2005 - 1st leg 3rd team [place 193]. My time was 7.48 back leader.
2004 - 1st leg 3rd team. I think I was about 4 mins behind Stina who was about 2 mins back the leaders.

Tiomila last leg. You had to stay in constant contact with the map. There was not a lot of route choice, but there was a lot of parallel features if you did not pay attention. For me, the orienteering went well. I had one, lack of focus - going to a control I knew was not mine - on one control, and then a not optimal route choice near the end of the race. I was moving well before the map exchange, but just felt slow in the legs after the map exchange. Frustrating to not have performed better for my team and my club, but I was happy with my contact with the map.

Woods intervals while reading Tiomila map training course.
Two rounds of intervals (approx. 4 mins) with 1 min rest - 5 interval sets with one extra round.
