Orienteering 50:00 [5] 6.0 km (8:20 / km)
Sprint #1 of Stadi-Sprintti.
Highly abbreviated warmup due to arriving with only about 20 minutes until my start.
Half urban, half cool forest, but too much ice & snow. Everyone ran in orienteering shoes, which made me a nervous runner. Too many legs where the good routes were really obscured and hard to see, even with a magnifier.
Not great.
Orienteering 45:00 [5] 6.0 km (7:30 / km)
Afternoon sprint. All forest.
I used to complain that forest events were boring (and in some clubs, they ARE), and I want to do more urban sprints.
Now that I've done a bajilion urban sprints, and the ratio of amazing to dull is weighting closer to the latter (especially after every WOC quali), I'm thinking, "let's do more forest sprints!".
Aside from the ice, this was fun! Lots of kallio, a little bit of trails, route choice. Good times.
