Running warm up/down 8:00 [2] 1.3 km (6:09 / km) +40m 5:20 / km

Warming up before the last day of racing.

Orienteering race 38:18 [5] **** 4.04 km (9:29 / km) +215m 7:29 / km
ahr:176 spiked:14/20c

The last day of OO Cup (chasing start in Letus map) and my best result - 7th place, less than 4 minutes behind the winner. I guess karst terrain fits me much better than the extreme stony one and it helped that I had two guys following me and correcting my course when I went off the line. Very happy with myself for this run.

Orienteering race 1:46:23 [3] **** 7.31 km (14:33 / km) +440m 11:11 / km
ahr:170 spiked:8/17c

2nd day of OO Cup in Mala in Velika Planina map. The walk to the start was a mile with 300 m climb and I started about 20 minutes after finishing this walk and besides it was extremely hot with just one refreshment point, which resulted in me breaking down at the end and almost walking for half a kilometre. I still managed the 17th place, losing 36 minutes to the winner. The orienteering part in the forested area was one of the most technically intense I have ever done.

Orienteering race 48:07 [4] ***** 3.39 km (14:12 / km) +245m 10:26 / km
ahr:175 spiked:9/18c

First day of OO Cup in Rakove ravni map. Made way too many huge mistakes, it just shows how not used I am to running in very hilly and extremely detailed rocky terrain. The worst run of the three-days, 24th place in M21A, 16 minutes behind the winner.

Orienteering 52:03 [2] **** 3.35 km (15:32 / km) +265m 11:08 / km
ahr:165 spiked:6/12c

Training before the OO Cup in Tolsti Vrh map. A few major mistakes and very tough run physically, although I was trying to take it very easy.

Bicycling 28:00 [3] 8.0 km (3:30 / km) +20m 3:27 / km

Bicycling to frisbee training.

Frisbee warm up/down 30:00 [2]

Warming up for a frisbee game.

Frisbee 1:00:00 [4]

Included only the time I actually played. The only problem with frisbee, which is otherwise a lot of fun, is that the side to side movements make my feet hurt and blister.

Bicycling warm up/down 30:00 [2] 8.0 km (3:45 / km) +20m 3:42 / km

Bicylcing hme after frisbee.

Bicycling 19:40 [3] 7.5 km (2:37 / km) +40m 2:33 / km
ahr:163

Rode to training in Meijendel. Had to ride hard because was afraid to be late.

Orienteering 57:10 [3] *** 4.2 km (13:37 / km) +70m 12:34 / km
ahr:164 spiked:7/12c

Route choice training with Elizabeth in Meijendel map. Messed up one of the controls badly and had lots of issues with keeping the compass direction. It did not help that the vegetation ont he map is in full bloom by now, so very thorny, lots of nettles, etc. Had fun though.

Bicycling warm up/down 28:33 [2] 8.5 km (3:22 / km) +50m 3:16 / km
ahr:154

Bicycled back from the training via different route together with Elizabeth and chatted on the way, where the intensity was low. Alone I rode much harder.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [1] 2.0 km (7:30 / km)
ahr:147 rhr:70

Warm-up before the races.

Orienteering race 40:33 [4] *** 4.24 km (9:34 / km) +40m 9:08 / km
ahr:179 spiked:8/17c

First race of the Netherlands short championships. Very bad, lots of small errors and one 2-minute and another 5-7 minute one. The map was very vague and vegetation was mapped completely wrong. No fun.

Orienteering race 38:38 [4] *** 4.01 km (9:38 / km) +40m 9:11 / km
ahr:183 spiked:9/16c

The second race, one 1 minute, two 3 minute mistakes and a number of smaller wobbles. The same bad map, where some controls were put in areas that clearly were mapped wrong. Very disappointed with both the way the race was organized and my own performance.
