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.

Checking all control sites for the Western Canadian Champs Long course. Some running, some walking. I'm excited about the courses. I think it will be a fun event for the runners.

Checking all control sites for the Sprint. This will be pretty tricky!

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.

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!
