Orienteering race 43:30 7.83 km (5:33 / km) +120m 5:10 / km
shoes: Saucony Endorphine Racer 2
2. Nationaler OL Sprint
That's what I call a BAD JOKE! Selection race for elite and juniors, technical delegates and all the stuff and the whole results in trap fences and way too long winning times. Of course, eventually it's my mistake to not see the aritificial fence on the way to #10 (losing 40" there and a few more to #13, position 6-7 would have been easily possible). Then again, why didn't they draw them just a biiiiit bigger. They are placed there to create some route choices and not to let runners run into traps, aren't they? Or what about the one at controls #26, which basically is part of the control circle?! And is it really too hard to measure the actual running distance for such an high level race? Missing the 12-15min winning time a sprint should have by 2 minutes (even more considering the junior classes) is quite embarrassing. Enough said, let's hope a few people got some 'lessions learned' today!
