Running 10:00 [3]
Warm up
Orienteering 20:48 [3] 3.1 km (6:43 / km) +70m 6:02 / km
Set-up race Queens Park
3:45 of 1st place, 13th female.
I thought I had a pretty good race, except for one less-than-stellar route choice that cost me maybe 20 seconds. Either I was not moving as fast as I thought or everyone else had a great race because it was my worst result of the weekend. Perhaps I was running too safely. Or I was just starting to get puffed out after all this sprinting.

Orienteering 18:34 [3] 3.0 km (6:11 / km) +80m 5:28 / km
Chasing sprint. So much fun!!
2:44 off 1st place, 10th female.
I finished with my best race. Started in 13th in the chase and ended up 10th so that's awesome. The dirt and hard pavement felt like a relief after running through so much snow and mush all weekend.

Race #2, Lafarge
3:07 off 1st place, 9th female.
Make a 15 sec. mistake on the 5th control and had some difficulty running uphill through the deep snow, but otherwise I was happy with this first race of the weekend.

Orienteering 35:00 [3] 3.3 km (10:36 / km)
Lafarge Training - Route Choice with Dave R
I learned that it was faster to run around on the icy pavement than on a straight line through the snow.

Orienteering 15:48 [3] 3.2 km (4:56 / km)
Race #3 Poirier Farsta
My favourite race. Absolute chaos!
2.49 off first place, 10th female.
Twice I punched the wrong control, but then quickly realized. Also made a small directional error on loop three, lost a good 20 seconds following someone incorrectly on loop 4 and had a few hesitations amid the chaos.

Orienteering 20:00 [3] 2.5 km (8:00 / km)
Poirier Training
Really just jogged around this as a cool-down. Even cut through the sports centre at one point to use the loo mid-course.

Orienteering 16:00 [3] 2.5 km (6:24 / km)
2-person relay
This was fun. I got teamed up with 12-year old Annika from Seattle. Apparently I mis-punched on loop one and got us disqualified though.
I went to the correct control at the beginning of the loop, but then got confused by all the people running in all directions and second guessed myself. I saw another control really close by and ran over to it, punched it, but then realized I was correct in the first place, so just continued on my course. Not sure if that extra punch was the reason for the DQ or whether I made a mistake somewhere else. There were a lot of controls out there, so you never know, but I am SURE I checked all the codes.
Sorry Annika.
