| Forth day on very similar terrain as the third day. The start was 250 metres elevation above the finish, so there was lots of downhill running. I did really well in this race. I only lost significant time on two controls. One was a transportation leg, with 100 metres elevation loss in 500 metre running... this was not easy for me with my painful knee. The other problem was a control close to the end in a very detailed area in the green. My best result of the week. |

| Third day down in the valley. Almost a sprint style race in open forest with negative topography. Packed with controls, change of direction and micro route choices. I felt good after the race, but in the end turned out that I had been a bit too cautious. |

| Second day also at Velika Planina, but course entirely in the more open alpine. Huge negative topography, with lots of climb. Was not able to keep the fast runnning speed required to be in the top in this terrain. Did well in the nav, except one control at the end that had been dug into a tiny pit. Could not even see the pit itself, unless standing right next to it, not to mention the flag inside the pit... a bit silly. Another great beautiful day in the mountains. |

| First day at the OOCup in Slovenia. Absolutely amazing place up in the alpine at a place called Velika Planina at 1500 m elevation. Hiked up 250 metres from the parking first. This was an extreme course in extreme terrain. First two controls was in open and fast grass land, but then the course went into very steep and rocky terrain in the forest, super packed with detail. Apart from missing the fast route to the third control, I did pretty well on the first half of the course, but then I got really tired in the brutal climb. Zero training in the last several months due to the tendonitis was not good enough on this course... still very happy, what a beautiful place!
