Run race ((orienteering)) 1:15:58 [4] *** 6.9 km (11:01 / km) +320m 8:56 / km
spiked:14/20c
More technical (and definitely rougher) than yesterday. I didn't get off to a good start, losing probably 1.00-1.15 on the first through not reading the green properly, and small wobbles also on 3 and 4. Got going a bit better after that, with conservative route choices to 7 and 8, but there was no option other than straight on the long 10th. I've made horrible messes of long legs like this before in the Nordic countries (lots of small bumps and marshes, low-vis forest, and no big features), but got this one OK, if somewhat tentatively. Thought I was finishing off all right, but once again lost time on the second-last (rather ironically, I spiked yesterday's control without recognising it, possibly slightly rattled by a recent collision with someone coming downhill). Tougher for most of the field today - my position was slightly better than yesterday. Tired at the end.
