I have been feeling a bit down lately. All kinds of illnesses are attacking me constantly. Again feverish days. But I get much enjoyment when I am watching my Control Club feed right now. I have Matthias Kyburz, Simona Aebersold and Minna Kauppi posting their trainings… 🤩 #orienteering

One good thing about technology and data is it allows you to accurately quantify how much you mess up. I've finally looked at my route analysis from JK relays: clearly mentally not in the game for control 1. Will have to make up for it on Beacon Hill tonight...

a graph of time lost (red) and time gained (blue) during an orienteering race. mostly all bars are very small. the first is huge, and red, and represents over 6 minutes of lost time.

Last time i ran in an relay was Spring Cup 2000 in Denmark, a quarter century ago. My dibber had only 5 digits (37266), my knees worked, I was in a team of friends, and I trained and raced nearly every week. Things change! It was fun to see how it's changed, and fun to hurtle with a pack (but not fun to foul up the first control badly). There should be more relays.

Day 2, let's go . Today is middle distance race at Tankersley, intricate contour time. The best prep does not involve sharing a hotel room with my kids.

Good luck to anyone in the world who is off to the centre of Sheffield today for JK day 1 - sprint discipline international race in the city centre, with trams, ebikes, canals, a public holiday, and presumably one of the longest risk assessment forms ever submitted!

My last reason to keep Windows on one last laptop just disappeared: #sportident hardware now works fine for me with #linuxmint and #wine. What did it was: wine regedit (cf. superuser.com question 619528) and usermod dialout and tty (don't remember where I found the info). It wasn't a big deal really, just try and find out if you're interested. I only do trial and error myself, almost no background knowledge at all. #purplepen all in all ok, too, although slightly inconvenient. #orienteering
