Event: JWOC 2010 Aalborg DENMARK
 

last day of the event. I started first, which was not the best while it was a lot of high grass in the forest. I really have to fight for every meter. I started really well to the first control, a long route. Then I had a couple of controls in a really tricky and strange part. I didn't understand the map at all and missed so much. On three controls in a totally length of 500m I had 17 minutes!! :O Silly. The rest of the course went well. We had one more long route, and I definitely took the right way to that one too. It was a pity I missed so much at the controls in the start (over ten minutes), thanks to that I missed my 3rd place in the overall. Think I come at 4th place overall now. Really satisfied with the week tough, so much good training and nice orienteering experience.

middle distance stage 5. I missed the flow and was really tired in my legs. Did some silly mistakes in the end otherwise it was okay, but in a easy middle like this one you need the flow :p

stage 4 and first day in Austria and the north Tyrol. Quite okay race, missed some minutes on one control and a bit unsure of some route choices, should have run around more. Come second today!! :D very hard in the warm weather!! and the long and tough course, I run for a double so long time as I use to have at home.

The Tyrols sprint champs, Fulpmes. A very funny, and some times tricky sprint in a village called Fulpmes.The start was delayed 30 minutes, and while I should start almost first I was already at the start when they decide to delay the start. It was just for me to wait, first they said 15min delay and then 15 more. Pretty good race, come in 3rd place.

stage 3, chasing start. I went out as number 2 just before a girl from Switzerland. They let me go some second to late and her some before her time so she catch me up already to the second control then I saw her the whole race. She was faster and stronger than me but I was so much better at the orienteering. She stop at every control for almost 10 seconds so I catch her up at every controls. She had the best split time and I was just there after (even if jenny was between us).

middle distance, stage 2. A really tricky course that took long time. Good race. very green in one part.
