Event: 2. Nationaler Langdistanz / Jugendcup
 

National O-Meet near Basel. It had not much to do with orienteering but more a cross-country or trail race in steep terrain with occasional controls right or left of the trail in the slope. Twice we had to cross steeply down (I mean steeply!!) on very short legs but then it was along the slopes again. Not my kind of "orienteering". I just lose too much time and W65 is a very competitive class. First, I was proud of my 38 min finish, but then when I saw that I came in only 12th out of 19 I was disappointed. This was not much fun.
But seeing people again was fun as I haven't orienteered much this year.

Jogging from the gondola to the start uphill and coming back up from the finish to the gondola.
Forgot my Garmin today (!), but I also had to leave by 7 am this morning!

There is also another 2 km walk plus some climb from the school to the base of the gondola and back, so more walking/jogging than the actual orienteering course!! But it was a beautiful day.
