Orienteering race 47:44 [5] 6.7 km (7:07 / km)
125/351. +8.47
Last year I was fast but made like 10 minutes mistakes, this year I was pretty slow but made no mistakes. My goal was do a clean run so I'm satisfied. Starting in the 5th row with a number 253 is a bitch because there really was no chance to get though the cattle herd. I was pushing people out of my way and passing people off-road from right and left but I was still forced to "jog" with the pack. So I lost some time in the start and missed the faster trains. In the beginning I was just doing my own run and pretty much tried to ignore the other people. I was making my own route choices and ran almost alone in some parts. The second half of the course I was running in a little group and was suffering a bit but not too much. It was a busy week and I think the lack of sleep made my legs a bit heavy. So definitely not the best day physically, but I passed quite many people in the finish "sprint" anyway.
