O-Ringen Day 3

Today everybody had average runs, nothing extraordinary though I did have a better run than the others but still no where near the winner.

The last 2 days have used the same arena but today we had a new arena. The course was through a beach suburban area with a nice thick and ugly forest. Coming to the beach area you ran out of the forest and bam! Out of nowhere there are probably 100 orienteers running around trying to find their own control. As well as the same number of ordinary beach goers standing in the sand dunes watching.



The heat was intense, yes I'm am saying it was very, very hot in Sweden. It really didn't help that I was running in long pants and thick socks.


Dad just had to have a beer so he could say he's had a beer at an orienteering event.

We had a good day and we're looking forward to a rest day tommorow. We are probably going to a water park (yes, a water park in Sweden) if the weather holds up tomorrow.

P.S: last night Dad taught me our famous family recipe for spaghetti and meatballs with tomato sauce. It actually wasn't that bad and I can use it when I'm a poor, struggling, hungry uni student... Remind you of anybody *cough* *cough* Jessie West *cough*
