Itärastit Uutela

Cold +5C and a bit of rain.

Orienteering season is here again. An easy start on a 1:7500 city map. Fitness and pace is low...

A bit tentative towards #2 and a loop before getting a new fix to the map. To the wrong cliff just outside the control-circle on #7.

Mostly walking in quite slow terrain - with at least 3 bigger mistakes...

Rain and quite slippery. Lots of mistakes - but others find this map particularly difficult to read and interpret also...

#1 wrong path.

#4 lost among the stones and many paths.

#10 must have passed close to control but missed it.

Not careful enough when leaving the path, up the hill towards #8 - maybe 2-3 mins lost.
Otherwise no major problems.

Last itärastit event for this spring. See you again in August.

Probably also last orienteering practice before Louna-Jukola next weekend.

#2 found the correct ditch but passed close by the flag before turning around to find it. +2 min.

#9 ran too far along the road and passed close to #4 before turning towards the control.

#15 nothing much wrong but still a bad split. straighter through the green apparently is faster.

Three good splits on 1, 2, and 7.
Bad mistake on 3 costing about +5 minutes. This was followed by a map badly needing updates on the 3-4 leg...

Three major mistakes: ran well past #1, a strange loop before #6, and through the wrong valley towards #11.

Four OK legs with top-20 placings and mostly <1 min lost.
