Orienteering race (Lidernen) 1:54:34 [4] *** 7.5 km (15:17 / km) +575m 11:03 / km
26c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #3 (CH)
Lidernen - 1:10'000 alpine map.
This map was originally going to be used for Swiss O-Week a few years ago, but which got cancelled due to mudslides. Finally got to run on it. To get to the start however was a tough 1h trek up the mountain. Didn't settle down well and probably also started dehydrated.
First few controls went okay, but I took the wrong route choice on the first long leg to #4, not going straight enough. We then had the nicest section of the course with a few alpine ponds and small glacial features. After that however, the planning wasn't so great, focusing on areas that were extremely un-runabble. We had a section of this from #11 to #13, which was then followed by the 2nd long leg. I messed the route choice up again here, first by crossing the broken limestone ground again, then crossing another large section. Very dangerous sections. After that we had a final swing through more technical terrain, but by then I was mentally out of it. I miss-punched for the first time ever in Europe at #19, where I was too tired to notice the wrong control code (out by 40m on a similar feature?). In the end, took me almost 2 hours for 7.5km!!! Winning time was only 1h18, so not brilliant either. Most of the top Swiss runners stayed away. I could probably have run about 20 mins faster on a good day.

Hiking (Kleiner Mythen) 2:00:00 [3] 4.2 km (28:34 / km)

Speed climbed the Kleiner Mythen with Coni.
Started from Brunni and jogged all the way up to Zwueschet Mythen and just beyond to the first rocks. Went over the lower peak and then onto the main summit. From there took the straight back to Brunni downhill. Great fun. About 1h+ up, then 20 min on top and 1h down.
First sunny day in a while.
