Run race ((orienteering)) 1:17:50 [4] **** 9.4 km (8:17 / km) +400m 6:50 / km
spiked:18/24c
Leg 6 at Jukola (to find out why I was doing leg 6 and not 7 as advertised, have a look at the CSU thread). Never really felt totally in control but didn't miss anything big, all 15-30 seconders - biggest time loss was in extricating myself from a waist-deep marsh. Slow at the start but increasingly strong towards the end. Didn't really have the sense of making up places, but I suspect that's because I'm a worse runner and better navigator than most of those around me, so the ones I was passing were wandering around out of sight. Surprisingly never in a pack of any kind, although it was hard to tell who was on my leg and who was on 4, 5 or 7 (the leg 7 people were easy to pick as they zoomed away into the distance, but 4s and 5s were harder to tell apart).
