| Day 4 of POM. City race in Abrantes. Nice weather. Had a good race until control #9 inside the castle. Didn't realize the easy passage to the outside because it was overprinted on the map by the connecting line to #10. Went backward then, losing about 3'. Too bad, missed the best time by 1'49"... |

| Another (and final) o training on Madeira island. Half an hour later on another map. Scale 7.5k this time. At Fanal, altitude 1150m and still in the fog. I found this to be the nicest terrain I ran on Madeira. Mostly open and with good runnability. I did 14 out of 22 controls on the map, avoiding the green part, where the routes would have been on trails anyway. |
