Finnish Long Champs A Final 30th
I find it hard to say I'm happy with 30th, but it's not a bad position considering another early start and having only run on 4 Scandinavian maps beforehand. It was not the cleanest of runs but ultimately I'm happy not to have made a massive mistake given how hard the area was.

Finnish Long Champs Qualification 22nd
Made it through to the A final!!! Objective complete although I made the first major mistake of the week which was only in part my fault. Lost +7:30 on c4 and then later +2:00 at c11. I ended up running circles round c4 literally 10m or less from the control. Despite these mistakes my run was about what I expected for my first race in Scandinavia + first starter + 1:15 map.

Running on the nicest map, virtually all open rock so was slipping around without dobs. Nailed the nav mostly, feel ready to race in this terrain now.

Heaven exists! Long training round Leipsuo with Espoon Suunta. 1:15 scale practice for the Finnish longs so straight in no fucking about. Literally the dream terrain, super runable and crazy rock/contour/veg detail. Absolutely smashed it round naving super clean chose the route that pushed me out of my comfort zone. Super happy for my first time orienteering in Scandinavia, still got a bit more training before the real thing. Also saw a moose which was pretty mad
