Orienteering race 1:52:02 [3] 9.6 km (11:40 / km) +530m 9:09 / km
Long distance champs, DE 21/23. Winning time Sime 1.14.47
Had a super clean race until the very end. A couple of bubbles (15") in the control area was the largest mistake. But then I chose a bad route on the very long (25') leg at the very end. went all down and around because my brain was not able any more to see where the alternative route was up- or downhill. As I later learned, the route on the other side would have been perfect. No uphill, just downhill running and all in the cool forest. I, instead, was running in the burning sun through the village and had then to climb another 35m (mostly walking) to get to the control. Then back to the finish I went around again, this time climbing a bit more and going over the hill would have been better. Lost 4min and two positions on the result list there...
But, proud to have finished the race =)
