Enjoyed this sprint qualifying race in a business park. But bummed out later on when I found out I finished in 17th place in my heat and they took the first 16 for the A final. I was only 4 seconds behind the guy in front of me! I was ahead of him at the 3rd last control by 3 seconds. He caught up to me at the 2nd last control and we were also tied at the last control. Then he ran 4 seconds faster than me in the chute.

Event: World Masters Orienteering Championships 2018
 

Indoor orienteering at a fancy and architecturally interesting high school in Nærum near Farum (the event center for WMOC). Very tricky and great fun but as Christina mentions in her log, obviously a lot of work to organize.

After lunch ran around the sprint model for about 14 minutes.

Rode the bike to and from the high school for the indoor orienteering. Listened to the voice on Google maps for navigation. (Barbara and I call the voice “Miss Bossy Pants”.) Was flawless on all the bike paths. Deducted the time I spent taking photos.

Did a “photo-o” in the harbor of Odense. This is an area being transformed from industry to residential and office buildings and shops and recreation. Photo-o is a great way to orienteering on your own in such an area. Some of the photos were tricky - hence the slow min/km. The idea was to run like crazy to the new location and then stop and figure out the photo. Good interval training!

Did a course finding permanent markers in Elmelund Forest outside Odense, Denmark. Pretty thick in the sparse woods and thorns in the fields that left a tingling feeling for a long time afterwards. Still fun though. Again got there by bike.
