| first leg in relay. There was a hassle at the first post and quite surprisingly I must have done well at that stage. Unknowingly I seem to have been close to the lead about halfways, before I messed it up.
Same area as yesterday, less physically demanding (enough anyway) More and trickier controls. No disaster but could have come through much better. Well, team dq anyway. |

| Orienteering race 1:23:37 [3] 7.6 km (11:00 / km) | |
| spiked:10/12c |
| regional champs, i.e. in our case "National Lingual Minority Champs". These were absolutely one of the hihglights of my past "real" career and it is still a very cosy and friendly event.. race was held in a difficult and laborous area close to Helsinki and all times got surprisingly long.
I'm still suffering from a cold and generally out of shape. Race was a little so-so, I missed simple post as the terrain suddenly got much more diffuse and I wasn't able to see the best route to another post. Very tired at the end. Time terrible but place 8/24 OK.
The course was probably the best I've ran since NAOC. |

| Still recovering from the cold and from not having run one meter since 43. Really difficult evening. I came straight from a meeting chaired by a former prime minister, but that shouldn't have added any discomfort. I'm just out of shape. |
