Event: Jukola 2012
 

Super easy round camping. Also went for a swim in the Baltic sea, which I thought was a lake.

Venla 2nd leg with IFK Mora. Started nearly 4min behind around 70th position. Had nearly 1.5km run till start control, so pushed pretty hard to catch some girls. Did it pretty well and entering forest cought up Zhenia from 2nd team and asked her for control number she runs. Of course it was different, so continued my own navigation. Did it a bit scrappy - at one point didnt really know where I am, but somehow realized control is already behind me, so turned back and saw a control flag which was my control!!! It was cool to see on GPS where I was actually going, coz I got it soo wrong, but somehow managed to go to the right direction and got lucky!
The rest was quite ok- didnt lose map control, though wasnt running the best route choices but was doing it pretty quick, so was ok. On the long leg got passed by SNO Katarina Borg (46yo), so sticked to her as she was moving in the right pace for me. Another 45''-30'' miss came in the end on easy track part where girls went straight thought the forest instead using tracks - I just hanged on them being afraid to drop the pace, stupid me.
In general I was nearly happy with my run - inspite two 45-30'' misses - at least I didnt lose any time to leaders. My leg time was 14th 2.30 down to Heini Wenmann. Also turned out it was the best run of my team which ment we got overtaken by our 2nd team!!
