| This was tough. Ran too soon after breakfast, so had major stomach discomfort for the first hour or so. Settled in some kind of rythm only after 100 minutes, after which I ground it out until the end. Beautiful day, perhaps a tad too warm, but my leaking "new" camelbak knock-off kept my posterior nice and cool. |

| My second orienteering (or rather "course d'orientation") race of the year. Regional long distance championships in Camp Oberhaus, about 40 km from Strasbourg. Not a lot of good things to say about my run. I can easily count 27 minutes in mistakes. My only excuse is that plenty of non-spiked controls were legitimately bingo, with the added bonus of nothing matching up on the map.
At control 4 of 25 an Estonian guy caught up with me (I think, because I had already made about 20 minutes of mistakes by that point) and we saw each other on and off until control 20. After that I managed to get away due to him getting stuck in some nice, thorny bushes (of which there were plenty) but only beat him by about 2 minutes to the finish.
I am not really having high hopes for the WRE next Saturday...
