Jukola, last leg. Made a good start and gaining places until suddenly one of my lenses was knocked out. Was sure it was still there but could not get it back on so went for a new lense (after going through a tricky section).

A few minutes later, this one was knocked out, I missed and we were losing places. This time I got it back in and ran ok to the end.

All in all some signs of progress - but a shame not to have got a better result for the team.

Steady in forest testing O-shoes (supra, not as super as icebugs)

Getting legs moving

Steady o on nom short area from 8 years ago. Much greener than Salo - paths tempting

Evening exercises to get legs moving

Steady run with map from house we are staying at.

Oddly had been at this random house 40k from Mikkeli before - a bit unsure of why but it brought back memories...

Nordic middle. Ran technically quite well - lost about 1 minute in small errors of line. A lot more of the best times - was breathing hard and toling all the way. Would have been interesting to have a quickroute trace as well.

All in all the races in Salo have been good - the maps are good, courses challenging and terrain varied - remarkably with just 1 assembly area.

I could have worked a bit more on being ahead in my orienteering but my biggest error is around 30 seconds and I have hit a lot of controls cleanly. That being said, my results are nothing to write home about. The level is high.

Mainly warm up

Jog round sprint model. Not up for much else, good to stretch legs a little
