COC Long. A much better race but still 10 - 15 minutes of errors. Starts were only delayed by a bit more than an hour. Lots of short technical legs, far more than I think is appropriate for a long-O course.

Canadian Orienteering Champs - Short. An orienteering disaster (for me individually and by the organizers). See the posts on the Discussion page. This area was billed as "orienteering heaven", which I suppose means that we spent two hours in Purgatory before we started. Plus, the promised shuttles from parking to the start/finish and back never materialized, so there was a 2+km walk both ways. I probably had about 45 minutes of errors - primarily two very big ones.

Walk to the start and back from the finish for the short race plus the 1km walk/jog to the Sprint start.

COC Sprint. A very nice course, lots of fun. A few small errors. Also lost some time because six of the first seven e-punch boxes weren't working and I had to punch the map. Starts were only 1.5 hours later than initially scheduled.

Mostly on dirt roads. Syring, Alb Tpke, Jefferson Hill, Bacchus, Pratt, 66S. At noontime, before we haul Rob off to begin his freshman year at Lehigh. Emptying out the nest! :-)

Trails at Kennedy Park, Lenox MA. Cooler than it's been.
