Orienteering race 1:13:00 [4]
Norwegian Champs Long Distance -> 5th place
Decide to run safe to the 1st control, but loose almost 2 min on doing so without doing any mistake - maybe I hesitated about 20 sec into the control. I got catched by Mari Fasting starting 2 min behind me approaching the 2nd control, which I also searched a little, maybe 30 sec lost. After that I ran a very stable technical performance, but lost Mari's back through a green area to the 4th. Some smaller errors, but nothing big. I knew also before the race that my physical shape probably not was the best, and I felt during the race that I lacked the top speed.
Anyway, satisfied with my performance, and 5th place is better than what I have managed the last years (with 11 - 8 - 8 - 9 the last 4 years). My best NM results in the forest diciplins are from mye two first years as a D21 -> with 4th place in long two years in a row (2009 and 2010).
