walk to the start in Arnprior along the river front

Sprint race in the town and park. a few extra seconds on 3 controls all adding to about 1:30 minutes extra.

Sprint - Course 3 - Splits

walk to start

on #1 I run the trail, but turn in too soon, look around at a similar hill and small swamp, back tot the trail and then approach as I had intended. (about 8 - 10 minutes extra)

Long - Course 7B - Splits

walk to start from the parking and arena area, we go north out to the road and then back into the mapped area from the east

on #2 I never saw the fence and then came off of a similar trail on my approach, but found #3 instead (about 600 meters extra distance)
on #4 I veered off to the right, hit the trail, then came back from there (plus 200 meters)
on #6 i also faded to the right, did not see the small lake/swamp spent at least 30 minutes extra - first to the right, then to the lake, back again over a set of similar ridges, and finally back to the control. The blue "stream" was not very distinct, and many areas were wet. After looking at my GPS track, I was in or near the control circle 4 times, but failed to see the flag. (total about 1.3 km extra)

Middle - Course 7b - Splits

Walk around at the model area late in the afternoon
