Victorinox Spring Adventure multisport race in Karkkila. Huh. More in the "story behind the move". Placement 15th in the race series (among 32 teams), has to be satisfied as being a first timer. If someone is interested in the next tour challenges, see www.multisport.fi/
First 7,5km traditional orienteering, then mountain biking to Alhovuori (local down hill skiing center). Running 4 times up and down (60-80m altitude each). Bike orienteering 'till 4h30min, at the start we missed our EMIT card and had to go back to Alhovuori all the way uphill to get it (10km/30min). Lucky we even found it :) 1h 30 min kayaking, there was quite windy and the water was a bit cold... So I had to try how cold (slipped in the water down to my neck, luckily did not drown the hole kayak. Then back to race center, the race time was almost gone. Decided still to go and carry out the river crossing with a rope, so a little bit running there and back. Finished the race only a minute over the maximum time (6h30min), but of course got some penalty for the unfinished last running course. Fu...ng great!
