Decent running for a change... I decided to run without compass on this easy map, and this seems to sharpen the mind and senses. 5th overall until control #3, but then dropping to 9th on #4 and 10th at the finish. The route choice to #4 is maybe too safe, driven by the lack of a compass (see also #11)..

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.

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.

#1 wrong path.

#4 lost among the stones and many paths.

#10 must have passed close to control but missed it.

Last itärastit event for this spring. See you again in August.

Probably also last orienteering practice before Louna-Jukola next weekend.

#2 found the correct ditch but passed close by the flag before turning around to find it. +2 min.

#9 ran too far along the road and passed close to #4 before turning towards the control.

#15 nothing much wrong but still a bad split. straighter through the green apparently is faster.

A great big loop around #2 that cost at least +3 minutes 🙁

Then I ran past #5, just didn't look in the right direction at the right moment. Maybe +1 minutes here.

Out of #8, should have avoided the green dashed slow area by rounding it clearly north or south - very slow going until I reached the road. Another minute lost there probably.

Overall an easy course with emphasis on running - as long as clear and good route choices could be made...
