Nordic Tour in Finland

The first stage of the first ever Nordic Tour took place yesterday in Tuusula in Finland. The competition format combined a middle distance race (25') directly followed by a sprint race (15').

From the start I found a good flow and physically I felt good. At the end of the middle distance I had some problem to understand the fence around the shouting range and hoped for an entry and an exit. I lost some seconds having to adjust my routes. After the map and scale change (1:10'000 -> 1:5'000) I needed some controls to be in advance in my orienteering again. From control 4 it went really well.
I took 4th place which I'm very satisfy with. Now I'm really looking forward to the next stage which will take place in Stockholm on Tuesday.

But in the meanwhile there is an other challenge ahead of us: Jukola. KOK is really motivated to keep the title we won last year and we are ready for it!
