Idreveckan 2012 - 3-dagars, dag 3

H40, chase start. Started 2nd, 1:15 after the leader. Soon after the first control i noticed my punch card is missing. Last memory of it was punching at #1, so traced back to #1 to see if it's there - It wasn't. I searced for 6 minutes, at that point next competitor was about to start. I figured I could still finish if I start pin punching - it was 1st control - so I went back and punched and went on. Not the best spirit to race, but it went quite well at first. But my day wouldn't have been been perfect without at least one big navigation mistake, so I managed to do that at #13. You know, if you pin punch with map you loose your grip to map, so it easily happen as it happened to me at #12, you start reading wrong leg. And even after realizing my mistake I had hard time figuring out where I should go. 3 minutes lost :)

5 days of great fun. Highly recommended O week, I'll be back for sure.

BTW, the punch card is still out there - near that branch most likely. If you are doing training there I wouldn't mind picking it up for me...
