Orienteering race (Middle) 34:24 [3] 3.0 km (11:28 / km) +75m 10:12 / km

Meh. It was okay, but I wasn't as focused as should have been.

I was too low going to 6 and I was too high going to 7. I completely messed up 9 as well, because it was right after the spectator control and I saw the finish and turned off my brain. I just stopped reading my compass. But overall it was decent.

Oh, I took a hard fall going to 7 and cracked my Garmin watch pretty badly. Or so I thought. Luckily I had a glass screen protector on and that's what cracked/shattered.

Orienteering race (Sprint) 19:41 [4] 2.7 km (7:17 / km) +50m 6:40 / km

This race made me almost like sprints. I'm not used to having a technical sprint and I really enjoyed it. Other than 5 and sort-of 15, I managed to not make any real mistakes mostly because I read my control descriptions religiously.

Going to 5, I thought I could sneak between a wall and cliff, but it turned out it was just a steep mud slope, so I turned around and ran up and around.

15 wasn't really a mistake, but I lost some seconds running the wrong way. It was under an overhang and I briefly started to run for the top of the overhang when I realized my mistake.

My knee and hip felt fine while I was running, but afterward, I really started to feel my hip.
