Run the 5th leg of Jukola-relay for our 2nd bussola-team.
By now the whole Jukola terrain was covered with 10cm of mud - not the best Jukola-experience ever.
In the forest it was a nice experience again - and again I did the biggest mistake (3'?) to the first control. This time because everybody seemed to search way before my control and I was not selfconfident enough.
Afterwards good race but tough because of the deep floor.
Bussola-Teams top 200 and top 300 - everyone happy (besides Kapreolo
overtaking our first team on the last leg - again).

Venla-Relay 2nd leg.
Anina came back 61th only 90" behind the leader - great!
I knew that people would pass me "by hundreds".
There were several parts where you just had to run through the bush and relocate where you had come out of it afterwards.
Already to the first control there was about 5' of bush-spur-(perhaps-compas)-running. After that I did a misinterpretation and lost about 3'. At the 1st tv-control I had already lost about 70 places.
After that I had a good run and only lost 26 more places (also because people around were not so much faster anymore like they were in the top 100).
Christine and Regu had decent races with also about 3' mistakes each.
Very happy with our solid performance and a little, little bit disappointed that we didn't make it to the top 200 (209).

Easy run from our house.

Training in Jukola-relevant terrain. Much more bushy and green, but still nice terrain. Had a very good training, even if I could almost only rely on my compas because my map got wet and I could not see much anymore.

training close to Helsinki Airport Vantaa, on the map of Jukola-Relay 2012.
Afterwards we drove on to our house 20' from Lappeenranta in the absolute nowhere on a half-island only connected with a 10m wide Isthmus. Great place.
