Just a new random topic.
Wondering what your hardest orienteering race has ever been? Most physical and or mentally exhausting.
Mine would have to be JWOC relay in Hungary, 4th race in 4 days with 40 degree temperatures. I remember the last couple of legs crossed this massive clearing with long grass. Bit of a stuggle to say the least.
Andrew.

similarly - JWOC relay 1999 - bulgaria. fourth race in four days. 30-35 degrees and apparently 100% humidity, whatever that means... solid water? (anyway, not good for a lard arse like me). i was completely buggered, ran straight past a control without punching it and DSQ'd... arse....

Don't know where my hardest race was ..... but in that relay in Hungary i had to sprint off a Jap at the finish and when i recovered i realised i had lost my compass on the course and hadn't noticed .... It has to be up there somewhere
