No GPS so a hand-drawn map instead 😉
OK run until #3, then too soon up into the hill (before the steep cliff) for #4. #6 was maybe the most difficult.
Warm +21C or so.

Firmaliiga Solvalla
Decent run for a change, 11th out of 60 runners on the E-track. Just past the wrong stone on #1 and a ~2 min loop back. Drifted into the blue swamp a bit on #6->#7 but nothing too bad. Maybe too safe along the path to #9. After climbing the hill I searched right for #12 when it was just to the left.
Light rain and maybe +17C.
Firmaliiga Haukkalampi
Long time no run.
Decent on 1-2-3, then problems on #4, an empty hill that was difficult also last year. Again decent to #5 but then very slow down the hill towards #6 and no good plan for how to find the difficult #6.
Solvalla next week.
Pirttibacka kiintorastit, south
88: could have taken the road to "3" on 39.
95: completely lost on top of the hill close to the control.
37: almost too safe southern trail route.
Pirttibacka kiintorastit, north
92: very messy first control...
86: wet route-choice followed by messing around on top of the hill close to the control.
Itärastit Paloheinä
Mostly good running speed on a fairly simple map/course.
Probably +3 minues at #2, not finding the planned southern path between #1-#2. After that quite OK until a bit of hesitation approaching #8.
Espoorastit Ämmässuo
After a long walk to the start #1 went OK, a bit far north on #2, fairly safe route to #3. #5-#6 is probably the worst split as the open area was slow and my position was uncertain after the road. #7 was more nicer terrain for a change. At the end drifted too much south at #11 - this is an area that has been difficult before also...
Nice weather with a bit of wind. A lot of people preparing for Jukola in 1.5 weeks.
Länsirastit Oittaa
A bit of rain was good - not too warm.
Itärastit ämmässuo
Down the hill towards #1 too soon. Also too low before #5. Not a great direction out of #6.
Warmer maybe +12C or so with a bit of sun.
Itärastit Uutela
Cold +5C and a bit of rain.
