Open 8 at the competition in Tullinge, south of Stockholm. Started a bit confused and lost 30 sec both to 1 and 2, then better until 7 where I couldn't find a good route, stuck in green, steep hills, marshes and slash and lost 45 sec even though I nailed the control. Better would have been to cross the green right away and take a left route in nicer terrain. Pretty good for the rest. Was a tough race in rough forests, much greener in terrain than map showed, plus steep hills. Won by 1 min.

C • Learning O in Sweden 3

Another "course of the week" training, this time Ryssbergen Västra, in the rain for the first time in a month. Old map where clear-cuts on the map were now dense green and plenty of new unmapped clear-cuts. Nice up on the hills though!

Club champs night-O in extreme flat terrain. Hello compass! Took the long route around to 1 to get into it and then the compass bearings started with a boulder in all-flat nothingness to 2. Little trouble at 4 losing 30 sec and then well until 5, but then took a bad route to 6 where I got stuck in green and lost 1:30 even though I nailed the control. No other bigger problems. The forest was very open and most of the reflectors where hung high so it was not as hard is it could have been. Won H40 by 5 sec to Henrik A. Beat him by 1 sec in the district champs Long, so he is getting a bit pissed ;)
