Orienteering race 1:45:42 [3] *** 8.06 km (13:07 / km)
19c shoes: Jala X-Controls sz 9.5
Fin 5 Day 5 H40A
I was feeling the couple of weeks of orienteering in my tired legs. There were some rocky areas that I found to be difficult to run in. Was sloppy early in the race, and dropped 5 minutes on control #6. I kept trying to infer where I was from a sandy area that I could see. I could also see a hill that I had visited earlier. Unfortunately, I couldn't triangulate on the control. Found out in the post race review, that the sandy area I was looking at was not what I thought it was, so that explained everything. Finally found the control by carefully attacking from that known hill. Should have done it much earlier.
placing: 50/53 winner: 57:58

Orienteering race 1:34:00 [3] *** 8.78 km (10:42 / km)
13c shoes: Jala X-Controls sz 9.5
Fin 5 Day 3 H40A
Was giving someone a ride to Helsinki, so I had to have a decent race for us to leave on time. Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle on the way to #3 which made me lose my concentration and blow it big time. Of course, #3 was at the opposite corner of the map from the finish, so I got a couple more controls (#4 was quite fun, 600-700m with no trials) on the way out to the road, then jogged in.

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.
