District Night O champs in Taulu, Padasjoki. Class H35. Navigating was excellent. I had extraordinary confident feeling all the way and basically had no troubles on O. Yƶkuppi pays off. Only 30 sec on a control and on a leg I made zig zag to find a trail to lead me to next control. Maybe that was some sort of correlation to my physical fitness. I really had troubles to complete the course. Skating in the morning was too much. From control 2 to 3 I had to partly walk (had no changes to follow Hirppa. We had same control) and from 3 to 4 I mainly walked. On that leg I stopped to eat to blueberries at the same time I was thinking should I DNF (my legs were shivering/shaking?). Luckily there was no big difference on distance of going straight to finish or to run the whole course so I decided to give it a try. Somehow running started to get a bit better and I knew that I'll be able to finish the course. On the last quarter of the race I was caught by two runners who had started before me. Whatta heck? They have also had troubles. The other one who passed me by was
Veli Pulsa. Now having the district champ in my mind I had the rest of the course (like Inspector Gadget) my left eye on him and the other one on the map and terrain. :) I managed to keep margin and it was Happy end for me!
