Orienteering race (Middle) 59:33 [5] *** 5.51 km (10:48 / km) +61m 10:14 / km
spiked:16/18c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
On Elliðaárdalur map (1:7500, 2m) just east of Reykjavik. Decent run if you don't count number 4. Finished about 45 seconds out of first place! Closer to Claudia than the other two days. Number 4 tripped up a lot of people. It was a fairly deep, small pit, and the flag was down in it and mostly invisible unless you were right on it. Took two re-attacks before I found it and I likely lost 7-8 minutes. Haven't seen today's splits yet. Otherwise, a really fun area, more like a woods sprint than a middle.
One of my routes took me right by a house where they keep rabbits (apparently, unless they just feed them there). Saw more than two-dozen there, just grazing on the hillside and posing for photos! (Sorry, didn't have my camera with me...)
EDIT: added FR track, and diacritical marks to map name :-) Looks like I went right by 4 on my second attack from the trail junction, 16:30 into the race.
Temp in the upper 50s to low 60s, sunny
