I was super stoked to get into some scandi terrain again, last time being at Oringen 8 years ago. Wasn't quite sure whether I should race it or just get into the terrain and make sure I could orienteer.
Decided to take it chilledish and navigate properly. Got a bit of a fright on the way to number 2, I stopped short and didn't really know where I was. My minuteman came through and saved the day :P
I wasn't reading ahead much and didn't make any big route choices really. Kinda just went straight, picking up features on the way and getting stuck in slow marshes quite a bit, was knee deep in some, waste deep in others. Went straight on the long leg which probs wasn't the greatest. Went tgrough some scattered open twice; also slow going.
Saw Olli Ojanaho on the way to 8 and tucked in behind the junior champ for a bit.
Map with route;
The terrain is awesome! The vibe is pretty sweet too. I definitely recommend giving oringen a crack, 10/10 would do again.
Might have the slowest second last control but holding thumbs for the finish split. Splits should be up soon.
Day One; Name the famous Orienteer
Bonus picture: name the guy wearing the south african shirt.
