Trail run 12:46 [2] 1.54 km (8:18 / km) +29m 7:35 / km
Running with Lisa and Sam to the start, near Håga. My battery was charged tonight, but I discovered that the plastic headmount was cracked and broken from where I fell on it, on Tuesday. Everything swathed in duct tape.
orienteering 1:03:50 [4] 6.07 km (10:31 / km) +29m 10:17 / km
Trying to be reasonable, and trying to listen to good advice (given by Boris months ago), so I signed up for the middle course since the training was advertised as being very difficult. I had great fun, and orienteered about as normal, so some good things and some bad.
Heading out across white empty space, even during a night-o, does not bother me so much, so I was not too perturbed by the map but I did spend a little time stopped short, still in the white space, hunting around on a hill too early. That would have been avoided if I could see the whole map. I think my compass direction was good, but my distance estimation needed more help.
Also, near the end of the course, my duct tape failed and my headlamp became truly irritating. Getting it to stay on my head required tying the straps in a funny way and that made wearing it uncomfortable and made the angle that the beam shone totally bogus.
