| Orienteering Meet race 1:00:00 [4] *** | |
| |
| 2 sprints and a bike O all in one afternoon at Linne Woods. First sprint went ok till I passed the 6th control hanging on a rootstock, I suppose it was in the depression... and than to a clearing in the middle of the green zone, I did hit it after searching a few other clearings not on the map.
Sprint 2 was shorter and this time I did cross the river.
The bike O was ok except I had to stop and try to figure out why the map did not make any sense. Great night and dinner out at the Pita Pit was cool. At least there were no Kebobs there. |

| Training Map walk run by Helsinki airport on Petikko Map. Taking the first 9 controls of Clarks course 4-5 years ago. This map was just as difficult as any from the fin5 or world masters, just much dryer and older map ,that does not quite have the vegatation right anymore. I was just really tired and enjoyed the easy pace navigation. |
