| I haven't been doing huge volume, but the marsh orienteering is really taking it out of me. I'm tired most of the time these past weeks. I guess my body will adapt in a few weeks. |

Nice course, technical orienteering on the hill-tops, nice amount of climb to get up onto the hills...
and I failed miserably. First control I got well, second I wobbled a little, third I was being stupid, didn't need to make a mistake, fourth I didn't understand until after finding the flag, and even then...
the short fifth I got ok, sixth i zigzagged, 7 was easy, 8 i got ok, 9 too, 90% of it was path-running though. By then it was getting dark and I had 20 minutes left... so I skipped ten, got eleven more or less ok, messed up twelve and ran back to the car, skipping 13-16.
Fantastik.
The car was surrounded by swarms of mosquitos. Rather strangely they didn't seem to be overly hungry. I got eaten but not badly.
Took a long time to get home. I was tired. Zzz. |

There was a map exchange thanks be to flying spaghetti monster. The first twelve controls I maybe did one and a half controls well. Then we flipped the map. The next control I was slow but safe across a detailed rough hilltop. The one after I got overtaken by Ravinen bald guy but punched just before. Then I started orienteering a little. One slight zigzag on the next but still met up with Ravinen again at the control... The next leg was long. I followed for the first 500m, then we were running along an unmapped trail, which eventually became a mapped trail. It wasn't really going the direction I wanted to go, so I headed off the trail to the right and into the unknown. This is usually where I start doing silly things, but happily I saw Ravinen guy crossing my line just behind me a minute later... kept forcing... went stupidly off-line the last hundred metres, but kept good speed and corrected immediately. Punched just behind Rav. Nex control was straightforward. The next control Rav threw himself immediately into the brashings, I stayed high on the runnable white as long as possible, then got stuck in the brashings myself. Miserable time, but when I came out I was only 30m back... I let him run away from me, got the control ok, then went offline on the final, nineteenth control...
nice to run better/faster towards the end. Should have started earlier :)
