Long in the Oaks. Very steep ravine terrain, with some serious contour running to avoid climb as much as possible. After the strange short first control, crossed the ravine, followed the trail and climbed up to the man made object. Had the fastest split on this leg as those who took a lower route got stuck in the ravine crossings. Going in to 3, hesitated a bit almost heading out on the wrong spur to the left before correcting. The long leg down to 6 was my worst and where I lost the race. No control mistake, but very non-aggressive running and weak execution. Climbing up to 6 from the bottom of the ravine was probably one of my most steep climbs in orienteering. Clawed myself up the bank, cramp-ons would have helped... Lost 2 minutes to Jonas on this leg. A few more 30 second mistakes on 10, 12 and 13, but everyone had some of those. Third place, 1:37 behind fellow Swede Jonas Kjäll.
A great weekend of orienteering and sightseeing in San Francisco in absolute summer weather in mid-November!
