Packed bike up and headed back for Copenhagen. Front skewer seized, so had to dissasemble the front shock to fit the wheel and frame in the bike box.

Commuting to and from the Day 5 arena in the far south. Beautiful ride out there and back along an old railway line converted into a cycle track. Stunning.

Orienteering race (Ravlunda) 1:07:16 [4] *** 8.8 km (7:39 / km)
17c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #2
O-Ringen Day 5. Ravlunda. 1:10'000. H35
Bit of a surprise to see continental type terrain in Sweden. I managed to adjust quite well. Had a good start in the 15s chasing queue and soon dropped most people around me. Map was a bit weird going into #3 and I lost time here. Thereafter okay and I got some decent splits, only missing #7 when I didn't go far enough around the contour and lost 30s or so.
In the end did pretty well, 23rd on the day. Probably due to many of the Swedes not being used to this type of terrain? Could easily have found another 5 minutes just on running speed putting me closer to the Top 10.
Pos 23rd / 95.
No overall result for me as I missed Day 1.

Decided to give ourselves a break and take the busses to and from the Foot-O arena today. Hence only local commuting around the O-ringen town.

O-Ringen Stage 4: Ryssberget S near Solvesborg. 1:10'000 H35
Running on the area we used for MTBO the day before.
Had a shocking start after I misread my start time by 2 mins and got hurried forward in the queue. Rushed the first control and lost some time, and then even more on the 2nd. 3rd and 4th were only slightly better. Then a long leg where I could settle down and after that things went better.
Pos 54th / 95.

MTB - O race (Ryssberget) 2:05:32 [5] *** 38.3 km (18.3 kph)
28c shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014
O-Ringen MTB-O Stage 3. Ryssberget. 1:15'000.
Chasing starts, long distance. Lots of people around me, including Brian 55s behind, but 2 people in between.
Poor start to #1 when I stopped short. Brian already caught me by then. Made a bad route choice and changed plans on the long leg to #3. Lost 3 mins+ on Brian and the rest of the group that I was with to start with. Saw them exiting the control as I was cycling in. Settled down after that. Took a less optimal route to #7 and started getting tired by #10 already going into the butterfly, which was on top of the hill. Got to ride one technical section 3 times (and 1 additional on Foot the next day). The last section of the course was flatter and more technical and I got away from 1 Dane, but missed out on 1 more place when I couldn't pass a guy over the last 4 controls.
Overall 32nd after a huge amount of people managed to get themselves dsq'ed on the day. Brian pulled 5 mins on me, but also got Dsq'ed, missing the penultimate.
Once again, a weaker result for a long event vs a sprint. Seems I'm more suited to sprints.
Pos 38th / 77 for the day
Pos 32nd overall after 3 days / 50.

Less distance to be covered today as the 2 arenas were close by. First Foot-O in the sand dunes on the coast, then MTB-O sprint in coastal dunes & village just a few kms north of the first arena.

O-Ringen Stage 3. Friseboda. 1:10'000 H35
A fun race on the coast in forested dunes. A bit of a slog walking along the beach to the start, but the course was worth it. Got into the map straight away and had a good time with good reading and decent flow. Just tired legs from the cycling.
Pos 33rd / 98. Improving.

O-Ringen MTBO Stage 2. Furuboda. 1:7'500
Sprint race. Got to the pre-start 1 minute late after forgetting my dibber. :-(
Felt rushed as a result. Small mistake to #1, then settled down. Poor route choice through sand to #3 and then overshot turnoff for #4. Had a very good run on 7-8-9, getting splits in the top 15. Then settled down again, but a poor route execution from 19-20.
Pos 39th / 82. Got Brian by 2 mins, so he starts 55s behind me on Stage 3 chasing start. Fun!
Can't find online splits. :-(

O-Ringen Stage 2. near Bromolla. 1:10'000. H35 category
Dead legs after the MTBO and the cycle out to the start (1h35). Was the 1st starter on course as well, so no tracks. Hit most controls okay, but no speed. Got caught in some horrible green under powerlines when approaching #12. A good 2 mins lost. Worst leg was to #14, then downhill to the finish.
Finished 50th / 94.
