High alpine orienteering at Silberenalp, part of the 'Swiss O Days mountain OL experience' - events in really cool mountain locations with simple organisation (just 5 courses, print you own control descriptions, print you own map for the way to the start, cancelled if weather is bad). For this one we had to hike 5.5km to the arena and then back again after so it was a long but absolutely beautiful day out. The most fun I've had orienteering in ages, lovely terrain and landscape.

I chose the longest course and aimed to be efficient so as not to do too much unnecessary distance or climb, legs were already sore before I started from yesterday's run.. Technically pretty good except totally lost contact on the way to #4. Tried to map memorise and look ahead in the terrain as much as possible to be a bit faster in the rough terrain. Physically held up ok actually, walked some steep hills and literally crawled up in some places. On the downhills I felt invincible! Just so much fun :)

This is the start of my O season this year ;) In the next few months there are a lot of really cool alpine events, culminating with the world cup in Grindelwald which I want to do really well at.

Was the fastest(only) girl but pretty happy with my placing among the boys too, though 2mins faster would've been nice ;)

Hike to and from the event with Tobias. Man I was so knackered on the way back.
