Note
In Prague, again a city with too many tourists

Event: Venice Street O
1a. Orienteering (races) race (Venezia) 53:03 [4] *** 6.3 km (8:25 / km) +125m 7:40 / km
The world famous Venetian O-meeting.
I left home at 2.50 so not much of sleep, the night before. Arrival in Venice at 7.30, by boat to the sportscentre, that is somehow sqeezed in between the old houses. Weather was ok, nothing special, but dry and not too cold.
Start was on the other side of the Gran Canal so we were all transported by boats which was pretty well organised. There was a lot of time between the boat arrival and the actual start, so during warming up there was also time for a touristical visit to the heavily guarded monument of Salute and the church next to the start.
My start was quite good. Although the map is very unlike any other Omap - special color for crowded tourist streets :-), I could easy adjust to it and keep planning ahead. First actual problem was to find 5, but I was close enough to be saved by the beep. From the splitbrowser that I put up, I learnt that I lost a whole minute on 7, can't really say why. Maybe mapreading took more time then I thought.
After that a few more ok controls the fatigue started to work. I could still keep going on the bridges, but started to make lots of small mistakes. On the long leg to 12, it took ages before I made up my mind.
I ended 36/167, and was very satisfied with that. With a bit more training, next year M-A?

7. Walking/Hiking 1:00:00 [1] 3.0 km (20:00 / km) +75m 17:47 / km
Directly after the Venice trip, I "had" to go to Prague for a job-thing. While waiting for the night-train I made a small night-hike to the Ljubljana castle.
