Event: 25mannakavlen
 

25 Manna. 7 leg. last man out. This was last group leg and next leg could start, when all of 4 runners from 7th leg have finished their run. In a way different and a bit strange competition than usually. I knew or we knew with Juha (second last out) that there is no need to hurry. We'll catch the guys infront us, if we just make normal race. When running to first cp I saw Juha. We checked our routes and decided to make own races and we would meet at the end of the race. I had a shorter start and longer route at the end. I made a good run. Playing safe I double checked everyting. All punches, codes, street crossings etc. Älso I was looking around, if I would see other team members. Only man I saw was Juha. On the way to first cp and again on the way to second last cp as we planned on the early stage of the race :). At the finish I was thinking did I just ran a competition. Not tired at all. I did not have to push on the finish line either.

Warm up for the race.

Mission accomplished. Starting point.

Warm up/down for the race

District Champs in Night Orienteering. Tuuliharja, Orimattila. Results. Very difficult terrain. Did not feel like I was running. It was really difficult to go on. Also it was too technical course. Too much control points for night O. I did quite well until 17th control. There I made a big mistake while I was following another guy and was too tired to read the map. After noticing my position then the rest went ok. Must say that it was more like walking. Hit my right knee to stone. Let's see how it is tomorrow.

Hey this was last race (individual), when I officially belongs to H21 class. Next race, somewhere next year, I can also go to senior class. I'm old.

In Savonlinna.

Short Head lamp run on small paths and in the forest.
