| pretty good race in the final today..real time 16.30..winner Allan Mogensen with 13.56 and then second a minute later and third 15.11..end up 15th.. the fact that i start relatively early wasn't a big booster..maybe i lost here and there 7-10 sec-- 23- times or a 20 sec on route choice but pace wasnt near where it need it to be top 6 or so.. quite happy with today race.. started in town , then 3-4 controls on a nice forest (lots of people there), then some sand dunes and again some very tiny alleys or streets.. got stung by a "thingy" while staying in the ocean (quite cold water today--but good for my ankle ) |

| WMOC sprint..from the start we went inside the ruin of castle de Leiria for about 5 controls(3-4 min), then steep down thru the old town of Leiria with tiny small alleys and very small streets. I managed 3-4 route choices longer/around which cost me 35 to 50 seconds each.. on the first half i wasn't aggresive at all. very tricky so i slowed down quite a bit.. end up like 3.5 min behind winner in about 20th place in heat 2.. |

| Event: Salomon NavStock 6-hour Raid
|
| adv race race 2:00:00 [3] *** 16 km (7:30 / km) +350m 6:46 / km | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| time, dist and climb are aprox... this is the part that i was able to keep a higher pace at Navstock adv race ( together with Wil - his foreign connection, we end up second today - as Foreigners).. we were leading about 3 hours into race..but i start having minor cramps after about 100 min. extremely hot today and my right foot hurt quite a bit the first 3.5 hours or so.. maybe i did not feel it afterwards. |
| adv race 2:00:00 [2] *** 12 km (10:00 / km) +250m 9:03 / km | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| about that time/dist the pace was at level 2 |
| adv race 1:00:00 [1] ** 4 km (15:00 / km) +50m 14:07 / km | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| roughly one hour was at walking pace. more cramps and no desire to do the second rogaine map |
| Note | |
| |
| pretty looong race(especially if one have to walk) on a hot day. nice course design by Barb C. and Mike W., but not the right timing for either myself or Wil. we plan to go at a good pace for 3 hours and then... but my pace slowed down after about 2 hours in the race ( while we were leading ) and somehow we extended our course by only... 2 hours. its so funny to have another 90 minutes and only 2 km to go.. on trails/almost flat.some junk mileage , but good enough to secure second spot by 10 points.. we missed the ..deer and lost there 60 points, and we probably (if we wanted) could add another 2 controls in that hour to spare which we had..but was too long anyway.. hope we'll recover within a week, since more stuff is coming up next month (Portugal and Czech R) |
