Orienteering race 1:35:08 [2] 13.36 km (7:07 / km) +165m6:42 / km shoes: VJ Integrator 09
Jukola! 1st leg: (440/1456) total: 248 - Results - Map Ok run but a bit disappointing. I started out fast to pass as many runners before entering the forest. This was difficult due to the narrow start setup. The route to the first two controls was maybe not ideal but I was reading the map very carefully because I did not see a clear train to follow and the runners were running back and forth.
I ran ok until the 9th control where I first hit the wrong control and it took me roughly 2' to relocate and find the control (almost 100 places lost...509->599). The next controls were not too good either, no big mistakes but just very unsure and small mistakes. Probably because I tried to pass other runners I was distracted from reading the map properly. After the second radio (still rank 598) I started to orienteer by myself, strangely it felt as if all the other runners had gone away. The rest of the course I could catch up 180 places...

Running from our house to a boulder across the bay and back.
Climbing (bouldering) 20:00 [0]
Bouldering on a boulder across the bay and on a small cliff above the water. On the cliff we tried a nice traverse and both fell twice into the water...
Moving close to the Jukola Center, we found a nice place to stay in small huts owned by Fins who hardly speak a word other than Finnish. Nice people but makes communication difficult.
