Orienteering race (long) 1:58:09 [3] **** 14.6 km (8:06 / km) +265m 7:25 / km
shoes: Inov-8 MudClaw 'O' 330
11.2k, 505m, 21c
Certainly better performance. Partially because the woods were much more runnable and I was executing better navigation. However, I made a couple of really very stupid mistakes (there are just stupid mistakes) on relatively easy controls. By the end of the course I was very tired and made 5! minutes mistake on the last control.

Orienteering race (long) 2:27:18 [3] **** 16.96 km (8:41 / km) +300m 7:59 / km

The course was very challenging both physically and technically. The vegetation was thick and the visibility was poor. I lost about 7 minutes looking for the first control. Alexey Azarov passed me on the way to #3. We met again at #4. The control was placed in the thick green area and many people lost time there including me. We ran together to #5 and #6 and half the way to #7. He made a mistake by going too far to the right. I was able quickly relocate and ran away. Vlad caught up with me on the 8th leg and we ran together till the very end of the course.
