| First WET of the fall season. Thomas had updated the QE map with the new park on top of the reservoir. Map is much better now, more dynamic, more choices. Fun! |

| Test run of the M21E sprint course for the Western Canadian Champs. Knew the course, of course, but ran a bit slower, trying to simulate reading the map and making decisions. This will not be an easy course. Don't think anyone can do it under 14. |

| Orienteering Forest (race) 33:58 [4] 4.5 km (7:33 / km) | |
| |
| Barebones relay. Ran leg D, which first had a middle distance course. Started second, just before a small pack, which all had the shorter fork in the beginning. Was just ahead of them on a very difficult leg, compass along an indistinct slope. I missed it by a minute, slightly too high, and they passed me. Saw them again on the hill up to 7, but then missed 9 and I never saw anyone. In the end, came in third. Only Ted had passed me. |
| Orienteering Forest (race) 8:33 [4] 1.6 km (5:21 / km) | |
| |
| Last leg of the relay was a short sprint. I went out in second place alone and raced a clean race by myself. A very amazingly fun competition!

| Prologue sprint at the Canmore Olympic ski trails. Very unusual map, entirely covered with a maze of trails. A pretty easy course, but hilly. Apart from a small hesitation to the first control, I had a clean race.

| Chase at the trails. Started third, 24 seconds behind Eric Bone and 11 behind Alaric. Caught up and punched first at the third control as they both missed it. However, they got it right after me and they were stronger than me in the very steep terrain. Eric disappeared, but I kept up to Alaric and punched together on the second last, but Alaric was faster then me down the very steep slope to the finish.

| Longish race at Barrier Lake. Great map and great tough terrain with lots of contour detail. Made a small mistake on the first control, but compensated with a good leg to the very difficult third. Then missed 4 with a minute in a parallel error. Did really well from there on. At the end 18 was misplaced, but I saw the control and got it. Lost a bit of time on the next one as I didn't start from the correct spot. Fun race!

| Super sprint at the YMCA camp. Short and fast! |

| Night-O on the map around the camp. Attempted to go straight to 3, which was silly. Got too much to the right and had a hard time to relocate in the dark. Should have taken the trail instead. After that caught up to Odd and MarkG. Passed them on the last few controls.
