Orienteering race (Rafter Six) 51:45 [3] *** 6.02 km (8:36 / km) +100m 7:56 / km
ahr:151 max:168 spiked:8/11c shoes: inov8 MUDCLAW 300
Meant to be at Nordic Centre but had to be changed at last minute due to bears.
Dropped down to the open course like at the Western Canadians as I didn't think I was up for running over 90 mins yet. Didn't have the same problems as yesterday but half of the controls on my course I did visit on the middle. Only small time losses on 3 controls and it was nice that my splits thought I had made no mistakes.
Good course considering they only had a few days to plan. Kudos. Didn't see a bear and leaving the mountains tomorrow so I've missed my chance.

Running warm up/down 5:21 [2] 0.7 km (7:39 / km)
ahr:129 max:139 shoes: inov8 MUDCLAW 300
Orienteering race (Rafter Six) 51:50 [4] *** 5.3 km (9:47 / km) +110m 8:52 / km
spiked:9/15c shoes: inov8 MUDCLAW 300
After doing geeking last night I knew what to expect..go slow, have a plan, terrain will be grotty. This worked wonders for the first 5 and i was beating Mark by 4 mins. Controls 6, 7 and 8 though were awful and really threw me losing around 8 mins in total. I lost what little motivation I had as i was sure Mark had come through me and just plodded home, going from 11 straight to 13 didn't help. Would have been interesting to see how close I was to those controls but annoying WRE rule means that can't happen.

Orienteering (Bow Lake Provincial Park) 27:25 [3] 2.8 km (9:48 / km) +20m 9:27 / km
ahr:146 max:166 shoes: inov8 TRAILROC 255
We chose Bow Lake Provincial Park as the actual training area had to be cancelled to the number of bears around Canmore. No bears here though. Area was good training for the Middle/Long as its just over the road so similar terrain. Exercise was map memory around the tricky contour parts of the map. I was better than I was expecting but still room for improvement.
Orienteering (Bow Lake Provincial Park) 34:17 [3] 3.3 km (10:23 / km) +31m 9:55 / km
ahr:141 max:166 shoes: inov8 TRAILROC 255
A bit better. We chose legs to explore what the green was like...and it was grotty which made it harder to spot the 2.5m contour features. Had some trouble reading which was up/down but apparently the area for middle/long is a little less complicated.

Orienteering race (Blue Lake) 21:46 [4] *** 3.3 km (6:36 / km) +18m 6:25 / km
ahr:161 max:180 spiked:18/24c shoes: inov8 MUDCLAW 300
A "forest sprint" and again just jogging. Many little cabins made it interesting and was aware i was using my compass much more than i would be on a urban sprint. Would have beaten Mark had I spiked 20 and 21 because he can't orienteer
