Wooohooo, I love relays !!
Was excited again for this race, but knew that my body was tired and that I was going to have to put in some serious work.
I had a good spot at the start line and managed to make it across the pit of death into the woods alive ! Woohoo!
Took the road route to 1 to give myself a change to read and relax. Small bobble on 3 with a few other girls as we went a little too far right. I recovered well and breezed through the next few controls. I had the long fork on 5 and led a few girls in to that one. Coming to the last control before the spectator I felt a rush of adrenalin and was pushing hard. I slowed down a bit on the second loop, trying to pull all th remaining juice from my dying legs. A little left on 9 but recovered, and then sailed (aka had a HR of 200) through the last few controls.
Another great race and a result that I'm super proud of! Also incredibly proud of Nicole and Emma for kicking butt on their legs too! Go Canada !!

Went into this race super excited and mentally ready! I was ready for some forest redemption after the middles.
I took the majority of the course just under speed and made no mistakes. Just a few hesitations on 9-10 and 14-15.
I took the longer road route on the long leg because I knew that i could go a lot faster there, get a mental break, and read ahead on the course. I honestly didn't even consider another route. It's funny to look at the difference in km split times on this leg compared to the others lol.
After the long leg I was feeling super tired and died as I trudged up two hills back to back. Pushed it as hard as I could back in and finished right at the time that I had made as my goal :)
Super happy with this race and with knowing that I can run a clean race now and again. Apparently the shortest and longest races are my things :P

A solid race! Totally not the course I was expecting at all!
No mistakes, just a small hesitation on 16-17 and some debatable routes from start to 1 and 18-19. I opted for the route to 19 that stuck higher through the woods since I had already gone that way earlier and knew exactly where I was going... But the beach route was probably faster.
Really happy knowing I can have consistent results with the last two years even though I'm not at my physical best because of my injury this winter! Already excited for next year!

Urg urg urg too many huge mistakes!
Lost about 8 mins on #3 because I got off my bearing and ended up at this open-isn area that I couldn't match up on my map. I tried relocating from the road but thought I was too far right when I was too far left. I found 2 controls that were on my course later on but I didn't even think to look farther down on my descriptions to see that they were mine! Frustrating.
After that massive blow up I was orienteering aggressively and nailing all the controls until I went too low on 10.
Running harder than yesterday but need to eliminate those big mistakes.

Started slow to get into the map and nailed all the controls up to 5. I was confidents and was looking up and visualizing well.
After that I basically just lost focus and was super tired and made sloppy mistakes. On 6 I was one re-entrant too far left so I lost some time there. I also was maybe 20m away from 8 and didn't see it and lost a heck of a lot of time there too... check the GPS, it's quite awful.
Not really a fan of this course either... According to some Swiss girls Q2 was a lot harder than 1 or 3 so that's kind of annoying.
