orienteering 30:26 [4] 3.2 km (9:31 / km) +140m 7:48 / km
The last course of Sprint Final on sunny Sunday morning in McLaren Park in San Francisco. I had some fun running in the same heat as Dean and switching the lead during the race. I made some mistakes and thought that he must be in the finish, but he came after me. More middle distance for me than a sprint, hilly and great map.
Great sprint camp in sunshine! It is cold and raining here....in North Van
3.2*1.5=4.8

orienteering 11:57 [4] 1.6 km (7:28 / km)
First heat at SF State U in some high speed. A confusing mini loop at the beginning.
1.6*1.5= 2.4
1.6*1.5= 2.4
orienteering 12:19 [4] 1.6 km (7:42 / km) +40m 6:51 / km
Second part of SF State University event. I ended up in a bit slower heat and was the fastest of them, so I was not surrounded by fast people and did not have to run too fast. One pretty tricky route choice. Mostly about avoiding the stairs. Fun!
1.6*1.5=2.4
1.6*1.5=2.4
orienteering 27:00 [3] 2.7 km (10:00 / km) +150m 7:50 / km
A great forest-park sprint at Mc Laren Park on a brand new map. Hills!!! I ended up in the same heat as Will Critchley and my plan was to follow him and keep seeing him ahead. I did so all the way to number one and then he ran up a crazy steep hill as a greyhound and I lost him for the rest of the course. I should stick better to my plan next time! I still came second from my heat. Really great map. Felt tired!
2.7*1.5=4

orienteering 22:27 [4] 2.3 km (9:46 / km) +80m 8:19 / km
Point Bonita Sprint above the ocean with the view to Golden Gate Bridge.
Very windy! New map of some old military base left overs of the buildings, scary trails just on the edge of the cliffs above the beaches. Fun!
I tried to run fast and push....but felt kind of heavy. A few times I did not read the map well and ended up on top of a big wall looking at the control below me. Actual running distance was over 3 k.
Picking up all the controls with Magnus.
2.3*1.5=3.4

orienteering 28:00 [3] 2.4 km (11:40 / km) +75m 10:05 / km
Great Forest sprint at a Redwood park close to Oakland. Wow! That's a different run in such a nice and dark forest. I did well till number 6 and then I lost the touch with the map and tried to figure out the not existing trails which was not the best idea. It was better to follow the 20 feet contours.
I lost two minutes on the last control(weird and hidden location) I will take a picture of the map tomorrow. Fun!
2.4*1.5=3.6

Chase start at Berkeley University under warm sun of California. Should we maybe move to this place? Cool map, very fast start, chased by fast guys, after they all passed me I slowed down. I should not be pushing too much because of my toe. Fun! Sunny and warm day! Good 40 people showed up.
Here is the map!
