Sunny 5℃.
MWC 2, Paalberg. Distance 8,2km (6'43"/km).
Map.
Splits.
Overnight it snowed, so everything was covered in a nice 3-4cm of snow. Map print was not good at all, too light and very hard to read.
Had planned to keep the pace down and I did. Felt comfortable all the way. Hard to focus well on navigating though, because I wasn't in a racing mindset and took things a bit careless.
Not having fun in the first bit when I couldn't read the map and the forest was covered in brambles. Made several mistakes there. Much better once the route got to the open sunny area.
Right knee was really stiff and hurting at some point (around 19), but that feeling disappeared after the finish. No problems while cooling down. No idea why it suddenly came up, but I'll watch it. Might be the cold, the snow or the fact I was running in a much different way through the terrain as opposed to on the road. Toe was fine in orienteering shoes.
