T-shirt weather (warm for this spring!) and a course that avoids the boring fields on the left half of the map. A bit wrong down the hill to #4, then past #5 to the road and back.

Espoorastit Leppävaara A-baana
No orienteering-blogs for a week or two. This one is from almost three weeks ago. A warm and sunny evening. #9-#10 isn't exactly optimal..
Itärastit Svedängen
Good challenging course on an easy map. No compass. Windy and cold with more rain, wind, and snow forecast for the afternoon.
A loop past #1, then bit too far past #2, again a loop at #6.
Itärastit Kasberget
Cityscape orienteering on a 1:7500 map where features approach you sooner than you think.
Long running legs to #1, #3, and #5 to get the body warmed up and oxygen flowing. My route-choice towards #6 looks quite crooked, straighter might have been faster. After #7 there was a control visible higher up which I had to check out before realizing it wasn't #8 😉 Out of #9 it looked like a good idea to run straight under the water-tower (cross-hatched disk on the map) but in reality there was a fence or gate..
Iltarastit Svedängen
Yahoo the orienteering season 2017 has been opened!
Easy orienteering on a well-known area/map 😉 Still managed to be confused at #2 about the control-code, and then a small loop around #10.
Aluerastit Kuusijärvi - in the dark
Night orienteering! Always a bit harder to see the surroundings and easier to make mistakes.
Iltarastit Solvalla
A loop around #1, then OK until #3, but followed someone else towards #4 and lost the plot. Tired legs for the rest of the course.
Iltarastit Luukki
Iltarastit Paloheinä
No big mistakes. Worst split is #6 which came just after a long run along the road to #5. 13th/93 overall.
Firmasprintti Kartanonkoski
17 minutes of zigzagging around a small 1:4000 map. Much too careful/slow to #1, after that OKish. The GPS-trace is badly offset...
