| Event: ROC - Mendon Ponds Park
|
 | Orienteering race 56:50 [2]*** 5.2 km (10:56 / km) +100m 9:58 / km | |
| spiked:10/12c shoes: Adidas Yukon Trail |
| Mendon Green course. Distance is my estimated distance covered. Straight-line distance was listed as 4.2 km. There was snow on most parts of the course which made the footing very bad and made travel a lot slower than it normally should have been. I was hardly tired at the end of the course, due I'm sure to not being able to really push the pace on most of the course. I messed up on #4 and #7, losing maybe 3-4 minutes on each. Otherwise, no major mistakes, just much slower than I would have liked to have been.
I finished 3rd out of around 10-15 people on Green, at least that's the place I was in when I left. I was around 3-4 minutes out of first. |

| Spent two hours working on the map of Dryer Road Park/Fort Hill / Ganonagon. My head was spinning due to the high density of trails in the Dryer Rd Park portion. |

| Ellison Wetlands. With Anne, although we split off and she walked and I ran, because she's battling a back/nerve problem. Ran almost all the way to Old Browncroft.
First time wearing Adidas Yukon Trail, which I bought fairly cheaply at DSW, and intend to use primarily for orienteering and trail running. They felt reasonably good and seemed to have decent traction. |
