slept:7.5 weight:137lbs

Abs are particularly sore today. I guess that means I was double-poling properly for at least part of the last 2 days!

Ski Orienteering race (Canadian Ski-O Champs) 1:12:00 [4] *** 20.0 km (3:36 / km)
spiked:13/15c shoes: Salomon Racing Skate 9

Mansfield Outdoor Center, Canada

No skating allowed on the classic trails resulted in an extreme double-pole fest. Fortunately, no substantial elevation changes.

Results: 6/16 in Male Elite class, less than 10 minutes behind the winner (Scott Pleban)

Ski Orienteering (Mansfield Outdoor Center) 1:20:00 [3] 25.0 km (3:12 / km)
shoes: Salomon Racing Skate 9

Skied around with Scott and George after the race, analyzing routes, splitting up and testing routes on control legs, and enjoying the snow before it started raining.

Skate Skiing warm up/down (Canadian Ski-O Champs) 20 [3] 2.5 km (8 / km)

Ski Orienteering race (Canadian Adven Race Ski-O) 58:49 [3] *** 15.0 km (3:55 / km)
spiked:8/10c shoes: Salomon Racing Skate 9

Unexpectedly cold start for the day: 12F (saw 6F on the way to the race) but expected 25 (lousy weather forecasts again).

Skating on class trails was not restricted, but the tracks were deep and icy, making it faster and more stable for me to double-pole in the tracks than skate across them. Not ideal conditions.

Map markup for skating and classic trails was completely inaccurate, and several track-set trails on the map weren't groomed or were fenced off and ungroomed! That caused a bit of confusion at the last few controls.

Results: 4/13 in Men's Elite course, about 7 minutes behind the winning time

Ski Orienteering (Wasaga Beach, Ontario) 1:30:00 [3] 20.0 km (4:30 / km)
shoes: Salomon Racing Skate 9

Skied around after the race verifying map errors found on the course, analyzing route choices and enjoying the snow.

Skate Skiing warm up/down (Canadian Adven Race Ski-O) 30:00 [3] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Salomon Racing Skate 9

Warm-up and trying to stay warm

Note

The long-ish drive to Canada, made a bit longer by forgetting my "border papers".
