Rumcajsovy míle, stage 3. H45A. A much nicer route / forest that yesterday, and a better result. More or less fluid until 12 including the route choice from 7 to 8 (road, mindful of the fact that on this map green is green and yellow is also green...). Fatigue-induced errors from 13 to 16 cost me 3-5 places ...

Rumcajsovy mile, stage 2. H45A. The forest was terrible - ugly, thick and quite dirty in places. Definitely not the kind of terrain one would expect from a race known and loved for fine rocks. Got tangled up - literally - in a thicket on my way to 8 and in brambles just after 12, for a couple of minutes. At that point in time my motivation was gone. Hoping for a nicer forest tomorrow ...

Rumcajsovy mile, stage 1. H45A. Steep hills and rocks galore. Started well and kept within sight of the Top 10 halfway through the race. Then came errors: first from 8 to 9 in a messy area that didn’t quite correspond to the map, then later on a few more “unforced errors” due to fatigue. The forest has suffered immensely from the bark-beetle calamity that’s currently ravaging the Czech Republic. What a sad sight, and what a difficult job for the mappers...

A short loop around the Melechov Hill. Up the goat path (6:24) and down the forestry track. A great flow / new record over the circuit.
