No medals today. Sharon Crawford 5th in W75, Stefan Slutsky 27th in M55, I was 28th in M45. These three athletes qualified for the Long Final on Friday.
The opening of the Middle was way above my competence level, with last technical international orienteering in 2019. Cliffs in thorns, half-reentrants (where there's a right side but no left) inside sticker bushes. Many others were in the same boat. The last 40% of the course or so were quite easy.
Thanks for the updates. Still some solid performances…
A little more time in DVOA-land or even an OCIN training camp the week before should get your thorn-O game back in shape!
