| Sore throat and all that jazz. The crappy thing is that I have to miss 4 competitions in one day because of that... |

| spiked:15/17c |
| WCOC meet at Danbury. A great day for orienteering, unfortunately the course that was offered was a mountaineering course. I ran perhaps about 40% of the whole course because the rest of the time it was either a very steep uphill or a very steep downhill. I lost interest and concentration around the middle of the course, which resulted in two 3-4 minute mistakes, which should not have been there because the navigation was really straightforward. |

| Latvian long-O ("marathon") championships, Raiskums, Latvia. I was ready to go to Europe to avoid orienteering long distance (in Highlander) but it was not meant to be - my brother has enrolled me for the Long-O chmps on Saturday. |
| Running warm up/down 6:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Falcon |
| Warm-up before the marathon champs. |
| Orienteering race 2:55:45 [3] *** 16.1 km (10:55 / km) +800m 8:45 / km | |
| spiked:24/34c shoes: Falcon |
| Latvian marathon-O champs with mass start. A very nice day for running. I ran H21A thinking that I would be able to be close to the leaders. Not so, mistakes of 20+ minutes plus a 4 minute route choice error and my bad shape put me 41 minutes back from the winning time. The fact that I ran completely alone for 90% of the race did not help either. Cannot say that I loved the map - 10 minutes of my mistakes I will blame on that. Otherwise it was quite a challenging test of orienteering skills. |
