| Orienteering Competition 35:00 [5] | |
| Middle-SM Taverne. 13th place.
The plan was to cut yesterdays placing at least in half. I knew that this terrain suited me, and I wasn't disappointed!!! Orienteering here is just the most awesome thing there is. Steep, technical, lots of leg coordination required. Did a clean race, just at reduced engine power (glad that there were no long uphill legs today ;-)), but speed is secondary here, it's technique and being able to run at all in the rocky slopes. Quite happy with the result. Tero rocked, as expected, but David Schneider and Benno Schuler were running his speed impressively most of the way but made mistakes in the end. Also impressive was Stefano Maddalena in 5th place, at 39yrs old! Ok, he is home in these terrains and knows Taverne well, I assume, as he lives only some km from there, but still, I would have to be in top shape to run that speed!! I even beat The Boss today, probably the first and last time for some months or years...;-) Was still one minute down in the overall two-day ranking though :-) results: http://www.solv.ch/cgi-bin/abfrage?type=rang&year=... | ||

| Running 25:00 [2] | |
| warm up to make the muscles a little less sore. Hmm, lately I've always had sore muscles after a competition... I wonder if there is some correlation between this and mileage? ;-) | ||

| Running 30:00 [3] | |
| run. Was defnitely necessary. Nice to feel some endorphine. | ||
| Orienteering Competition 16:00 [5] | |
| Sprint-SM Lugano. 36th place. Lost 2'15'' to The Boss. I decided I would do this race in all-or-nothing style, intensity 5.5. So I pushed as hard as I could from the start, which was still only good enough for 35th place at the spectator control. Then there was a long leg uphill, where I had a complete engine breakdown and barely made it to the finish... but probably other people felt the same, I thought I must have lost at least 10 places there.
Race was a lot of fun anyway, many spectators, nice event!! results: http://www.solv.ch/cgi-bin/abfrage?type=rang&year=... | ||
