Orienteering 42:30 [4] 7.77 km (5:28 / km) +184m 4:54 / km
shoes: Nvii F1 ('22)
Okay, race but ran mostly alone because of the gap from the first two legs. Could have probably pushed more but ran neither slow.
Mainly one bigger mistake (13th control ~1:50') in the last third where it realized to slow that I found my next control and had to go back. Always interesting how much other runners can influence your decisions when you’re actually right in course for your own control. I feel like they could have dropped the yellow 'tracks' from the map there to improve readability. Control H8 and G9 are super close together for being the same object, kinda strange choice. Otherwise cool terrain, very Latvian + rocks, and fun course.

Lots of runners and controls. Punching with Emit in a sprint, don’t know what else to say. I might get mispunch in the final because I will definitely punch more aggressive/risky there.

First things first, I had one of my worst sprint performances in a long time, and have huge respect for T. Heikkilä (and all the others).
So, I don´t want to sound like a bad looser but there are few things which still bother me or maybe I have two high standards:
- The start clock was anlog, stood about a meter above my head and almost directly on the right side next to me AND was off by two seconds compared to the beeping
- The map was in bucket on the ground, and because of the map flip it wasn´t really clear (neither written anywhere) which side will be up. Additionally, was the casing open on one side, so you were constantly moving the casing over the map.
- Control circle of 8. going over the thin part of the building, very not ideal
- This one is debatable but I am just not a big fan of artificial fences drawn as normal fences especially when they block a road completely randomly.
And I am not planning to run a sprint in Finland again simply because of normal emit punching. (In the forest: all good but not for sprints)
About my race, found a good route to 3. but got completely lost when I saw the artificial fence towards 3. which wasn´t even on my planned route. After that I had no flow whatsoever and constantly was behind my orienteering.

Okay session. Sadly the grass was quite high a lots of places, influencing routes a bit and somehow one building was strangely fenced around so had to skip 3 controls there.. Otherwise decent session.

More focused on the orienteering than yesterday, felt running wise good so not sure if was actually that slow (the GPS track doesn’t look reasonable either so..)

Didn´t feel fast, got a bit longer because of too old fences which still didn´t make it into my map file. Started fine but then my running got ahead of my orienteering.
Felt fresh while warming up but quite tired afterwards.
Thanks to Erik for the course.
