Orienteering Meet race 1:04:54 [5] *** 5.0 km (12:59 / km)
spiked:11/12c shoes: Solomon black
Day 5 O-Ringen chase start.
Did well except over shooting a control by 300 meters.
That messed me up bad.
As usually deep dark woods, lots of marsh trolling and tough orienteering.
Overall my ankle is holding up well as long as I don't twist it.
Have had a hard time pushing the pace due to footing and tough orienteering.
Great time overall, looking forward to sleeping on a bed and being in an apt.

Orienteering Meet race 51:34 [5] *** 3.7 km (13:56 / km)

Day 4 O-Ringen
Middle distance type of event. Still lots of marshes, but some trail running.
One huge mistake when I mistook a large trail for a small trail. Just plain dumb. I was surprised at a bingo control that was totally in heavy veg and no visibility. So I just followed elephant tracks to find it.

Orienteering Meet race 1:16:41 [5] *** 5.0 km (15:20 / km)
spiked:10/13c
Day 3 O-Ringen. They did give us older guys 1-7500 maps.
Run ability is tough here today and all days. Today actually had some trails to use. Lots of spongy footing that stuff is thick.
I was doing quite well until I missed boulders off a spur, on the way down had my glasses poked off nearly hitting mi eye. Kinda blurry After that began messing up near the end in the techical section.
Overall near the lower part of my age group.
Still great orienteering out here and tons of people, lots of fun.
Also tried some wireless emit. Pretty cool.

Day 2 Oringen less then stellar day for me. Woods were thick as usual.
Did I mention marshes...
There was a super long leg that everyone just about had.
Had a long 200 meter slog through the marsh.
Made some mistakes, but had fun!

Event: O-Ringen 2015
Orienteering Meet race 1:08:00 [5] 5.0 km (13:36 / km)
shoes: Icebug #4's
Day 1 O-Ringen. Very tough physically and technically. The woods were super thick in places and lots of cliffs, some very tough to get down from.
Lots of soft swampy ground, deadfall, cliffs and lots of orienteers running around. Typical of Sweden but seriously tough woods to navagiate.
Still a great site to see so many orienteers!
