A few weeks of Iltarastit on Sundays now, before the end of the season.
A bit of searching inside the control circle on 23, then from 15 about 45-degrees wrong direction towards 38. Just before 39 a turn downhill and had to circle back to the control.
A bit windy but quite warm and good temperature for running. Fairly easy course but it's always more fun in the darkness 😉
A bit of rain but not too bad, quite warm.
Most of the narrow trails on the northern/westward part of the route were too difficult for me to ride. The beginning and end were on gravel-roads so no worries there.
First night-orienteering this fall!
Fairly easy course avoiding the big hill. Bad direction out of #1 towards #2, otherwise mostly OK.
Warm +21C or so.
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.
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.
Itärastit fall-season opening - more to follow until early October.
More paths and less forest both to #4 and #5 might have been faster. Lower, rather than higher, route to #11 looks better. Not much else going on orienteering-wise.
Next is firmaliiga 2/3.
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.
