Not the best of runs... big mistake (2 mins, maybe 2:30) to 2. Mistake leaving 2 too, for another 45s. And going to 4 I changed plans which probably cost another 20-30s. A wobble to 7, but not bad, and good for the rest apart from hesitations going to 11.

I think if I hadn't effed up 2 I'd be happy with the run, but that's partly because the Finns had talked about this place like it was scary. Speed was poor on the downhills since I didn't want to die. Going uphill didn't feel too bad. I fell once properly, coming of the ride onto the forest road on the way to 8, foot went from under me as I was turning, skidded a bit and scratched my ass (for a change) and my arm.

Long way back on Timo's 45 minutes, just scraped into B2 finaali.

According to http://www.mysport.fi/mysport/my-o/index.php?optio...
my routine speed is just under 70% of the fastest, and my success on the course was 86%.

Went out at dusk, ran four controls (missed the first one by over a minute, misread the hilltop area), then went to collect my two. Nice glow from the sunset on the hilltop between them, then descended between big cliffs into the darkest depths for the second control. Just about found it, then ran back beside the lake and through the field. I didn't break the Iltarastit caravan.

Note

After orienteering, I saved people's lives marshalling for Tour de Helsinki. I was more interested in the estates driving by than the bicycles... V70, 320d, Skoda Superb and VW Passat all seem plausible options, if purchased in Germany. Any tips? It should be able to carry a lot of shtuff from Helsinki to Geneva, and then be suitable for driving people and gear up and down hills.

day 2

A little sloppier today, or at least, less smooth. Still not frightful.

Felt like I was cold overnight, coughed a little this morning, but the bright orange jacket warmed me up rightly. Running seems to have cured whatever it was.
