orienteering 44:24 [5] 7.8 km (5:42 / km) +80m 5:25 / km
1st leg of the 3rd IFK G. team for the Venla (women's Jukola) relay. The start shoot was a bit dangerous, at least 5 people went down in the first 400 meters. I stayed back just a tiny bit to make sure I got out okay. The rest of the race was pretty clean...stayed focused well, except near the end. Two small mistakes, but probably about 1.30 total time lost. Just too slow! Ended up 145 out of 788, 6.28 behind the leader, 4.20 behind top IFK girl. Satisfied with the run, but ready to go back and do better next time. Not really technical orienteering however, just having to stay focused and on bearing for the most part. I have definitely learned to punch faster, as well!!
