Better than last week! 35./90.
Firmaliiga 2019/5 Velskola
Category: Firmaliiga
Firmaliiga 2019/4 Kattilajärvi
Not so great on #2, probably searched for it too high up the hill and also too much south. After the shock on #2 also some problems with direction towards #3.
Firmaliiga 2019/3 Rinnekoti
Major problems finding #3 and then also out of #3 towards the road...
Firmaliiga 2019/2 Solvalla
Stepped off the path towards #1 too soon and circled around the wrong hill, probably costing +2 minutes or so.
#5 is also a bad split - the plan was to use the paths and not go down to the lake - but bad execution resulted in a visit to the lake and slow climbing back up to the control.
#9 is not stellar, perhaps due to lack of fitness, or slowing down and reading the map too often on the long(ish) open leg.
19./88 overall is OK - would have been better without these three mistakes 😉
Firmaliiga 2019/01 Snettans
Short E-course. Maybe a bit nervous on #1 - then mostly OK until #7 where the direction out of the control towards #8 went 90-degrees wrong due to some unmarked trail.
Firmaliiga Pirttimäki
The third and final Firmaliiga event this autumn was at Pirttimäki. Fairly easy course.
OK to #1 but then too much zigzag to #2. #3 and #4 are the best splits - mostly running along paths.
Out from #4 south towards the path through the woods - slowly. Sticking to the path would have been better? Again not so great down the hill towards #6.
Firmaliiga Velskola
A lot of running along roads on 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4. About 20th place on #4 before any slow parts or mistakes.
No real plan or inspiration on 4-5, just slowly along the straight line. Stupid mistake on 6 where I looked for the control on the wrong hill before finding the same path I took on 1-2.
Firmaliiga final event in Pirttimäki next week.
Firmaliiga Haukkalampi
Stumbled on #5 more or less accidentally and that messed up thinking for #6 which is the worst split.
More or less tired legs for the up/down hills at the end on #8-#9-#10. Otherwise mostly OK.
Firmaliiga Kattilajärvi
Maybe too careful to #3 and #5, then some zigzag towards #8. About 2-3 min J-loops to both #11 and #12.
Warm and dry.
Firmaliiga Haukkalampi, E-baana
#1 first down to the path, then up to the control again. OK.
#2 same approach, a with bit of standing around inside the control circle
#3 OKish to the lake, then easy along the path up to the control
#4 The plan was to find the path north of the line, but execution is not so good, drifting around until the road. From the road the control was easy along the ditch.
#5 easy
#6 no good plan for how to find the control in an empty area of the map. The different swamps and white/light-green forest look much the same in reality.
#7 biggest mistake. OK feeling and on the map on the hill before the control, then within the control circle slightly wrong and up too high on the hill, circling back until the ditch before finding the control. No good with +6 minutes lost to the leader.
#8 - Finish. OK.
A bit more speed and no stupid mistakes will make for a top-10 next week... 🙂
