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.

First race at Barebones at Mt Laurie. Start with six controls in the detailed area, which I did cleanly, then I hesitated too much in deciding route to 7, picked the wrong way and then also missed the control, running too far past it on the trail. Lost 2 minutes here. Then it was fine the rest of the way, even though I lost a few minutes at the end just not being aggressive enough.
