Running with map (like yesterday) in the forest. Scale about 1:25000. Checked couple of intresting spots and they were worth of visiting. Walked steep hills and had quite a lot of thinking breaks (not inlcluded to training time). Route and photos at Sports Tracker.

Following the Karhunkierros hiking path at Valtavaara/Ruka. Partly off trail. Nice views. Partly really nice terrain to run.

Towards to Ruka


Highest point I visited


Nice terrain also


Route and same photos at Sport Trackers.

Pölkkyrastit at Petäjävaara. Training organized by Kuusamon Erä-Veikot. Fin5 O week will be organized next year at Ruka. Could be intresting? What comes to training it went quite ok. Not really mistakes. I ran handbrake on to avoid mistakes and succeeded. Small river that I crossed on the way to 1, 2 and 3 was flooding. First time I was running (or swimming) the trail that had water up to your waist. Heard someone had to swim to cross it on her route. I would have not made to course to cross the river :). All the bogs were very wet also. Terrain was nice by the control 2 and from 8 to finish. Also area around 3, 4 and 5 was nice and demanding. Green areas were actually not that bad. I was afraid them, but they were good to go. Nothing like green area can be at Lahti area. Happy, happy face after training even it was cold (less than ten celcius) and raining. Training time includes warm up and cooling down.

Results. Quite international :). Only five min to Lena Eliasson. A little bit more to David Andersson. He, he. But I was faster than this AP fellow.

Mistake competition with Hapardi. Control point number 8 was terrible. Had my moment already before that, but that was the major one. Solid mistake also at nine. Did not help that I was pissed off. Classic to last one. I don't have to navigate anymore. Ihan kiskalla suurimman osan välistä. There was some good legs too.

A great WOC day. Nice competitions for both women and men. Good courses with surprising route choise options. Yle live stream or tv, gps tracking (I love the punching bubbles already. I checked and waited several times Jani to spike) and random checks on live results is all you need. I did not even bother to try to open sportground arena production and will not except middle qualifiction. And it is good to know direct links to services you need to avoid the need to go WOC main page which has been slight disappointment.

Then my personal Chris O' Week in numbers.

Orienteering 1:16:45 [2] ***** 8.34 km (9:12 / km)
spiked:17/19c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

Note to myself. No X-Talons in forest trainings. Grip was not a problem, but they were twisting and turning all the way. Fell down and hit my knee after third control. It started to hurt more and more towards to end. Running was not fun. Long leg was very nice. I liked it a lot. Catastrophic mistake at ten. Could not follow my plan (swamp right not left) and then had difficulties change the plan and bit of stopped navigating and just made assumptions. Relocation needed and then quite ok. Another mistake at fifteen. There I had troubles with the map.I would not have put control point in to that place. Otherwise some good legs, but mostly just almost. Slowly, but still troubles. This was one for the round and last one is usually too much and it was. Now rest. Even it feels difficult. Maybe the knee injury keeps me away from training.

Hapardi's Pullaute training in Ola. This detailed map I can read while running. I was thinking that once we are running with opads in forest there should be an option to set the level of detail on fly during the race. Reduce or increase level of detail, when needed or zoom in and out, when needed. Training itself went well. Mistake at eight. I first misread the open and semiopen areas. Before the mistake had already travelled a while "using just left hand". So I was not fully sure about my position. GPS track on the second is strange. I went straight to cliff and saw a streamer on it. I don't remember making such a turn either, but I did not start to fix GPS track since it is elsewhere automatically going as should be. So maybe I did or did not visit second. Mystery for a lifetime...

6th day of my personal O week. I'm starting to think that this kind of things is just for idiots, but ont the other hand this has been so much fun. I leave the judgement to you. Today I did a training at Tuohijärvi map and statement is that orienteering trainings and events should be only organised in terrain like this. It is simply just so much more motivating to run and nav on these kind of lovely terrains for example compared to yesterday. I did triangles first (bogs, cliffs and stones) and then ran the souther course in wrong order that I had originally designed. Great day. Sunny and hot day. Excellent. Thanks to Hämis for several proposals (not just the ones on comment)!

Visited Linnaistensuo with kids. Not too exciting, but worth for one visit. Nice day, nice weather. Excellent. Never seen a sign in Finland before, that training is not allowed. Protected area...bog. Route.

KKV's training at Vihattu. Few nice areas, but too big part was basically ultimate scheisse. And map was outdated. Feel free to run from eleven to finish. I would have made a bit differend course. Physically better than yesterday. Cruising speed was no problem. Competing against Tömäys. He started minute or two after me and I knew he will catch me and he did it at cp 4. A few controls more or less together. On the way to eigth different route choises and Tömäys ran away. I did not see him until I had visited eleven. I saw that he was at Kebab kiosk and I was more than happy to point him directions. After all clear win for me. Smaller mistakes here and there, but overall I'm satisfied especially succeeding the tricky part well. Also to eight I was going great, but made unnecessary zig zag before the control.

Keskilaakso-Rastit, Junkkarinvuori, Anjala. Yeah, I drove to Anjala. + one hour on one direction. Doable more often at least during holidays. I was tired as one just could imagine. Hills in the beginning were challenging physically. Did not really make mistakes, but I'm not happy of the level of concentration. I was going so slowly that I would have time enough to memorise the whole map. Not the best course ever, but quite ok. Small area limits options. Emits were mostly lying on the ground. Big minus. What's up tomorrow?

Valtsu rastit at Money Forest. Difficult course being a leisure O event. More than perfect for me, but I do not know about the most of the folk. Plan was to be more focusED on navigating than yesterday and managed to do it quite well. I took the time to stay on the map with one exception. I had not enough fuel for the complete course. I started to feel tired on the way to 8. More than happy to take the very safe choise to last one. What's up tomorrow?

Low tempo jogging and Oing at Orimattilan Iltarastit as warm up for football. Huge mistake at second. Started to search control point way too early. Did not take enough time for map reading in general today. I was a bit too busy all the time. Terrain was not that nice as by looking a map would think, but nice anyway. Well organised event.
