So what have i done over the last two days, Yesterday we woke around 6.30am so not to bad kind of early. Decided to help Pirets mummy in there garden which involved pulling weeds from there MASSIVE potato field, ok it wasn't so bad only had to do about a 10m by 60m out of the 70m by 60m atleast granddad would be happy with me getting my hands dirty and doing some gardening, im sure it wont be the last time this happens.
Later on in the day we went for our first run, Left pirets House and headed south towards a place called Holstre we ran for a hour and i went up one hill ok in wellington you w
ouldn't even call it a rise, must have been about 5m. saw a fox aswell which was cool but wasn't fast enough to get camera out. Had our first Estonian sauna too i have to admit im not a huge fan of these but they are slowly growing on me. As we have one every day i think by the end of our time in Europe i will be loving a good sauna. we will see i guess thou.
Today we woke at 5am which was just a bit to early so i just lay there and stuffed around on internet. We had our first orienteering race aswell it wasn't to bad Piret was saying how fast it was supposed to be and we both we kinda disappointed was lots of undergrowth which made things bit slow going in places. Was weird to be oing (orienteering) in Europe again such different techniques to NZ, wasnt to bad got second even thou i made alot of mistakes was only 25sec behind. Tomorrow we have day 2 so hopefully can win by over 25sec then i can win some prizes, Piret told me there normally some ok prizes. so hopefully can hold it together. So for those who care about Oing im gonna talk about how many mistakes i made.
Start to 1) Was wanting to go dead straight but just drifted off and then decided should just take the track option.
5-6) started ok but then ended up on a track which wasnt the one i planed on luckly i relized not that far down it so was able to recover easy
6-7) long leg did what i planed but i think would have been bit faster to cut through the Forest and around side of mashes but will see once splits are up.
7-8) Decided to take bearing but just didnt stick to it and was lucky to spot control from a bit off, thank god its so flat.
9-10) We this was bit of shocker started fine but just went way wrong ended up back at number 8 so then had to correct was kind of lucky to have 8 to relocate off or might have kept going.
11-12) Caught some random Eesti guy and he went to far left and was stupid enough to go with him lost a bit of time
19-20) Once again drifted off, this time to right
Over all was happy after only being in country for 3 days couldn't ask for to much.
think i should point out most of Estonian best men were in Sweden, there was really only one good guy at this weekend 2day and he was the one to win but ohh well still happy :)
