Dane who I beat by 13 sec yesterday. Overcast with sprinkles with temps in the 60's. FR measured distance 2.48km.

Sprint Course 3. - Splits

Model event for COC's. A bit of jogging, mostly walking and visiting controls.

COC Middle Distance on Hidden Meadows & Spreckley's Trails map near Carp, Ontario. Complex trail network in complex granite terrain. Fun stuff. A couple of 2 minute errors on two controls plus some hesitations on others. Kept focus and recovered relatively quickly. Ended up 2nd overall in M55-64, about 40 seconds back. Perfect weather, 70's and sunny. FR measured distance 3.89km.

66N, Bacchus, Pratt, 66S. Up and down a few hills. 80F but lower DP. Collected lots of little bugs in the sweat on my front - gross. Didn't take a picture.
