Running 1:42:16 12.73 km (8:02 / km) +162m 7:33 / km
ahr:142 max:175 shoes: VJ Falcon May 2018
Jukola leg 2, 10.4km
Team FVO finished 364th which we were pretty happy with, looks like 1933 teams started.
My run was pretty patchy, did some bits nicely but some other things were not so clever with some bad decision making turning small errors or dodgy routes into bigger errors, twice distracted from doing the right thing by a big train of torches becoming visible near the end of the leg. No reason for that to be my gaffle either time but let it put me off both times.
Pre-race we thought sub 10min/km in this terrain in the dark would be okay and I did at least manage that, however 10-15mins faster was very achievable with some calmer orienteering.
Great terrain this year, properly tricky in places and some controls were total carnage with confused people everywhere. I really should learn my numbers in Finnish though....
Routegadget. Haven't figured out how to link to the actual route, think names on each leg are ordered by eventual finish position overall.

Jukola training map, Kisapirtti. I was pretty bad even when I slowed right down. Thought it was pretty green and rough. A bit of aggression and adrenaline hopefully make a big difference to speed of progress.

Travel back from Lochcarron. Stopped for a short walk at Achilty. Not sure if a map still in use but the terrain still looks good!

Mountain walking 5:57:15 13.55 km (26:22 / km) +927m 19:39 / km
ahr:83 max:119 shoes: Inov8 210 July 2018
From camp at Bealach Bhearnais, up over Beinn Tharsuinn and then steep ascent of Bidein a’ Choire Sheasgaich (steep climb but cool mountain!) and then along the ridge to the higher Lurg Mhor.
Back from the col between the two, down and then a big contouring route right round the flank of Beinn Tharsuinn. Worked well, avoided a lot of climb and prob 30min quicker.
