Last day at OOcup. Felt a bit better after a nights sleep and decided to try to run the last day as I had chance to be on the podium. The goal was to stay in the top 3 with a slow but clean run. The body did feel better than the previous day, but made two bigger mistakes, losing 2 minutes at 7 and 3 minutes at 14. As it turned out, the guy in 4th also had a bad day, so I held on to 3rd and won a bottle of wine :)

4th day of OOcup in a new area. Much faster woods with open deciduous forest and less rocky than the first days. Still karst and lots of depression contour detail though. Walking to the start I could feel that my stomach was not good and I felt weak. As I started running it became clear that I was not well. Absolutely dead legs, no breathing and felt hot and overheated. Made several mistakes as I was unable to focus properly on the map. Had to walk a bit even on flat roads. Anyway, I finished, but lost all my time down to the chasing pack overall.

"Sprint" in the karst on a 5000 scale map. Wow! Super fun and detailed orienteering. A few mistakes, but ok race. Patrick crushed everyone with 5 minutes!

Warm up.

"Long" distance in the super steep and detailed terrain. Very tough. Made a big mistake to the 4 control, a long sidehill leg. Went above it too far and had to come back. Got really tired towards the end, but did ok. Second on the day after Patrick.

Warm up.

Event: OO.cup/08 Slovenia
 

First race of OOCup in Slovenia. Very, very detailed karst terrain with lots of climb. I had a pretty good race with only two bobbles of around 3 minutes in total. This was good enough to win 21A Long! Strange... but people made gigantic mistakes.

Warm up.
