| COC Model Event, at Eb's Trails, north of Saskatoon. Made an analysis of the terrain and what my race plan should be, which is something I don't think I've done before from a model event. Probably should do that more often, especially if the terrain is difficult or unusual. However, the middle distance terrain and most of the long distance terrain weren't all that similar to the model area (even though it was part of the same map), so my analysis wasn't as useful as it could be been. Plus I apparently forgot about the "take the trails, even if it is a lot further" part of my analysis while out on the courses (took some routes that didn't use the trails quite enough, in one case didn't look a little further off the line to see a trail option, and was too hesitant in choosing some trail routes). |

| COC Sprint, University of Saskatchewan. Had good speed considering my lack of recent training. Extremely bad approaching the COCs with no training plan and not even trying to be in good shape. Oh well, if it's any consolation my navigation was too bad for me to get a good result even if I were in great shape. Lost about 0:05 hesitating near #2, and as a result didn't plan ahead for #3 and ran to a control on another course, losing another 0:20. Didn't pay attention on #15 and lost 0:20, pretty dumb mistake. Also lost 0:10 on #11 due to the description being vague. Jon won with 13:33 and Brent was second with 13:37... quite a difference from the NAOC Sprint last year, when I was within 15 seconds of both of them (I did really good, and I guess they didn't). |
