Long distance of Norwegian Spring today.

The terrain was very much about the same type as yesterday, with rather open forests. The southern part was even faster with lot of nice bare rocks. It was once more about finding the best runnability, while mostly trying to stay in close contact with the red line.

It seems I had a little bit more to give physically compare to yesterday, and also find the good lines in the terrain without significant mistake. Actually, my biggest time lost came when I broke my compass with the magnifier glass. Then, I opened my back pocket to get my spare one, but by some magic movement, the compass got literally ejected from my pant. I stopped for a while to find it, but never succeed and finished without compass. WOC lesson nr83 : Be soft when you take out from your pant your spare compass, or bring 3 compasses.

Took part to Norwegian Spring middle distance, organized a couple of kilometres away from Halden.

Not too sure if it was super relevant for WOC this summer, but another interesting experience. Mostly a very open terrain today which made the navigation rather simple. But in such case, it is all about being extra sharp as it is a hard fight to catch back every lost second. Had a pretty clean technical performance, but there are still a lot of places where I am not running on the optimal routes. Still in the beta-phase…
