Running warm up/down 20:00 [1]
Orienteering race 1:00:00 7.0 km (8:34 / km)
Uusimaa district hight champs. Not my district, so I ran kind of outside competition.
Just before the race I got email telling they did not take me to the finish night champs. Fair play my ass, they simply lured people by changing last entry day one day earlier from what it has been all previous years and then no mercy for those who were one day late. I still dont know do I like my volunteer work is used by these guys who support this kind of fair play attitude. Anyway, my motivation was gone and during the race I found myself thinking why I am running this training race if I don't go to national champs. It was not fun was thinking dfn the first half, did not focus much on navigation and never bothered to run harder than lazy training pace. With my slow speed and some stupid but quite small mistakes I was 5th about 5 minutes behind winner.
Walle was superb.

Forest run (Night) 35:00
head lamp run with Rabbit Rooster's little brother Walle. I saw only one rabbit tonight.
Note
BTW, I missed my entry to Finnish night champs. I tried to so it today (wednesday ) but it was already closed. I thought I could do it today because Finnish federation rules say the last entry day should be 10 days before the event. But they had 11 days! I sent email and asked about it but I don't think they will take me. Not a big deal, sleeping is better alternative anyway.
