17/18 Ranking Event 5, Attunda OK long Rösjön, H40 7.3km (3/12)
Really fast, residential forest with many paths. Quite detailed in places but still a massive contrast from last week's Tyresta heaven.
I missed 2 by 3.5 minutes, major bummer. I could have been concentrating more but also I think I relied on the paths too much. Nothing made sense from my path junction attack point and I made it worse by not reinforcing my guesswork with the compass. Searching around way West of where I should have been followed by a fairly lenghy reloaction.
Nearing number 8 there was a climb and some tougher terrain and I didn't get my breathing right or the last remnants of my cold or something. Anyway I spent 8-10 fighting off a stitch.
Otherwise a good run, enjoyable at times. Other than 2 a good focus which led to some clever decisions at speed. A bit like sprint orienteering what with so many little paths and junctions.
