Wooo! orienteering. Hopped in a van of sketchy kiwis - well, that's a bit redundant I guess ;) - and set out for tonight's training's bank session. Johan planned a course using permanent controls from this year's Naturpasset and printed the map without trails.
Forest was damp after the rain, and mosquitoes were bad in the parking lot after we had stopped running. Ran pretty hard at the start, keeping up with the group, but peeled off on my own on the way to 3, which was fine until just before the control when I got way off my bearing and made a big arc into the control. Johan was there waiting for some people to run with and so I joined up and Francois after me, and we ran the rest mostly together. I had a questionable route to 4 (I thought I was running straighter, until I ran into the fence) but otherwise I was very satisfied. Fun to run together in beautiful terrain. Great to orienteer again after such a break.
