Distance gps: 10.95km

I had a bad night and woke up with a bad feeling (flu? fever?). I took a dafalgan and decided to go for an easy run. I started very easy untill winston overtook me. My plan was to run some controls with him, but i made a mistake at the 8th control (together with Jerre). Then i closed the gap with Winston again and stayed with him and Jerre untill the end. I never pushed hard and felt good during the race. Afterwards at home i felt worse again, i think i'm really getting sick.

Made a 2' mistake towards the 4th control. Some years ago i made also a mistake in that area during the 5days in the summer. Now i lost my chances for the podium here. The rest of the race was okay, only some very small mistakes (control 8, 14 and 15).
Again problems with calves and back during the race.

Physically: my calves are sore since some days and i also felt some pain in my lower back again during the race. But i'm surprised anyway that my speed is good compared with the others, since i didn't train very much anymore this winter.
Technically: an offday. I expected a lot from today, normally the terrain and map should suit me. But i made too many mistakes and bad routechoices (left the paths too often).

Made my first mistake towards control 4, i came out at ctrl 5 and it took some time untill i realized it. Then i tried to push harder to catch up with Jan Oeyen. Towards the 10th control i saw him and Wannes Hendrickx in front of me. It motivated me to try to run at high speed. At control 14 i passed both of them.
The long leg towards 16: i think i made a good routechoice, but started to hesisate close to the control. Towards control 20 again a mistake and so Jan Oeyen took the lead untill the finishline. Lost 2' in total, i think.

Sylvester day 2 - De Keiheuvel
Class: H21E
Result: 2nd http://kempen-ol.be/uitslagen/20101227.HTM#H21
Splits: http://kempen-ol.be/uitslagen/20101227/spl20101227...
Distance gps: 9.66km

About the result: in the results i have 49'29 (and on the splits it looks like i missed the 1st control), but i timed myself 48'57 (and i didn't miss the 1st control). Also at the absolute splittimes things aren't correct. I punched ctrl 16 before P. Denzler and in the splittimes they say i was 34sec behind him. I also reached the finishline 3seconds in front of Dirk Goossens and his time is 39'00. So i hope the organisation will adjust my result.
About the race: Good flow and orienteering in the beginning. Then from ctrl 7 untill 14 i had more difficulties with my flow and also some mistakes. Specially at control 14, here i lost 30 sec. Afterwards everything went fine again except control 24 (again 20 sec mistake).
