| Manitoba Champs - Middle, Hartney. Map. I had a good run, about 3:00 mistakes. My worst leg was #9, about 2:00 lost, didn't pay enough attention and got pulled too far north. Ended up on the hill 100 m north of the control and took a bit of time to figure out where I was. Could have saved some time on #12 had I been able to pick up the clearing across the fence, and made some very small mistakes on #3, #5 and #14. I was 1st Manitoban (MrPither organized the weekend's events too), but got beat by a foreigner again, Thomas Nipen this time. |

| Manitoba Champs - Sprint, at the U of M, new map by MrPither. He organized the race too, and without him competing I was able to win my first MB sprint title (only other sprint champs were in 2004 & 2006, MrPither won them both). Though I was beat by Tadeas, a Czech student who's spending a year in Manitoba.
I had a fairly good run, made two 0:15 mistakes, and had good speed. One mistake was on #2. I was going to go around the west side of the main building, until I realized (just before I reached the road junction 150 m south of #1) that the buildings I was planning on going between were actually connected, prompting me to change my route and go around the east side of the main building. I lost a couple seconds reconsidering my route choice, and could have cut off a good bit of distance had I decided on the east route in the beginning. My other mistake was on #9. I saw the building 50 m NW of the control first and went to it, thinking it was the building right next to the control. Map, with my route. |
