Orienteering race (Ottawa O Fest) 2:32:00 [5] 7.1 km (21:25 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 F-Lite 195

Missed my start as I was giving a beginner clinic that ran kind of late. Oops! Distracted right off the start without any time to stretch or think about the "plan". Maybe a good thing though as I also didn't have any time to be nervous. Felt I needed to redeem myself after the 2011 O-Fest long where I DNF'ed. That wasn't a good way to make my F21 debut...

The original plan was to take it slow to #1 and be accurate throughout without losing contact. Headed up from the clearing too early and picked the wrong cliff. Ooof!

Continued on without much trouble (except for a parallel error on #4 that cost me 2+ minutes I figure), walking about 80% of the time. Felt ok getting into the spectator control so continued on at the same pace. Ideally I would have sped up in the second half but the footing was so bad and the +30 degrees was sucking the energy right out of me. Ran with water today- never done that before. Drank about 0.5-1L over the length of the course, refilling at each water stop. Also had 1 gel.

By the time I was 3/4 of the way through I came to terms with my slow-er-than-normal pace, knowing I wouldn't be able to go any faster at that point. Picked it up only slightly on the trails and on the gradual downhills in the white. Spent about 1 minute standing in a swamp, cooling off my feet near #12.

I was pretty panicked through the last 3 or 4 controls, worried that I would blow things right at the end. #14 gave me trouble. By #15 I was ecstatic, knowing that I would be able to finish within the 3 hour time limit. :)

Ran up the finish giving it everything I had left (which was not much!).

Good race despite how awful the heat made me feel. I figure I ran about 75% of it. Still picking forest stuff out of my hair.

Orienteering race (Ottawa O Fest) 1:22:51 [4] 4.7 km (17:38 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

Middle event for Ottawa O Fest 2012.

Didn't want to get confused with the trails so took it pretty easy. Managed ok except for #8 (way too far south and I still don't know how!). The long leg between 11 and 12 I took it really easy on the trails rather than the woods. I think there was an even chance of getting lost between the wooded route and the trails.

5 PM

Orienteering race 25:09 [5] 2.5 km (10:04 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 F-Lite 195

Ottawa O Fest Sprint event.

I felt like I kept a consistent pace the entire race, up until about #15. Didn't start off too fast. The weather was hot and I knew I'd run into trouble with endurance after this morning's middle event.
#5 missed it being too low, #9 missed it being too low so #15 decided to stay high as I didn't understand the control description. Of course, this time, I was up top and needed to be below... of course.
Last 3 controls exhausted me. Tall grass+heat+jello legs. Still pulled off the fastest finish split.

Junior training tonight at Britannia. We're already week 5- can't believe it! The kids are all still really enjoying it- especially the courses that Eric has set up.
Last night we worked on relocation for the first half then a course on a new part of the map for the second half. A great challenge for them!

Great race today at Lac Beauchamp. Only had slight trouble with 2 controls but managed to relocate very quickly in each case. I was super lucky with one or two controls- I was just in the right place without thinking I was. Need to stop doubting myself.

Dragonboating 1:00:00 [2]

First practice of the season. Very excited to start up again!

We started off with 2 x 3minute segments, then a few 1 minutes.
Row by row, then first 3, next 2, last 3 rows. We were only short 5 people- not bad for the first practice.

Tried to remember all the technique we learned last year! FUN!

Note

I have a dilemma: Do I use 7 of my 15 vacation days to travel to Sweden this summer to run at O-Ringen? I am leaning towards 'yes', though it's tempting to save the money and participate in more events around here this summer and fall. Decisions....
6 PM

Orienteering race 1:32:00 [3] 6.5 km (14:09 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

Just guessing at my time here. My watch didn't start and I only noticed that it hadn't at around control 3.

OK race today. Could have been a lot faster. Only had trouble with 2 controls. Both times relocated out to a trail right away to save time as usually I just stand around and worry.
