Long distance race in France - ran much better and eventhough I made two mistakes + hesitated to some of the controls I managed to take the 2th place, 31 sec behind Simone Niggli. Good feeling to get an ok race, but watching the split times there is still a job to do - I loose much time also to the controls where I did no mistakes...

Model Event on the WOC 1987 map in france

Middle distance compitition in France. My head was somewhere else and my legs were tired, I made two bigger mistakes, but was behind with the map readning the whole way and lost time everywhere....Bad race, but new chance tomorrow.

Route Choiches in Schmidwald.

Green features training - the map was 3 years old so sometimes it was difficult to only read on the vegitation, but managed it quite good eventhough I was hesitating a little. ( The map had no black details, so no roads...)

First masstart with forking, not always fair. Ran ok, but made 2 smaller mistakes here - was 4th in the end.

Then individual start with 15 sec intervals, my best round - made no mistakes and catched the girls running in front of me.

Then masstart with 6 and 6 people, also here with strong forking, hesitated to the first control and was unable to close the gap to Rahel and Ines, but was nr 3 in my heat.

Last cheasing start after the first mass start - everyone came very wrong to the first controll because we were not starting at det right place, and we were therefore many together. I was tired but stayed in touch with Judith and Tone the whole way. Thought they made a mistake to the last control, so tried to attack, but it was I that was wrong...

Longdistance traning in Langenthal Ost 1:15000, ran good but had some problems finding det the control flag.

Short middle distance as qualification for the afternoon's knock-out sprint. Ran good execpt of one control where I didn¨t check my compass enough and found my self fare to much to the right. Lost 30 sec here

Knock-out sprint with quarterfinal, semifinal and final. The three best from each heat was qualified for semifinal, but because we were too few woman the quarterfinal did not count and everyone was in the semifinal. (Lucky for me who got 4th after a stupied mistake in a parking house). Semifinal the two best was direct qualified and the third could get lucky looser. I ran a good sprint and was always in second position untill the second last control. Then Rahel past me, but I sprinted good an was able to take the second place. In the final I started to be tired and halfway there was no more power. 5th place.
