Event: Tiomila 2009
Orienteering race 1:08:40 [4] *** 9.5 km (7:14 / km)
shoes: o-shoes
Tiomila, last (5th) leg for VSOK.
Went out in 54th position. A bit unsure, hesitant and zigzagy for the first 3 controls, then ran with a couple of girls for the next chunk of the course. Did the last 2km running more or less on my own.
No real mistakes, just not running very fast, I think because of the soft (wet/boggy) ground in a lot of places and the blister that hadn't healed since JK. Maybe I could have gone a few minutes faster but would need a bit of training in this terrain to get used to it. I finished in 51st position.

Orienteering race 32:30 [5] *** 4.7 km (6:55 / km) +90m 6:19 / km
14c shoes: o-shoes
JK Relay, Dipton Woods.
SYO team with Jo and Jenny. Jo ran really well coming back in 1st place, then Jenny also had a great run to send me out 3mins clear of Sarah and Rach (although I didn't know I had 3mins when I set off).
Ran well through the first 7 controls and felt like I was doing my best oing of the weekend. Then on the long leg to c8 I got pretty much all the way there but then stomped around in the heather for 90secs trying to find the shallow gully. That was a bit worrying but I eventually found it with no girls in sight so I hurried on to do the last loop and finish, thankfully avoiding a sprint finish! :)
