Discussion: Racing

You are racing well! Very cool to see. Your speed in the woods seems very good, and your orienteering looked very smooth on the GPS, except for the bobbles in the circle that you mentioned.

Thanks. There's always room for improvement, but I haven't run many races (as technically challenging) better than that. Which is both good and bad ;)

Finns need to get out more - hardly anyone in my final had ranking pts before the race, it seems - http://iofranking.osport.ee/iofranking/ResultsView...

Actually, all sorts of funny things in the rankings from SM - http://iofranking.osport.ee/iofranking/Calendar

Winner of B2 final got more points than everyone except Pasi in the A final. Even 2nd in B2 got more points than most in B1. Winner of B4 more pts than all in B1. etc.

With that pace, Anttonen would've been 15th in A-final. In Finnish ranking system, his B2 points would've made it to 12th position in A. So Finnish ranking seems to work quite fine.
