Note
I think split times for the twelfth control here are worth checking.
Mission accomplished. That one, anyway.

trail run warm up/down 15:00 [3]
orienteering 39:16 [3]
16c
Enenracet
Rushed to make it to the start only to arrive with ten minutes to 'spare'. Felt good.
First control was easy, and fine. Second control I was a little left, had to correct, not particularly good, but not much time lost, 15s?
3rd control, well, that was pretty terrible. Ran in straight line from control, checked compass, all good, except apparently I was 30º off. Took a while to get back on the proper track, did a big C. Nearly 2 minutes?
4th, good good good, then lost contact and direction a little, was 50m right from where I expected, but corrected. Decent.
5 fine
6 messy, 20s?
7, 15s, got a bit confused when I saw a control at a crag because there was no crag on the map becasue there wasn't really a crag in reality, just a side of a knoll.
8. ok
9 ok, slight zigzag, but under control
10, ok, didn't have a good plan though. Found it before Thierry did.
11 And then ran off fast in the direction of 11, and then got overtaken
12 wheeeeeeeeee
13 wheeeeeeeeeeeee
14 wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze 100m after 13, I figured I'd better look at the map... worked out I was on the way to 14, got myself located, and all was good, running fine again, except messed up the end 20s.
15 ok, nothing special
16 not the toughest...
Fun times, technical terrain, quite flat and subtle, not much by way of helpful contours. And since I have trouble with the magnetic yoke...
And I won the challenge by getting fastest split on 12!!!!
Fun times after too, met a Canadian bundle of joy, lunch in Enköping with the gang, then games and chat in Uppsala. I won at Carcassonne (4 points in front of third!), second last at 7W (but would have been second if I'd taken a legal card instead of the illegal card), got crushed at blokus and ate lots of tasty food.
