orienteering race 48:00 [4] 4.2 km (11:26 / km) +160m 9:36 / km
Bohemia 5 days - day 4
Pretty hot today. I started late in the full heat, had to wet my shirt in a cold creek before the start. Some hilly rocky ravines and some classic czech terrain with various vegetation. Did not have energy to run the whole thing, but did well in the navigation beside one control where I was not confident and stopped thinking I am lost even if I was right on the line....hm, after that I was slow and lazy. Looking at the splits I was in the lead (what?) on #7. Need to get more fit and learn to ignore the heat. Ended up in the 3 rd position. Every day a spot up. I need a ten day O-event. Will start 4th in the chase start.
It suppose to be even more hot tomorrow...
I believe there is a route gadget somewhere.

orienteering 44:00 [3] 3.0 km (14:40 / km) +150m 11:44 / km
Bohemia 5 Days- day 3
Very different terrain, small ravines, ridges, green vegetation and some deadfall. Finally got the early start time, went slow but clean beside two controls where I was just not paying attention and started my idea: just go into the ravine, find some big object, figure out where you are and continue to the control.... lazy me! At least used the compass which did not make me completely lost. Finished 5th, every day a spot better! Yes, and visited all my controls, not like someone here beside me..... he is pretty upset about his MP.
Pretty tired now. Let's see if we can do one more day.

orienteering 56:00 [3] 4.0 km (14:00 / km) +170m 11:33 / km
Bohemia 5 days - day 2
Very hilly course in the ravines. Still not sure about the right way to #6, lost some time at the last controls again, somehow never have energy to keep it together all the way. Had fun! Just need to be more fit! 6th position, it is getting hot here! I always start in the middle of the hot day, Magnus starts early....

orienteering race 44:00 [3] 3.4 km (12:56 / km) +150m 10:36 / km
Bohemia 5 days - day 1
the goal of the day was to jog, have fun and not to get the pain in my knee back.
It went ok, had to climb some pretty crazy places and descend ravines which I do not consider runnable. Holding on a little branch couple of times, Made some small mistakes towards the end in the "easy" terrain, not using my compass well. Slow, but goal accomplished. 8th position in D35A
