Jukola leg 6. All day and night Saturday had been very wet and everything in the team tent was getting soaked so the whole jukola experience was not going to plan. However shuoc team 2 was performing beyond expectations so headed out over 2 hrs ahead of the final mass start rather than within it. Couldn't save Rob from the same fate though. Big time loss on 1, didn't have good strategy to deal with all the elephant tracks and went to a wrong fork first. After that could actually orienteer for a few km and got back in the game. From around 8 or 9 tracking built up again so navigation became more about picking the one that matched the route choice which mostly worked apart from another wrong fork incident at 13 (more distance but less time cf #1, also a couple of small in circle misses at 7 and 21. Kept pushing hard all the way but started to really struggle from 15 which I guess was about the 2 hour/10 km mark so not so surprising. A real battle which explains the post race breakdown that entertained my teammates but I'm actually really happy with how it went

Event: Jukola 2016
 

Map walk. Not particularly focused so I guess a certain amount of wandering in circles was inevitable

Wet today but found some terrain worth getting soaked for!

Local club event at kalajarvi. Wet but fun

Details and accuracy to follow when I have WiFi and my notes in the same place
