| adv race race 2:49:00 [2] 16 km (10:34 / km) +450m 9:16 / km | |
| |
| from first to finish. ran with Christine W.for a co-ed categ, therefore i had to keep myself in pace. we end up winning the categ , but not by much- as i forget to keep an eye on my watch after 2.2 h- end up 3 minutes late ( minus 30 points). a win is a win regardless. good weather, fun , not so fun (at least for me at the awards )."pick and choose" (is probably the 3rd time when this happens to me. the overall winners had a fast time. good guys....however snowshoe raid is more of an "outdoor endurance race" , only thing related to orienteering is that one has to punch controls and carry a map. i did not pull out my compass from the pocket, neither i had to take decisions while on the course. probably some others did not need it either(the compass ). looking more for the april event.
but since i like winter i will not complain anymore. |

| thomass Caledon.. i don't think i should recorded as orienteering , or snowshoeing or running or walking as it was a combination of the 4(except snowshoeing which i decided not to use ). good course setting, but tooo long for the 2 feet of snow on the ground. yes snowshoes help some people ( and also us the one with no shoes as they were tracks some places ), but generally the course took like double time then a normal one. great training anyway, end up somewhere close to top 10 ( as I had some questionable route choices and there snow was.. fresh-no tracks. oh well.. next time |
