Solid qualification, only bigger mistake to #13 where I took the wrong route choice (+12'').

SM-sprintti A-finaali

Close from the best sprint race so far - but only close. Not sure what I've been thinking on the way to #20 (most likely nothing...), losing 40''+ there and another 15'' with taking the wrong route to #22. Well, taking home the good points: leading after control #19 and still just steps behind Olav on the long leg.

SM-viesti, 1. osuus

Hyvää! Minor mistake to #1 but afterwards clean navigation and suddenly leading the big group on legs to 5-6-7. Stepping back a bit and eventually catching Kuuka on the way to #13 who ran away a bit after #9. Had the chance to win the leg, being together with the latter winner on the path towards #15 but took a bit too much risk on the last meters. Should have waited for the finish line, but one is always wiser after the race. Good performance by everyone of the LS-37 team.

Nuuksvaara, skiping the long way to the start

Beauty of a terrain, partly a bit green than on the map (e.g. 9-10)

Some of the bare rock areas have been rather stony, great terrain anyway.

Syöte-Suunnistus 2018 Pitkämatka
