started quite well- pace wise- but going to the right at first control I was about 2 min slower then Magnus. Before 1 I already questioned if was the fastest route.a bit hesitant to 2 and somehow in the middle of 3rd leg, and I am already 3 minutes slower then I should.Satisfied with my pace /routes till 9, where right before the control with 3-4 m I felt quite bad getting stocked with my left foot behind a rootstock (in a ravine) while the rest of my body is on the other side of that root upside down.got up, removed leg from there and felt lots of pain , jogged slower to 10, contemplated about quitting the race after first map, but I would just not feel right, so ignored the pain ( won next split ) moved quite fast from here on ( but lost 45 sec at 14 ). Got mad and won 3 consecutive splits and moved decently well all the way to the end.End up 3rd - and learned some lessons.. but i enjoyed so much to just run and orienteer- that i forget about pushing a bit harder.Right hamstring quite sore. Left hip sore and adding now a sore thigh.Hopefully all pain will go away. not magically , but with a bit of patience.

Long 8 - Splits

Event: 2010 Golden Leaf Orienteering Fest
 

for sprint and middle GLOF. nice weather

quite nice to run a forest sprint but with some real orienteering.very minor issues with the map- for me ( one control cost me over 20 sec). about 35 sec behind a fast Eric Kemp..able to go quite hard but not max, hamstring a bit sore.overall satisfied

good course again ( well - I kind of expected this from GHO gang- and they delivered ).. sloppy at 5th control, but quite happy with the race overall. hamstring feels sore and tired. hope to be able to keep up tomorrow. end up 3rd, but i need to be more aggressive if I am not satisfied.oops-- I have 2 parts of my body, that actually tell me " don't worry, be happy !" . so I am !
