Trail Running 16:00 [1] 2.5 km (6:24 / km)
shoes: Salomon 3D S-Lab Red #1
Went for an easy morning jog on the walking paths to the east of the hotel to loosen up before this afternoon's race. Surprisingly, I felt pretty good given the last few days of tough racing. No overly sore body parts to complain about.

WOC Long DIstance Qualifier
I had a latish start time, which meant I would again be running the last part of the course without any other orienteers around.
Got off to a decentish start. First 3 controls were in the green, but I didn't make too many problems for myself, maybe being slightly hesitant once or twice. Can't work out if I had the better route choice to #3 or not, but it did give me a great exit to out of the control to start the long leg to #4 (very happy seeing this route choice).
Got passed by Kiril on this long leg, so also very happy that it took him so long to catch the 2 minutes he started behind me. Didn't take the optimal route out of #5, instead spent too much time trying to climb / contour to the central marsh. May have lost 30s to 45s. Much better for the rest of the leg though, with Smola passing me towards the end.
Hit 6 & 7 good. Slightly too right to #8, where I was still 24th position. Thereafter I started sliding down the field. Took the wrong route to #11 (should have gone north along the marshes - 2 min mistake). Then okay to the next long leg where I should have run around on the path (another 1 minute - didn't see the option). Final few controls were okay, but I was lacking the speed.
So, in total about 4 minutes of mistakes, 3 of them pure poor route choice planning. Finished 28th (would have been 27th without mistakes), which was disappointing placing wise. Time was surprisingly fast though and my world ranking points are the highest ever (by 1 point!). Still haven't broken that elusive 1000 point mark though.
That's the end of WOC now. Only a few spectator races to do.
No HRM data.
