Tough day at Hungaria Cup - short classic and 9km, so was expecting max 1hr holiday orienteering. First 4 controls didn't hint at what was to come! Steep slippery banks (very steep), cliffs everywhere, mostly green and bushy, very very steep gullies everywhere, controls with no 'good' route choices. I have never ended a race so dirty! Scrambling up and down 15m deep gullies with very little to hold on too - thunderstorms last night certainly didnt help the clay-like soil! Very difficult to keep the waterproof map legible. Finished the course with a massive grin after 87 minutes, and was the only person under 10 mins per km.

Tomorrow is a 'standard' classic - how long will that one take?

Roasting hot in Hungary! 35 degrees plus every day. Done a bit of running/melting and looking forward to the Hungaria Cup starting tomorrow
