It's a lovely day for the British Sprint #Orienteering Championships at the University of West England (apologies to my daughter in the photo)

I like to look at todays Idrefjällens 3-days orienteering 2nd day M50 from this perspective. The red fields mark controls to which athletes underperformed relative to their own running capacity.
It gets obvious that the rear half of the field got in serious troubles 5-6-7 control [Oh Boy! I was totally lost🤣]

#Orienteering on the Jauerling, 960 m. 12 km with 650 m of EG. With the super experienced Army team. Brutal! Why am I doing this to myself?

Had a nightmare I missed a control during the rogaine yesterday because I just didn't see it on the map. Double checked this morning, and I only missed ones I intentionally skipped.

#Orienteering in the #Waldviertel. For me, 14 km with 260 m EG. I’ve gotten used to the tiny map scale, I now realize that it’s much harder to focus on the essentials when using detailed O maps. Several times I had to cover 1 km+ through hilly, swampy thickets, and the control was waiting for me at the right distance, just 10 m off my bearing! But in the swampy sections, I really didn’t feel like running. Post-race analysis, Waldviertel-style: “You’re a wimp”.
