Shows how slow I was.

I started later than planned and darkness was near. To #1 Maybe more straing or more about, can't tell. Paths and marches were flooding, snow has melted and it has been raining last couple of days, so going around on march was not se attractive alternative. To #2 I took paths, maybe took couple of unnecessary contors there. #3-4 no surprises. #5 was in the middle ofclearing. Also new clearing on the way to #7. To #8 I considered for a while going around to avoid those houses but decided to go straight anyway. #9 first signs of getting tired, had to walk the halfway hill up. -#15 nothing special, except fun. #16 I took around route via the edge of the Havremossen. I have never run that edge of the march before, there was some sort of unmapped trail. I guess it was a good choice. #17 I was getting tired and it was gettng dark, so route alternatve was obvious for me. #18 right for no reason, well, from road to #17 was crappy and I did not want to go trough it twice. #20 just tried to spot the right cliff, #21 went high enough to see the march. #21, first celar mistake. I found path and tought its the one I was waiting, But no, it was the more early one, so I ended up on that bare rock hill. From there I tried to navigate straight but I did not do that well, I had big bubblein my compass and north arrow was pointing in random directions and that means a heavy compass user like mee also runs to random directions. But even if I ran sometimes too much left and sometime too much right I ended up hitting the control just fine. #22 left, for n reason. I think I though I'd avoid some crappy stuff by doing it but I must have seen wrong. It was difficult to see map, it was quite dark already. #23 followed telephone / e-line to not get lost. And there was path too. Should have left it a bit more early, forest was fast around there. #24, funny route choice,avoided all paths but used road. I think I was not as bad as it may look. #24 - Finish, night orienteering without headlamp. How in a world such a head lamp geek as me can end up doing night orienteering wihtout a headlamp?

Great terrain and really great course. I did not look any route choices in advance, I'd never be able to do such a training by planning course by myself. Now I had to pick one route choice alternative and hope it's fine (and had to think in the back of my head I dhould have taken the other route). Excellent stuff! Thanks, not a bad course, especially if this was done 3 am after hard day at work.

Head lamp run. Heavy rain in the beginnig and I put lots of clothes, rain stopped after 10 minutes and I felt like michelin man. And must have looked too, just imagine me & my big belly lots of clothes on.

Stomach feels strange. Am I getting sick or have I eaten too much vitamin D?

Head lamp run.

Short head lamp run. On Tunnel Rock + short loop around Pony Rock (I just made names up).

The other day I was sitting a bit too close to our laptop with Topo. He managed to do his first ever google search. Result was full of ZZ Top. Coincidence? I was not sure, so when MinnaR was away we listened ZZ top's Tejas album. And as usual, ZZ top led to Lynyrd Skynyrd (Swamp music made me wonder what kind of music Swampfox plays with his guitar) and after Skynyrds version of Call Me The Breeze we ended up listening JJ Cale. And there it was, Topo's new favourite song. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJrOz-urWA
