An interesting course with controls #1-#9 in a very detailed area, then a few longer legs to #12 where the course criss-crossed over the swamp a few times before heading back south to the finish.
No major mistakes just minor ones: after #3 did not clearly identify the path, and took a wrong direction down the hill to find #4. Then on the #10-#11 leg I did not want to cross the deep "trenches" on these cliffs, so I back-tracked to avoid the trench (dark brown line on the map).
Big mistake on #10. Should have run straight south, and navigated after the path based on this assumption. Then didn't do a very good job of promptly correcting the mistake and getting back "on the map" again.
The night of Jämsä-Jukola awaits next Saturday/Sunday.
#1 ran up the wrong valley about 100m before realizing my mistake
#2-#6 mostly OK
#7 a slow route up the hill, more left through the forest or using the path would have been better
#8 a small loop to find the flag
Firmaliiga result 40./61
Nice going on 1-4, then a little slower to #5.
Towards #6 I first had the wrong direction and found the road close to #7 instead. Then again the wrong direction from the road towards #6??
7-9 OKish. Big problems on #10 - should learn to recognize these harder legs and play it very safe. Many paths that were not marked on the map lead to all kinds of confusion..
Very long #2->#3 and #4->5 legs on this course. No major mistakes but not that fast going either..

#6 the organizers had placed this control incorrectly - more than half of the field did not find it.
#9 only major orienteering mistake here - looking for the control on the wrong hill for about 3 minutes before re-locating using the road.
#12 someone had stolen the control flag! By itself the small EMIT-control taped to a tree was hard to find.
#13 should have approached control from above, not below.
Firmaliiga result 35./58

#1 when initially lost, should have continued to the road, re-located on map, and would have found control much quicker.
#6 approaching the control from above would have been better.
Firmaliiga result 49./56
#4 veered off course and came close to #9. Should have taken the route shown as the blue line.
#5 too high up the hill close to the control
#12 running along the highest point of the hill would probably have been better
6.5.2013, Pirttibacka. This should have been a familiar map... but made bigger mistakes on three out of twelve legs. (numbers refer to the control-codes on the map)
#30 Aaargh! How is it possible to start towards the first control at 90-degrees to the right direction??
#6 wanted to run along the path and find the less steep opening in the hill (blue-line). Didn't run far enough and instead circled around #19
#14 my route is direct but the second half is slow going through an area with many details. The blue line probably shows a route which is easier and more fool-proof to implement.
4.5.2013 Salmenkallio. Ugh - many mistakes (five out of twelve legs) - and they were out of maps so had to use a hand-drawn map.
#3 circling around as I was looking for the control on top of a ridge or at a saddle, when in fact it was much lower down. Wrong interpretation of height contours..
#5 BIG problems. It should have been easy to run along the path and look for the right cliff features on the right and find the control 50m from the path. I managed to climb the hill much too soon and circle around on top of it. Dead last in the split-times! 
#6 veering off compass course to the right, which resulted in unnecessary distance. Blue line shows a better direction.
#11 somehow I was afraid of the green area and decided to run around it, but made a much bigger loop than necessary. Should have run right through(blue line) the green thick area!
