| COC Long, Maple Grove map, Fundy National Park. Navigation was evidently adequate enough to finish the course without tons of mistakes, and I think that's the most positive thing I can truthfully say... I'm terrible in this terrain! Kind of wandered in towards most controls, and had surprising success with that... oh well, next year in Manitoba I should finally get some good results in the COC Middle and Long. |

| COC Middle, Maple Grove map, Fundy National Park. Had a horrible race, 22:00 mistake on #1, 4:00 mistakes on #3 and #11, around 35:00 total mistakes, and was, most of the time, too slow on top of that. The start flag was misplaced by about 15 m, but I have no idea if that messed me up on #1 at all. Shouldn't have lost all that time in any case. Apparently mistaking some clearing that I saw through the forest for the powerline's clearing was the main cause of the major time loss. |

| COC Sprint, McLaren Pond map, Fundy National Park. Good run I guess, fairly happy being 6th Canadian, could have been 3rd though had I made no mistakes. Made a bunch of small mistakes totalling 1:10 or so. Also was very slow going up the hills to #19 and #22. |

| Hopewell Rocks Sprint. Felt good physically, but that didn't seem to matter out there... wasn't able to run all that hard with the mud, rockweed, and most significantly, the tricky navigation. Wasn't able to plan ahead. Only made one mistake, ended up at #18 while looking for #17, about 0:30 lost, but wasn't 100% sure of things most of the time. |
