Orienteering 54:48 [4] ** 6.1 km (8:59 / km)
spiked:5/10c shoes: VJ Bold 7
O-season starts!!!
LS event in Tapanila, A-course, 4,8km.
Lots of people there!
Had my new o-shoes as well since my old Integrators broke apart in Raatojuoksu and had to buy new ones. Seems good so far, no blisters even after a longish course.
Course wasn't too tricky, controls weren't too far away from paths probably because of snow. Forests weren't too snowy though but all tracks were super icy, had to go slow on downhills.
No problems to 1, 2 and 3. To 4 the uphill was a bit much! And aimed a tiny bit too left. Then 5 okay and then got confused by all the tracks. Corrected it pretty easily but then hesitated for a bit just before I saw 6.
7 okay and then I made a mistake soon after leaving the control, confused a big path for a smaller one since they pretty much looked the same with all the snow and not a lot of traffic. So made a tiny extra loop. Then had trouble finding the control too, looked for it too high. Then again trouble finding 9, I was waaay too high and got confused by the tracks as well. Routechoice to 10 wasn't great.
Had fun and runningwise I think today was pretty good although Tapanila is of course pretty easy for running since no forest running, all tracks. Course wasn't too tricky but my orienteering was not great, rusty after 5 months of no O?
