orienteering 1:10:51 [5] 10.31 km (6:52 / km) +97m 6:34 / km
UOF Cup race number 6 . A mass start, forked, night race.
The forest is really quite thick and running straight on a compass is a challenge here at night. Constantly spitting out pine needles as branch after branch hits you in the face kind of running. I was never running with the group tonight, not making enough sense of the map at that kind of speed, tried to push the running where possible though. Was pretty discouraged at how hard it was to navigate, but looking back at the GPS track I wasn't doing so badly. Stopped short a few times, and also got blatantly way lost once too, relocating at night in these vague contours is a special skill.
