| O-RINGEN Day 4,,, Yahoooo
Finally I had a map and day where I could run and see everything. My kind of course , somewhat like Wyoming :) I finished 36th, that was my best placement for the all the events including the Fin5
This was the way I want it to go as I could not secure a ride to Stockholm after Fridays race,, so it was kinda sad to miss the last day chase start.
But nice to be heading home. |

| spiked:7/9c |
| O-RINGEN Day 3, This is more like the maps I can run on. I nailed the first control perfect, a little off on the 2nd, but relocated quick. The 3rd control and easy one, except if you go by it and miss, there is a price to pay.. One more bad control and the day was over. |
Tuesday Jul 22 |

| O-RINGEN Day 2. I started out great and totally lost contact on the 3rd control, totally!!! This was a middle event. I got back into it to only bomb more really short distance controls. Oh Well, I was under an hour at least. |

| Event: Oringen 2008

| Orienteering Meet race 1:00:35 [5] *** 4.9 km (12:22 / km) | |
| spiked:4/7c |
| O-RINGEN Day 1, Here I am in the biggest O event in the world, fully confident after the Fin5, and I have nothing to show but more sloopy orienteering. Well in the end I found all the controls at about a 12 min TPK.
Problem was drifting compass nav and poor route choices. I was shy about taking direct routes through the swamp and opted for higher safe ground. It was an amazing sight of people, tents,colorfull teams and outfits.Walking the start of the ski race Moravasaloppet 93 K classical that started in 1922 was cool, because it starts flat and climbs uphill steep 3K. |
