Halikko Leg 4 (21-10-2017)

Halikko leg 4

We didnt have enough runners so I had to do two legs this year, usually I avoid runner two legs like the plague in favor of starting my end of season celebrations as early as possible!! but this time I ran twice, it was really fun and Im glad I did!!

Leg 3 only takes 20mins so not much time to do anything but get cold between legs

I did have a good chat and a bit of banter with one of my team mate Alexander who decided to bet me a beer on the ferry home that I would make more mistakes than him and who ever has the most time loss is the looser! I said to make it fair I'll add both my races together and we agreed this was a good idea. However it was a bit of a stupid deal because Alexander is 16 so if he won I wouldnt buy him beer and if I won he is too young to go the bar and buy me a beer anyway.
Alexander ran well and made it a tight battle but I took the victory!! (hope my memory last a couple of years until he turns 18)

When I got the map I gave Alexander a quick chat though the course and showed him the good features to plan to use then set off (not sure if your allowed to this?). Then ran off looking over my shoulder a lot, waiting for him to start but near no1 I still hadnt seen him and I pretty cold (also wasnt enjoying being overtaken so much) so decided to speed up and try catch up with Patrik who went out first a few mins a head. I didnt see him but finish first

I lost a bit of time going to no9, where I lost some concentration and then thought I had been running too far and had no features to use to help me orienteer, so turned back then realised I probably needed to go further! 20-25s
