| Night-O in Clingen dael. While it is a park map, Mietta had done a good job mixing in some park and city O with some compass directions exercises (none of which I performed well). Great weather and great fun. |

| My first night-o session in years. It was fun, even though the map was easy (park) and it was mostly trail running. Though it has to be said that it felt good flying through the woods as well. |

| ahr:155 spiked:10/15c |
| The second day of Yetiloop. I felt much better or rather both me and Peter felt equally bad, so it was easier for me to keep up with him. All my positive impressions of the event were spoiled by control #7, which we had to plot in the map according to the coordinates given to us and then it was actually set in a dense bush (it was laying on the ground as well) about 50-70 meters from the place where it had to be both according to the map and to the control description. We lost 25 minutes looking for it... Which, to be honest, did not cost us any places (we came 6th), but cost quite a bit psychologically, especially because it happened within the first quarter of the course... |

| Orienteering race 3:26:01 [3] *** 22 km (9:22 / km) +150m 9:03 / km | |
| ahr:168 spiked:9/16c |
| The first day of Yetiloop. The race tested my endurance to its limits, I started seriously bonking about 8 km before the finish, although I kept running for 97% of the time (walked the uphills in the end). My partner - Peter - was much stronger than me and only thanks to him the total of our errors was limited to about 15 minutes because my brain switched off at the end. |

| "Ziemas Magnets" in Breksi near Riga. Did not have the necessary power in the second half. Was beaten by 10 minutes by 18(?) years old Margers, who is FAST. |

| "Latvijas Gaze" cup in Baltais purvs map near Murjani, Latvia. I did not feel good running, so I am happy losing 14 minutes to the winner, considering I made mistakes of at least 8. Very interesting terrain. |
