Orienteering race 31:21 *** 4.14 km (7:35 / km) +38m 7:15 / km
ahr:147 max:170 spiked:16/17c shoes: VJ Falcons 9
WMOC Middle Final, M65B: 3.6k, 70m, 1:7500 with 2.5m interval. On Tisvilde Hegn map, south of where we were yesterday and using the same arena. More contour and vegetation detail in this area, so quite appropriate for Middle distance. Course was very good - lots of short legs where often the “straight on compass” route wasn’t the best.
A really good run, with some hesitations and probably 20 or 30 seconds lost on the third control when I swung wide to avoid vegetation and took a bit to figure out where I was. Got caught by the guy who started a minute behind and was pulled along for several controls. Did my own navigating but he was faster so usually helped into the controls and certainly kept me moving along.
Finished 8th!! (of 84 in the B final), 3:41 behind the leader. Could hardly believe that. And, because of a rather complex promotion/relegation scheme in effect, I QUALIFIED FOR THE A FINAL IN THE LONG!!! So I’ll be running with the (really) fast guys on Friday - should be interesting.

WMOC Forest Qualifier on Tisvilde Hegn map at 1:7500 with 2.5m interval. M65-4 heat: 5.6k, 70m. Similar terrain to yesterday’s model. Lots of very fast woods and trails but complex trail networks and enough vegetation to limit visibility when you needed it most (i.e. near controls). Contours are subtle. A couple of areas with remnants of logging which were mapped as white woods, which was a bit confusing, plus some long ditches which were unmapped (Edit, after seeing the map: ditches are mapped but with what looks very much like an index contour, except that they cross other contours - didn’t notice that on the run. Perhaps an ISOM2017 change?)
An OK run, a decent result, but just short of making the A final. Ended up 21st in the heat with the top 16 making the A final. But only 40 seconds behind 16th. And had an error of almost 3 minutes, so could have easily made it - of course I’m sure everyone else also made mistakes (WinSplits “time without mistakes” calculation puts me in 23rd place). 8:47 behind the fastest in the heat.
Lost nearly 3 minutes on control 4 which was a small one-contour reentrant in some vegetation. Missed on the bearing and failed to read the vegetation well. Also lost a minute on control 8 by cutting in early and then chasing another bag. Overshot 9 but looked back and saw it. Got caught at 9 by the guy who started 6 minutes behind me, so had racing company the rest of the way in. Outran him in the (175m long) chute. :-)

Orienteering (Model Event) 48:56 *** 3.81 km (12:50 / km) +45m 12:07 / km
ahr:95 max:129 shoes: VJ Falcons 9
Model event at Tisvilde Hegn, the area being used for the Forest Qualifier race tomorrow and the Middle Final on Wednesday. Subtle contour detail (2.5m interval), lots of trails (and lots of herd paths if you’re there late in the day), and fairly good visibility. Visited all 13 controls. Jogged some between controls but also stopped at time to study things. Nice day - sunny and low 70s.

WMOC Sprint Final on København map, M65B (2.4k, no climb stated). Area is the central area of Copenhagen with several canals, lots of buildings with passageways into and out of courtyards, some old fortifications, and the finish and arena at Christiansborg Slot. A fun course with some challenging legs but also a couple which caused me to do a double-take because they were too straightforward. Started about the middle of the M65B start window shortly after noon. Sunny and in the 70s.
A good run. Sloppy out of the start heading off down the wrong path for 5 or 10 meters then doubling back, probably costing 10 sec. Big error on 2 when I had trouble deciphering the map so just headed back to the start triangle from which 2 was pretty straightforward but that was a very sub-optimal route choice, which cost about 40 seconds (and about 15 places). Had good route choices and hit the rest of the controls fine. Finished 29 out of ~82 in M65B, 1:26 behind the fastest time, so pretty satisfied with that.

WMOC Sprint Qualification at DTU Science Park in Hørsholm. M65-4 heat, 2.6k, 20m (measured as shortest possible route). Small errors on 5 controls: 1, 2, 10, 14 and 16. Largest error was about 30 seconds on 16 and total errors probably in the 1:00 to 1:20 range. Finished 24th in the heat, good enough to make the B Final (first 16 went to the A Final). Sunny and 25C so on the warm side for running.
