The whole family has been i Halden today. Me, silje Silje and Sander were attending Norwegian Spring, my wife, Sigrid went as well, but she dropped us off, and continued to the Swedish border for shopping. Så everyone was satisfied ....
This was by debut in the M40 class, and that's a really competition for a newbie as me with only a year or so with adult orienteering. So it went as expected, me placed save safe down the list as Nbr 28 of 38. Most went well, exept 2 controls; 4 and 8. Strekk 4 var et lite stykke og jeg hadde kursen inne, var litt for langt til høyre, og løp inn i en annen post og ble da litt usikker på hvor jeg var, hadde da løpt for kort, og ble litt reddet av at Vidar Strand (fra min klubb) som da tok meg igjen og jeg fikk da en rygg inn til post 4. Gikk så greit videre, men ut av post 7 var det meningen å treffe en vei, og det gjorde jeg, men kom mye lengre ned enn planlagt og som bildet viser, surret jeg fryktelig rundt før jeg fant ut hvor jeg var og da gikk det greit resten av løpet.
Silje og Sander hadde også sesong premiere i Norge ( Vi har jo løpt i Danmark tidligere i år) Sander tok sin 3dje seier av 3 forsøk i år, det er ikke mindre enn imponerende, og han vant i tillegg med over 4 minutter. Og i tillegg var det en ganske vanskelig løype, så jeg er veldig stolt av den gutten.
Silje var veldig motivert i dag og var bestemt på å gå på i dag. Dessverre ble det 2 1/2 bom i dag, så hun mistet nok ca 10-11 minutter og da ble det et stykke ned på listen .

Control 4 was a bit to run, and I was on track, but sligthly to much to right when I ran into an another control, and was suddenly in doubt. I was saved by a very experienced runner from my club witch catced me up an then I had a back to run after into the next control.
Vidar soon disappeard and I was on my own again, and it went ok until I left control 7. Then I get all to much south and crossed the road far from planned, and the I was lost. As the map shows I was fooling around until I found the hard turn on the road, and then I was back on course again og the rest went fine.
Silje attended in W13-14, but had 2 big misses and was placed 5 of 6. Sander had a perfect day in M10 and won with over 4 minutes, so he is really clever, and have won all 3 races he has started in this year. So I'm very proud of him.
