Orienteering race (WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS) 1:40:02 [4] **** 13.0 km (7:42 / km) +700m 6:04 / km
shoes: VJ twisters
woke up at 6:15am. went for slow warm up. came back and had breakfast. breakfast not sitting well. had diarrhoea. blew my nose for 15minutes. about a litre of mucus came out.
caught the bus at 7:20am.
warmed up ok.
massive start chute; atleast 500m. saw the good route to the first checkpoint (track). took it easy through the first. caught someone. dropped them up a hill. came through the spectator; rest of the course slow but clean. pitiful up the hills. made an error in the last loop. couldn't find the checkpoint in the circle; spent a minute looking for it then decided to relocate; ended up in the same place; still couldn't find checkpoint, getting worried. then eventually saw it in the open. came back in second place (of two). I started 5th and was hoping to finish first; but a norwegian beat me back...
warmed down on the windtrainer.
good results from Louis (12th place through the first half of the course) and Simon and Vanessa.
