Running warm up/down 10:00 [3] 15.0 km (40 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
Orienteering race 1:39:56 [5] *** 16.8 km (5:57 / km)
spiked:26/30c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
Rank: 49/1256 (leg) 87/1256 (team)
After a so so team effort before me I headed out as 97. I felt right from the start that this was one of my worst days physically. Felt tired from the start and my legs were in no mood at all to run fast :(
Started off OK the first controls and then made a smaller mistake at the 9th (1'+) and then a really stupid route to the 15th control (1'). Got a bit distracted by some insect that bit me on the way to the 16th control and got a little bit of and went to far down on the hill (1'). After that no mistake bigger than 15" except some problems when trying to go straight instead of taking a path around. Ended up going parallel to the path and lost 30"+ :(
Overall an ok effort from my side. But loosing 14' to the top runners is way to much. Maybe standing and walking in the sun the whole day before wasn't the best preparation. It felt quite ok during the training in the days before so I was a little bit surprised by the total lack of speed.
Note: Stupid rules about not being able to wear GPS-watches :(

Spectator at Venla relay. Maybe not the best preparation for the race, but this was the best available entertainment. It was also quite interesting...
