Weighing down the luggage

So I’ve come away from the World Masters Orienteering Championships with a full set of medals. Gold (sprint), Silver (long) and Bronze (middle). Not a bad haul! I might send a report to my knee surgeon!

Also, 7 of the races over these weeks have been part of a 15-race World Masters Series which has been held over the last 10 months. (I was in two of those races in NZ last November, but in a different age class so those results didn’t count.) The scoring for overall placings is taken from your best 7 events. Going into this week, I was equal first with my Dane rival. This week she had 2 firsts and one second. So she narrowly beat me on points. But that’s another silver medal for me!

add to that haul the substantial glass stein I got for winning overall the Czech event, and the luggage will be rather heavier. Just as well I’ve finished the soap and toothpaste!
