Went for a bit of an explore from Emily's, went slowly through the botanical gardens, but then ended up in a bit of an industrial area and got a little turned around coming home, quite tired by the end.

Touring around Helsinki on Emily's little 'city bike'. It says serious power on the side but I think that's an exaggeration. Went through central park to the beach and a couple sights.

Fin5 Day 5. Second long.

Went well enough. didn't make the chase start so everyone around me was on a 1 minute interval. Caught Will by 2 minutes on the way to #2 and then we caught the guy who started between us by #5. Ran somewhat together till diverging routes to #13 and the other guy had a camel back so didn't stop at the water stop. After 13 I took a less optimal route to 14 and stopped for more water which let Will get away too. Then I just got too exhausted and went real slow 14 onwards. Lost ~6 minutes to Will in the last 20min or so of the run...

Made a couple bobbles on the last couple as I wasn't very focused anymore but quite happy with the nav otherwise. Basically just not fit for this distance I think. Blister was bleeding up a storm. Ankle was quite sore. Might need to rest it or at least not push it in the woods.

Not many runners today https://www.tulospalvelu.fi/gps/2018fin55H21/

Fin5 Day4, Sprint. Turns out we ran the same sprint as the WUOC men, didn't realize that till the end but hadn't seen their map or course much at all anyways.

Also we ran it without touch emit which I think makes quite a large difference - especially with my inability to get the emit in the correct orientation quickly.

Good run though, a couple optimizations could have been made. Pretty fun too, not too technical though.

Approximate; warmup and cool down jog.

C • Emit 1

Fin5 day 3, A middle. Much better than the first middle. Still not super good, lots of control circle errors and a couple bad routes. Good fun and fun to race on the WOUC terrain after they did, we had some pretty similar legs even.

Fin5 Day 2. A 'short' long (11.0km course)

Went much better than yesterday. Bit of a confusion entering (and exiting) #2 but orienteered well other than that. Kinda died in the heat and over that distance though, a bit annoying 'cause some guy beat me in from the second last control when I was basically just jogging - should run it in next time! Also got a huge blister on my heel and a couple other small ones. so that was hurting. Ankle was quite sore afterwards, hopefully resting tomorrow helps it.

Beat 3 people this time! (2 of which quit half way)
