Orienteering race (Obtarrenz) 1:27:27 [4] *** 8.6 km (10:10 / km) +415m 8:12 / km
ahr:154 spiked:20/24c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #3 (CH)
Day 5 of Tyrol 5-day on Obtarrenz map 1:15'000. Alpine forest on a steepish slope with lots of larch bush. Lots of climb. Got a very early start again with Eugene starting close behind me for 5th time. Seems rigged. :)
Tired legs on the first few controls with all the climb but no mistakes. From 6-7 I missed seeing a fence in the map and drifted too low. Lost 1:30 and found control just as I was caught by Rafael Z (+3). Ran with him to 13. Some advantage but he also pulled me too low on 10 (1 min). We took different route choices on long leg. I tried to contour across the larch green belts but seem to have lost 4 mins. Then another 1:30 loss to 15 before a fastest slot to 16. After that it got easier and no more mistakes. I felt goood and recovered some time in the leaders.
Finished 4th, +10:36 on Hannes Heinrich and about 3:30 down on Hakan Peterson. Daniel Z mispunched on penultimate, so that was him out of the overall lead. Hannes went from 4th to 1st and I held on to 3rd in the overall result behind Hakan (8:30 and 4:30 behind them).

Orienteering race (Hochimst) 39:13 [4] *** 4.7 km (8:21 / km) +130m 7:20 / km
ahr:156 spiked:11/20c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #3 (CH)
Day 4, a middle distance. The 5day moved from the Wipptal to a new region near Imst.
This proved to be one of my favourite races of all time. Alpine forest over landslide rock detail. Took another chairlift to the start so most of the race was downhill racing. Lots of small mistakes and 1 route choice error (30s) totaling about 1:55. Good start once again and kept my cool most of the race until the run to the last control, where I stopped reading my map and lost 30s. All other mistakes involve detail inside the circle.
Finished 4th, 3:53 down on winner (Andreas Thern, making it 4 different winners in 4 days) and 2:00 down on Daniel Z. (Who is now overall leader despite not having won a day yet). I'm still holding onto 3rd overall, with 2nd some 58s ahead and 4th about 2:00 behind going into the last day.
We share our course with M20, M21L and W21E. The M35 seem to be holding their own against the other courses, except when Tove decides to run (which she has on Day 1 and 4). Today she did a crazy 31 minutes. I just can't fathom how someone can run those downhills that fast. Needless to say she beat me on every single split.

Orienteering race (Nossachjoch) 1:10:26 [5] *** 7.7 km (9:09 / km) +175m 8:13 / km
ahr:159 spiked:18/23c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #3 (CH)
Day 3, Long distance on high altitude alpine. 1:15'000 map.
Got a bit rushed at the start as I almost missed it, misjudging the time it would take us to get to the top of the mountain on the chairlift. Missed seeing the map correction note affect route to #1 but that only cost me 5-10s when trying to run the shorty uphill to the first control.
Thereafter got into a rhythm. Struggled to keep my thumb on progress on the longer legs with not being able to read the finer detail. Managed to have few mistakes though, only totally about 75s. A tough long leg at one stage that involved 125m climb, which pushed us well above the advertised.
Finished 3rd, about 6:50 down on Hakan Peterson and 31s behind Daniel Z. (Was running 2nd for 1 control today). 3rd different M35 winner in 3 days and I kept my 3rd place overall with one passing me up and one down.

Day 2, middle distance on a 10'000 map.
Had a very good start and held it over the first sequence of controls. Got a bit flustered when I caught someone and they latched on. 2 big mistakes of 80s and 2:30 resulted.
Finished in 5th place about 5:16 down on the winner Rafael Z. Was running 2nd place before my mistakes. Have now moved to 3rd overall after 2 days though.
