M21E 16.1km 580m, WRE
13th of 28 including 9 dnf
Brutal day, proper full-on classic distance.
The Finnish team decided to skip it so won by Nick B in 128mins.
A few smallish mistakes but mostly just a survival battle to keep going to the finish. Two very tough hilly physical loops near the end once we were tantalisingly near the finish.
Dave hit the wall and was cramping so had to stop at #27 (of 31), frustratingly near the end. Martin had trouble with a vague clearing at #16 which meant I caught him at #18, we were together for a while and then I gradually pulled away after #22, certainly neither of us moving at any great speed by then!
Pleased to finish :)

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 3.0 km (8:20 / km)
shoes: Inov8 x-talon
Orienteering race 1:05:47 [4] 8.71 km (7:33 / km) +167m 6:54 / km
ahr:137 max:153 shoes: Inov8 x-talon
H21E 5.8km, 30 controls
19th of 30
Kept it together fairly well in the tricky terrain until near the end, then totally awol at #24, ran up the wrong valley and looking in amongst the wrong rock pillars. Came out to relocate on the path, did that wrong as was rather further from the correct location than expected...
In the end lost 9.5mins and a decent result, probably 6th or 7th turned into 19th there.
A few other scrappy bits costing maybe 4-5 mins so not perfect otherwise, would however have struggled to do Dave's 48mins (4th)
Winner Oli-Markus Taivenen 42mins
Nick B 58 and Martin 63 not covering themselves in glory either.
