Event: Canadian Orienteering Championships
 

Middle Distance of WCOCs on hidden lakes in Whitehorse. For me it was an okay race. I was never lost or truely out of contact with the map. I wasn't squeaky clean and I wasn't aggressive especially at the end when I was tired but I didn't have any embarrassing blow-ups either.

WCOC Middle Course 9 - Splits

Went out to do some training with mom and dad on the Lost Lake map. I was glad that I went because I was seriously underestimating the size of the depressions and kept stopping early at less significant dips. I think that control and precision will be a huge factor in how people place in this event.

Explored the trails around the Bull's house with Shadow the dog. Poor Shadow started off strong but was dropping off the back near the end. I slowed down quite a bit so that I wouldn't lose him. Still, I really enjoyed running with him especially since I don't think this is the kind of place where you run around with your ipod blaring.

After three days of driving it was nice to stretch the legs and go for a run around the Bull's house in Whitehorse. It was a beautiful day and I was definitely sweating up a storm running up a long gradual hill. Glad to have finally arrived!
