| Training in Slurf. Was good because Elisabeth and Peter started ahead of me, so I had fun catching them. Caught both of them already to the 1st control by taking the safer route around. Ran ahead of them for 4 controls and then decided to let Elisabeth through. Caught her 2 more times, despite taking a straight route (which I knew wasn't a good idea) through dark green thorn area. Great fun despite the worst weather ever. |

| Picking up controls. The weather was extremely unpleasant, slight drizzle and windy all the time. The most interesting part was that running with my headlamp, I couldn't see anything because the raindrops reflected light, so I had to stop every time I needed to read the map. And I did need to read the map quite a bit since despite setting the controls earlier that day I made about 10 minutes in mistakes. Also, some thorn hit my foot going through the side of my o shoe and it really hurts now (the next morning). |

| 5th national competition in Vlassakers map near Amersfoort. A beautiful day and - unusually for Dutch orienteering - electronic punching was used. The course planning was nice since it was varier in terms of lengths and difficulty of legs and control locations. I was not very sharp physically because, although I have logged 9 mistakes, the furthest time loss I can count is about 3 minutes and I lost 16 minutes to Clemens. I guess some speed training would be good if I were not so lazy. |
