Orienteering race (Forest) 1:51:15 [3] ***** 11.9 km (9:21 / km)
shoes: inov-8 oroc 280
O-Ringen Day 2 (100/111 +37:50). Physically much better today, had power available the whole way. My race went extremely well technically, very slight misses on 9 and 16, 15secs and 30secs lost. I lost time on the way to 6 but only climbing up into the rocks for 30secs or so until I thought better of it and went another way. A bit hesitant on route to the tricky number 11 as well.
Course and area much better today, more like what you would expect. It rained quite heavily for a long period and that coupled with going in and out of light green areas with nobody else around gave a good wilderness atmosphere.
It's a bit depressing that I felt good physically and lost very little time only to be nearly 38mins behind the winner, over 3mins/km slower. I hope it's mostly my lack of ability to run through rocky terrain that makes me so inferior (it's true that I've spent much less time in the terrain this year) and that it won't be such a disadvantage in Scotland.
