Sydsvenska 7-manna

The competition is finished. So there is a time to anylize it.
IKHP is the 2nd best!!!

All the relay has been indefinite. After the first 3 legs IKHP has been in the leading group. It meaned that I will start on good position today (pursuit based on the 3rd leg). When I came to the competition center I checked a start list one more time. Yes! I should start only 2 seconds behind Henrik Laas from IFK Göteborg.

He has a bit shorter forking on the first control. So he has got advantage in the beginning.
Matti told me to make my own orienteering. Some controls and I am leading again.
I decided not to rush and then I has been just holding position.

I made my orienteering clearly again and let Oskar begin his race on the first position.
All team made the best. It was really good competition for all team.
The ladies came also on the high 2nd place!

Brest analysis

The competitions in Brest have been remembered by fast races and unnormal cold weather.

All competition days I have been working clearly. I didn't have any problems at the relay and sprint events. They were held in typical urban zone. So orienteering has been simple.

The long distanse.
The snow and rain have been making this day difficult for runners.
I dressed all underwear I had. But still it was cold. In the end of the race I have been really suffering. The punching the controls and working with a map were difficult beacause of my frozen hands. The brain was  refusing to work.
But I made the race without any big problems.

Now I am prepareing for my first competition in Sweden.
