SM-erikoispitkä

Never again? Well let's see. At last it's a good excuse to eat (a lot of) candy and drink (a lot of) coke afterwards. Quite crazy start, fastest km was ~3:07 on the way to #1. Hanging with Portin in the beginning but lost him, afterwards quite lonely for a while. Unfortunately missing Parjanne, that would have been the key to the chasing group. Leading some group through the ugly slopes in the north, towards the end some company of Terä and TP. Watch the whole action here: https://www.tulospalvelu.fi/gps/2018smepH21/

Halikko

Well, definitely not what I was planing today. Good start, being first at my first control. But after ~ one minute of running we passed a control and except for me and KR everybody else of the leading teams had this one as the 2nd. Despite having the longer (or at least slower) forking there, we did quite the mistake towards #2. Should just have done my own thing and start running right of the direct line towards #2. Afterwards quite clean race, running alone until eventually catching up the big group on the last loop. But nice to see that th 14 runners following did a great job, ending in a 6th place.

Yökuppi #9 @ Pariisi

Finally my first ever Yökuppi. Nice terrain, not very nice navigation skills. Waaaay to go... Switching the lead with Allu more or less every other control.
Tracking here.

Jukola 2019 Harjoitus #1

Revenge in Ponsa, well at least if I had visited #2 and approached #3 a bit more straight forward. At least I had some kind of concentration on the hill towards #14, where I enjoyed some 10 (?) minutes during SM-keskimatka.

Jukola 2019 Harjoitus #2

Quite the opposite to the beauty of Ponsa. Hoping that my navigation will be a bit cleaner tomorrow at Yökuppi.

Hälvälä <3

Partner-O with Allu until control #13, including some route choice testing. Pure enjoyment there as always, got a bit (mentally) tired towards the end. Nice course!
