NK Long 2012


After a long breake of not writing anything I decide to write this small report of the NK long which was held in the Northern part of NL. Near the village called Appelscha. Small a cozy atmosphere together with a nice terrain and good route planning made it a great sunday.

I began my race quite messy, mostly because I was a bit too late for the start. After 8 controle I recovered from all the "stress" and could continue in stable and secure style orienteering. Map. Result.

Some interesting facts of the race:

1-9 average running speed ~ 5'00'', average orienteering speed 7'10''
9-F  average running speed ~ 4'40'', average orienteering speed 4'55''

Average on the whole race: average running speed ~ 4'49'', average orienteering speed 5'15''

Tommorow together with Niels Peter Foppen and his brother Wouter Foppen we will give a fight to the belgium elite on their ground. Belgium championships relay near Brussels is the place to fight.
