Swimmimg in the Kouty pond ahead of the long trip back to Luxembourg. Cold.

Rumcajsovy mile, stage 1, H40. Tough and not that enjoyable. 3-4 idiotic route choices may have cost me some 15 minutes. Kept to the straight line too much, even where I should have gone round along contour lines. Accidentally mapped my way straight to #2 from the start as I couldn’t focus on this type of print. Rocks as if merged into black blots. The atmosphere in the CC was fabulous though - just another ordinary race in a sea of cancellations! Hats off to the organizers for pulling this off.... The race attracted the entire Estonian and Polish national teams, Olexander Kratov and a fair number of Czech national runners ... Well done.

Rumcajsovy mile, stage 2, H40. The stage was billed as a “sprint in the rocks,” on a forest map done in the sprint key (so roads were in yellow!) 15 controls on 1.5K. Much better, and a lot more fun, than in the morning. Only two 1-minute mistakes to controls 1 and 2 and some minor indecisions and hesitations towards the end when there was not a runner in sight and it was getting dark in the forest (I started second from last, along with one of the Sild brothers, who, however, ran with a headlamp :-).

result after 2 stages: 17 / 32

Around Melechov. Up the goat path from our back garden and back down the forestry track. Fastest K in 4:46. Great flow / a top 3 effort over this distance
