| Event: OOC Eastern Canadian Orienteering Championships
|
 | orienteering race (middle) 52:12 [5]*** 6 km (8:42 / km) +200m 7:27 / km | |
| spiked:11/15c |
| Pretty long and challenging middle distance course, but it was a blast!!! Messed up the first 2 controls wasting a couple minutes, but the rest was good. Visited every single hill on the map practically which was sooooo tiring. It looked pretty simple on the map, but actually running it put it in perspective. Nailed most of the bingo controls, but went around the wrong side of the hill on control 9. Super fast from that control on and had a good sprint in. |
| orienteering race (sprint) 20:41 [5]*** 3 km (6:54 / km) | |
| spiked:12/14c |
| Messed up the 2 first controls sooo bad!!! Couldn't find the start triangle for ages, and then I kept on losing it. Visited a couple cliffs before I found the right one, and by then Wil Smith had caught up to me. Then I did a 180 to number 2, but after those 2 mistakes the rest was excellent and very fast!!! A litte bit worried going along the ridge for controls 4 to 7. From control 9 to 10, I was with Stefan, and it was like who could run through the green and dodge the trees the fastest. It was soo nice going downhill that the uphill right after was a slap in the face!!! Extremely fast last 4 controls and I think I even won a couple of the splits. Amazingly too, I came first in F21!!! :P makes the race even better!!! |

Thursday May 17 |
| running race 11:40 [5]3 km (3:53 / km) vdot: 49.4 | |
| |
| New PB in the 3000m since my rival in cross-country set a pretty fast pace. Practically the whole race I was about 10m behind the 3rd place girl. I got really close to passing her, but it never happened...felt like a really great race, and I'm improving!!! |
| running race (steeplechase) 5:58 [3]1.5 km (3:59 / km) vdot: 44.7 | |
| |
| Did much better on the steelechase this time, although it was sooooo cold!!!!! It was at 8:15 in the morning, and you'd jump into the water which was frigid anyways, but then running down the straightway, the wind was coming right at you!!!! BRRRRR!!!! Came 5th which means I get to go to cities!!! |

Sunday May 13 |
| orienteering race 1:09:54 [3]6 km (11:39 / km) | |
| |
| I think that whole map should be green because there isn't a lot of difference between the white and green anyways. Didn't make too many mistakes, took it slow on the bingo control 5 which in the middle of nowhere on a really steep hill. I think I chose a pretty good route choice on the longest leg, but it'll be interesting when the results are up and I can compare splits. |
