Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.5 km (10:00 / km)
1.5km walk/run to teh start. True Swedish style.
Orienteering race (Long Dist.) 1:17:30 [4] **** 7.47 km (10:22 / km) +220m 9:03 / km
I thought that long courses were supposed to be easier nav, but lots of route choice? This was more like middle distance technical and nearly NO route choice. The woods were super thick with leafy saplings, making it next to impossible to see more than 10 feet in front of you. (like kristoffer said, it's like a night-o). Hardly any use of trails, only two sections of maybe 600m each. otherwise the rest was barreling through these thick woods, where some tings were mapped and others weren't...again, very frustrating. Legs were tired, but since it's a "long" I took it a bit easier than yesterday and felt fine for the whole race.
no huge nav errors, just really really hesitant on most of the legs due to inability to see features in the leafy green-ness.
