When and how did you get involved with orienteering?
Started orienteering with my family as a young child. I got really interested in orienteering when the COCs were in NB in 2000 (age 12).
What do you love most about orienteering?
The combined physical and mental challenge and the orienteering community.
What is your favourite orienteering discipline, and why?
Relay: I love the extra pressure of the mass start and I find I really manage to focus well with other runners around to push me.
Which orienteering event is always on your calendar?
COCs – I think it’s important for HPP members to show up to the COCs in order to build and maintain excitement about and interest in the national team.
Do you have an orienteering idol? If so, who and why?
Honestly, Emily Kemp is one of the is one of the people I most look up to in orienteering. She works so hard but at the same time is really positive and seems to be having lots of fun orienteering.
What was the highlight of your 2011 season?
That my time training in France really paid off and helped me exceed my expectations for WOC 2011.
What are your 2012 orienteering goals?
To improve on last year’s WOC results.
What races are on your 2012 calendar?
Tahoe Ski-O World Cup races, Vancouver/Victoria Sprint Camp, NAOC 2012, WOC 2012, COC 2012.
What is your favourite international orienteering location?
Venice! Can’t wait for WOC 2014.
When you’re not orienteering, where can we find you?
In the mountains in California.
GVOC is cheering for you, Carol!
Have a great time. I am jealous that you get to run in that fabulous terrain. Give the rest of the team my best wishes.
Go go go! :) Good luck in all your races.
Aw, thanks! It’s really nice to know that people are watching and cheering for us :) The long today was a fun race and I’m hoping all those WETs will help with the sprint tomorrow!
It has been great following you and the rest of the team! I hope you continue with orienteering!! Cheers and best wishes always from Nova Scotia!
Great Job! Good luck with your upcoming races!
You’re still my favorite! It’s been lots of fun watching, and good luck in the relay :)

Hi Carol, Looks like you had a fun week. I love the photo of that Adrian sent out that showed you climbing up to a control point above the gadzillion spectators! See you real soon in Canada and have fun in the relay.
Bonne chance Carol pour toutes tes courses au Woc2011
Run run….
