Map (with routechoices): http://imageshack.us/f/821/dilsenebos20120226.jpg/

Already towards the 1st control i lost my motivation. The forest wasn't nice to run through and running on the paths felt so boring. Wasn't really orienteering, no focus, just running on paths and thinking about other things. Luckily the mapreading was easy, so you didn't need real focus. Often thought about stopping the race.
Physically i had again a tired feeling. I felt slow whole the time, no power. Also my heartrate was too low again.
Lost some time because of bad routechoices; ctrls 1, 3, 22, 23 and 27.

I hope i'll feel better next sunday at the national champs. Should think about the best way to recover and get ready for it.

Planned to do 4 of these intervals. But had no power in my legs and wasn't running at high speed. Also my HR wasn't high enough. Still tired after POM probably. Hope that i'll find my good legs from the week before Pom again soon.

Really nice terrain. Didn't feel great during the race, specially in the uphill parts. After fighting to punch the 1st control, i was running together with Ken and Thomas. Thomas and me had totally the same forking during the butterfly. His orienteering was really good and he ran in the lead (of our group) most of the time. Towards the 9th control i slipped (because there was ice on the ground), hurt my knee and broke my compass. I could continue my race, but it was difficult to orienteer without compass. Thomas lost his SI towards control 15, so i continued running in a group with Bourrin and Seppi. All the other runners in the group were running in superelite and they had an other control at 20. I punched their control and found it out when i came at 21. Didn't want to turn back, so decided to jog to the finish.

Today was the big goal of our Portugal trip but it became a disappointment. Physically i felt ok, but not great. Technically i did a bad performance. Lost already 4 minutes at the 2nd control and made again a big mistake at control 9. Tried to keep on pushing and focusing on good orienteering, but didn't succeed in it.
still suffering a cold, running nose.

Coursedistance: 10.9km

It was a long distance mass start race. The first 6 controls you could take in order that you prefered. But all runners made the same decision and same order. Towards ctrl 3 i was 1min ahead of Thomas and Hoekie (together with some French runners), but at control 5 we lost some time. There Thomas and Hoekie were in the lead and i could catch up with them again at 6. From that moment on we were with 3 together in the head of the race. We ran together untill control 21 (from 6 - 20 was not really technical). At control 21 they didn't see me punching the control and i was a bit ahead (15sec). But i ran too far towards ctrl 22 and lost more than 1 minute. Thomas and Hoekie were gone and i ran at an easy pace towards the finish (control 30).
Physically i felt good today, but pitty that i made the mistake at control 22.

Class: 1h30
Results: http://www.esprit-raid.org/Organisation/2012/CO11f...

After our run in the cave, we decided to run only 1h during the night-o. I immediately went to the most technical part. There were many controls on 1 hill. The problem was that i was reading the 1/10000 map and not the extract (1/5000). Many details and features were missing on the 10.000 map so i never knew where i was looking for. For me it was bingo orienteering and ofc i lost lots of time. Stupid that i didn't use the extract, because it was a nice area and map for sure.

Problems with falling asleep because of the cold weather.
Chasing start. We did a technically good race today, lost 1min at control 4 and 2min at control 6. The rest of the orienteering (done by Ken) was good.
Again Ken was stronger, specially on the steeper hills i had troubles with keeping up with him. In the end we finished 9min ahead of Melis-van der Kleij. Goubau-Delmee were 3rd and Michiels-Genar 4th. Actually Joost was 2nd, but he ran without teammate.

Karrimhoc day 1 - Rance
Class: A (teammate: Ken Peeters)
Coursedistance: 17.3km
Result: 1st

Mass start and almost everyone lost 2min at the 2nd control. Towards the 4th control Ken accelerated and only Joost Talloen was together with us. We ran the whole race together with 3 and made 1 big mistake (5min) at the 10nd control. Here Michiels-Genar passed us (also Melis-van der Kleij and Goubau-Delmee were right behind us there). Luckily Michiels-Genar made a mistake towards the 11nd control. So Joost, Ken and me could finish in 1st position, 5min ahead of the others.
Physically i wasn't as strong as a year ago (normal if you check my recent trainings) and Ken was stronger for sure.
