Event: Fin5
Orienteering race 1:19:44 [3] *** 6.84 km (11:39 / km)
12c shoes: Jala X-Controls sz 9.5
Fin5 Day 1 H40A
While we were in the finish chute, we could see the "runners" take off on an immediate 4 contour steep climb! Yikes! Decent run. Like Austria, not many of the controls were very far from trails. The second to last control was the most difficult requiring some detailed orienteering to find control in an area with lots of depressions and poor visibility.
placing: 49/58 winner: 45:57
map: Utranharju, Kontiolahti, near Joensuu, Finland

23c shoes: Jala X-Controls sz 9.5
World Masters B Final Men's 40
Decent run. Messed up one control for a couple of minutes, otherwise didn't make any significant errors. Again, lots of trails, but the terrain was much more complicated. The forest was more open than we thought it would be.
placing: 56/77 winner: 1:10:28
map: Witzelsberg, Weiner Neustadt (just south of Vienna), Austria

24c shoes: Jala X-Controls sz 9.5
World Masters Qualifier 2 Men's 40
An okay run, but I had couple of multi-minute mistakes. Again, many trails. At least this time I didn't stop at the go control. While I sitting there grumping about my run, my friend Ingrid walked up with her little smiling baby (Emily), it instantly put me in a good mood.
placing: 35/51 winner's time: 55:00

World Masters Qualifier 1 Men's 40
Had a pretty good run. The second leg was about 2Km! Too slow compared to the other runners, but I had fun. The many trails made it easy to get close before having to do any real navigating. Closer in, there were so many trails that it got confusing. They had a taped route to the go control, where I started walking after punching. After 12s of walking realized I had another control to get to!
placing: 38/54 winner's time: 52:43

shoes: Jala X-Controls sz 9.5
WMOC Model Event
Went out with Paula on 2 out of the 3 model maps--the one by the qualifiers and the one by the final. Heard that the third map was really green and full of nettles so we avoided that one. We practiced technique and checked out how things were mapped. Had an enjoyable time. Liked the area for the qualifiers better than the final. The final area seemed more green and much more detailed. The qualifier map was very open and runnable.
