Running Smooth 20:00 [2]
Various warm-up and cool-down sessions.
Orienteering Forest 16:15 [5] 2.2 km (7:23 / km) +130m 5:42 / km
GLOF Sprint WRE. Forest sprint with very steep ravines. Started well, but got a shock when I saw how steep the ravines were when I crossed over to the second control. Lost some time to control 4, when I ran along the creek in the bottom and had to climb various dead trees. Missed the best route to 8 and climbed two ravines, when it was possible to only climb one. Lost 15 seconds to Jon here. Finally took the route around to 11 and got the fastest split. Again to 15 I cut down to the bottom of the ravine too soon and got a bit stuck.
A pretty good run, no control mistakes, but a few route problems. 3rd place, but 1 second behind Jon... wish I was a faster runner, bigger lungs etc ;)

12 PM
Orienteering Forest 36:35 [4] 5.44 km (6:43 / km) +173m 5:48 / km
GLOF Middle. Amazingly pretty woods. Had a solid start to the race and was in the lead at control 6. Screwed up 7... f*ck. Went too high and could not figure it out fast enough. Lost 2:20. Then took the wrong route on the long leg to 9. Lost 1 minute more here. Had a solid last loop after the spectator control, but could not eat up much time. 34 was clearly within reach, but don't think I could have touched Eric Kemp's great time. 4th place.
Fantastic late summer day and top organization by GHO. Race announcing, radio controls and spectator controls. Thanks!
