Orienteering long 1:55:19 [3] ***** 17.03 km (6:46 / km)
ahr:145 max:158 spiked:21/25c (injured) shoes: VJ Integrator 2006

Team Trials, Day 3, Classic/Long.

Official distance 12.89km.

Another complicated terrain with heavy navigation. Started slowly, missed a little bit #1, messy route to #3, small bubble near #7. First long leg to #9 stayed on the trail (right option), but missed the point when it turned ... Lost time near #14 (probably 30-45sec.) and #23.

In general, I could not run full speed. I really enjoyed all 3 days of Team Trials. New and very complicated terrain.

Day 3: Blue - Splits

Trail-Grass Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 3 km (10:00 / km)

Warmup before race.

Orienteering race 47:12 [4] ***** 7.03 km (6:43 / km) +240m 5:44 / km
ahr:153 max:165 spiked:10/16c (injured) shoes: VJ Integrator 2006

Team Trials, Day 2, Middle.

Official distance 5.54km.

Preview of competition map didn't promise an easy orienteering. I never ran in such terrain, very complicated. Really bad route to #1, lost some time near #2, bad route to #3 and #4. Then it was better for several controls. Again, bad route to and near #8, missed a bit #9, absolutely dumb execution of #11. Too many mistakes ...

Trail-Grass Running warm up/down 45:00 [2]
shoes: VJ Integrator 2006

Long warmup before sprint.

Orienteering race (Sprint) 16:16 [4] **** 3.22 km (5:03 / km) +65m 4:35 / km
ahr:164 max:174 spiked:12/13c (injured) shoes: VJ Integrator 2006

Team Trials, Day 1, Sprint.

Official distance 2.98km.

Well, hoped for better result. Unfortunately, I was a bit slower and mistake on the way to #1 did help at all. Then two bad route choices, #4 and #9, added vital seconds to total time.

At least I could sprint out from last control :)
