| Back from a hectic and not so stress-releasing vacation. I didn't have the time to do as much football, orienteering and running as I expected and there were a lot of other things I didn't do (bathroom tiling, garden gates, going to the outer archipelago at least once, sailing, ...)
Nonetheless, I felt I had to do at least one o-session before the 43. Only one real boom but some trouble with the fine-o and control picking, partly related to an over-detailed map and a course that made the most out of that.
I do not understand were orienteering is going (in this country?). I remember a time when the number of controls equaled the length of the course in km + 1 or 2. Now we're up to something like 3 times the length in km. I do not care so much for evening trainings like this but this seems to be the case also in real events. It has been some time since I was presented with a real route-choice option. Must have been in the NAOC...
I'm in bad shape, but at least I feel no pain (for the moment) anywhere, and that's probably good! |
