(rest day)
A great SYO trip to Jukola, courtesy of Tett Tours and others - a real treat to be shuttled around and have everything organised. Hopefully we did the club proud (ish) and have a decent start position for next year.... Would be nice to get a couple of girl's teams out, as I think we could do well, any takers?

Event: Jukola 2012
Orienteering race 1:09:00 [4] 7.2 km (9:35 / km) +235m 8:14 / km
Venla leg 3 - fantastic fun! Very nervous before starting (I don't know why!), and tried to overtake a lot of people on the initial run out to the start triangle. Orienteering well - but just didn't see the first control - was within 5 m of it, and turned the wrong way. Didn't loose much time, and running well for the next few - a bit of a battle through people on the trods and hills. Another large miss towards 5 (relocated off my next control - luckily very close by), then a few more slight misses in the circle, but generally good. Running much better than on Thursday and Friday - legs feeling pretty good.
Was careful to nail the last few controls, even though they looked easy - didn't want to loose any time here.
Pleased to gain 225 places - Lesley also gain over 100 on second leg, and Laura another 200 on last, so we finished just inside the top 400 - so we were really pleased with that.
Was 340th on my leg - not bad, aiming for higher next year... if only I could spend a few weeks orienteering in Finland, that would definitely help!

Orienteering 1:05:00 [3]
Feeling much perkier today after a good night's sleep - and the legs and feet are on the mend. Did a line (very slowly) that Rob planned to the first control, which really helped. Then ran a few controls faster - very enjoyable, pretty accurate with my navigation, but drifting on some of the bearings.
Lovely swim in the lake after, and a great afternoon in Helsinki.

Orienteering 35:00 [2]
A short wander around a finnish forrest - legs feeling heavy, finding it tough going. Nailed the first control I was going for, and then proceeded to go walkabout and not understand much... lovely weather, I can see how I can get the hang of this orienteering in Finland malarky, just need a bit more time in the terrain!

Quads still sore - Jukola could be interesting!
Feet also still sore, and can't get the compeed off my big toe to have a proper look at it....
Must remember to harden up my feet with surgical spirit a month before the next mountain marathon. Might also invest in some new fell shoes, as my innovates are pretty well beat up now. Maybe another make will be better for my feet.
