One day, two countries
Mikkel Lund (from Denmark's national team) had a busy day Tuesday. He started with the middle distance World Cup race near London. Then he got on a plane and flew to Oslo for a park O' race. Two races in two different countries on the same day.
I think I've managed to orienteer in two states on the same day. The U.S. Champs in 1987 was on a map that was mostly in Rhode Island but had a little bit Connecticut.
I managed to orienteer in two countries on the same day. I ran a relay race called something like Grensekuriren in 1986 (?). The race started in Sweden and finished in Halden, Norway. I ran the leg that crossed the border for a team from Sandefjord.
Both of my experiences have been single races that stradle boundaries. Mikkel Lund's day was a lot more impressive.
