Itärastit Uutela

Cold +5C and a bit of rain.

Two extra turns towards #4. Very slow to #7 for some reason.

Windy and quite cold maybe +6C.

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

Around -14 C and 5-10cm light new snow on the ground.

An easy jog to start the 2016 orienteering year. -8 C and 2-3 cm of snow on the ground. Not too much wind so not that cold.

Cloudy and a bit windy but fairly warm (this being November already..)
Fairly relaxed pace with no major mistakes.

#17 zigzag down the hill in the wrong direction - there would have been a path to take..
#6 a small hook inside the control circle
#8 ran well past the control to #11 and then slowly back to punch at #8
again past #9 to take a look at #10. The slightly the wrong direction towards #9
on #25 I passed close, but above, the control and then circled back.

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.

Sprint-like course in Helsinki central park. 23 legs over 7 km is about 300 m per leg on average.

Three-four smaller and larger mistakes.

after a good start at #1 I zigzag towards #2 via the wrong hill. maybe +1min
down from #3 I take the wrong path to the bigger road. maybe +1min
towards #14 I should have taken the same path as on the #9-#10 leg but instead make a loop to the right. +2min at least
Out of #18 I first have the map 180-degrees wrong and take a few steps south before realizing I should go north. Then I read the #6-#5 line for a while before realizing I should go to #19. Crossing lines like this are always dangerous! Maybe +2min and the worst split.

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