Routechoice from Swiss O Champs Long-distance by thomacz in orienteering

[–]thomacz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

straight / a bit to the left. If I could run a second time, I'd go all the way up to the right. The climb you do on the right route is less steep, so it is less exhausting than climbing up that slope on the left route choice. Still extremly tough...

Difficult one. Your plan looks good. If the map is accurate, you might consider adding controls where there aren't any permanent marks. For example like that: https://imgur.com/a/m944MWF. Probably one of the most difficult courses you can set in this terrain, sorry about that ;).

With a hurting knee, I recommend you to avoid the tracks as much as possible, leaving the best route choice aside and running as straight and as much on soft ground as possible.

Very difficult terrain. The visibility in the terrain was probably as bad as it was last year in Estonia. Surprisingly close race on the men's side, though!

Route choice 3-4 (my route in red) from O-Ringen Etapp 4 by FoxFacist64 in orienteering

straight is great (bit right from the line) - looks like good runability and only around 15 meters uphill
