Orienteering race (Local race) 55:17 [5] *** 4.7 km (11:46 / km) +120m10:26 / km
A local race (more of a training type - maps were distributed beforehand) near Küchelscheid in eastern Belgium. Forgot my watch so unfortunately couldn’t measure the real length. Felt fine physically but couldn’t get to grips with the mapping - vegetation was mapped very poorly, in some places it was pure fiction, and that cost me lots (and lots...) of time. Nonetheless, a fine, sunny day in the forest and a gorgeous “only in Belgium” competition centre on a meadow complete with a bar. Results: http://obasen.orientering.se/winsplits/online/en/d...

Bambesch. 2k up a trail (5:18/k), 3k down through the forest, thick and thin. Tried to emulate the terrain that awaits us around Kuchelscheid on Sunday.
