Orienteering 1:23:26 [3] 4.3 km (19:24 / km)
Short difficult night. This was like the 2nd short difficult I ran during the day through the green shit, except at night so even worse.
After the 2nd control, the rest of the course was in green, so spent a lot of time going around and would have run way further than the straight line.
Got lucky on 5 and lead some people in to it, had trouble on 7 where vegetation and even my compass didn't seem to make sense, searched a while for 8 (on a stump in a patch of green in a clearing that seemed to have a lot more patches of green in it), searched again for 12 in another area where I couldn't understand the vegetation.
Except for the bizarreness of going orienteering at 3am, did NOT enjoy this.

Orienteering 26:28 [3] 3.4 km (7:47 / km)
Short easy. This was bliss. Apart from the fact that my heels were too sore to run on until about the 2nd last control. The sun was up, the birds were singing and I didn't have to run again. Big smile.
So nice to be able to run and not fight through stuff or hunt for controls. Beautiful way to finish!
