A few words from Kim Fagerrud
Kim Fagerrud is one of those Scandinavian orienteers with his own O' page. If you can read Swedish (or Finnish), it is worth a look. Actually, it has some maps so even if you can't read it you can see some maps (click the link labeled "kartor"). Check out Kim and Salla.
Fagerrud wrote an analysis of the season. Overall he had a strong season. He missed make Finland's WOC team, but had some very strong results.
Here is a bit of what he wrote:
In 17 races beginning with the Spring-Cup in March and through Jukola in June, I missed a total of 13-14 minutes. That doesn't count misses of under 15 seconds even though those are important in short races. The WOC selection races were a disappointment. I was in poor form, but the biggest problem was my self confidence. Bad training --> bad self confidence. I didn't reach my goal of being in the top 5.
