orienteering race 25:00 [5]
Friendship Relay (coaches team). I was teamed up with 2 Lithuanians - turned out one had been at WOC '93!
Anyway, fancied our chances, they seemed very competent and competitive. We managed to sort the first 2 sections pretty evenly (you meet at 2 common controls and can only proceed once all 3 are there) but third section one insisted on getting the "outside" loop so I waited 3 minutes at the last control. Anyway 4th team... seems to be Scotland's position this week!
good blast round, about 50/50 easy urban and very fast forest with a few steep hills thrown in.

Note
World schools "long" race. At quarantines then to finish. ran out of time to run - and pretty drained from lots of standing, walking and coaching.
Good day for the team - nearly a great day!

steady run 28:00 [3]
Run from accommodation in Otepää, bits of track bits of wood and some road. Legs terrible at start but improved throughout run. Lovely sunny day with cool dry air, a few wee snow patches on northern parts of ski trails.
