Orienteering race (long) 2:27:18 [3] **** 16.96 km (8:41 / km) +300m 7:59 / km
20c shoes: Inov-8 MudClaw 'O' 330
12.9k, 470m, 20c
The course was very challenging both physically and technically. The vegetation was thick and the visibility was poor. I lost about 7 minutes looking for the first control. Alexey Azarov passed me on the way to #3. We met again at #4. The control was placed in the thick green area and many people lost time there including me. We ran together to #5 and #6 and half the way to #7. He made a mistake by going too far to the right. I was able quickly relocate and ran away. Vlad caught up with me on the 8th leg and we ran together till the very end of the course.

Felt physically stronger than on Saturday. No major mistakes, only minor hesitations and a couple of suboptimal route choices. Very satisfied with the result.
