What race are you looking forward to in 2019?
Team trials in Harriman State Park and hopefully the WOC Long distance!
What is your favorite orienteering event that you have done so far?
Jukola 2016 with a team (almost) completely from Ottawa! Between the mud and the mosquitos, it was one of the most interesting orienteering experiences in my life.
Which map in Canada do you think all orienteers have to try at least once?
Lewes Lake, used for the NAOC Middle Distance. The mix of positive and negative topography made for some really interesting navigation.
How do you normally prepare for an important race?
Focus on getting in the zone mentally. Going over in my head my plan for the race, what types of I’m going to focus on. Chug 6 energy gels, blast Nic Manfredi, send it.
What do you like to do outside of orienteering?
I like cross country skiing, biking, hiking, canoeing, and camping. When I’m not outside I like listening to cool music and I’m a big fan of Marvel movies and TV shows!
