| Running with Andraz and Ivan. I started from home, met Andraz in 5 minutes, then Ivan in the next 5, up to Golovec and then cruising around. In the middle a bit of rest (Andraz made his intervals) and then back. For Andraz this was a run out, for me it was quite a long training.
I feel my knee. |

| N.C. Sprint. Nice forrest sprint, fast and technical. I was not very well accustomed to the scale and standard, besides I was slow with my thinking. I had to stop a lot and recheck things. I went very secure.

| Warm up before the race. I was also organiser today of the Pre-O race, but I left it behind and concentrated on the clubs championships race. 25 prior to my start I left the finish area for a warm up. It was a nice thing to do, which let me start quite well. |

| Clubs championships OK Azimut - the race of the year
It was a lovely race today on the map of Martinj Hrib 2. Terrain amazing and very technical, course great and again very technical (up to the finish itself - no simple last leg, no simple leg at all).
I started with reserve - using the paths, getting aquainted with the map. Then I accelerated. I ran alone, Janez to far ahead, other competitors quite slow behind. I was not really full speed, but I was accurate and I practically nailed CP's up to 6th. Amazing, really. And I was in the lead on the CP6! Really smooth. I made first major mistake then - 1'. I was not careful and I have been looking for the CP on the cluster of rocks too early. And then got a bit irritated and really didn't see the flag (an I was looking at the right spot). At this point I felt tired. Really tired. And my speed lowered quite a bit. Also my technique was not that perfect anymore. I went OK to 8th, completely misjudged 9th as I had seen it was in the valley (not on the hill!). Another very good leg was to 10th, however Janez was extremely fast here. I took a bad route choice to 11th, I slowly left the previous CP, going low, not directly and I complicated too much. Another amazing leg was to 13th - again I left aside my original plan to follow the route far around and kept a straight line with some additional unmaped small paths leading the direction. However - I don't remember running the crucial part of this leg. ;)
Overall I am satisfied. One of the best races - I slowed down when I needed to and I ran a perfect half of the course. Not very fast though. |
| Trail-O race 45:00 [2] *** 2 km (22:30 / km) +50m 20:00 / km | |
| spiked:18/18c shoes: New Balance 1023 |
| I ran through the Trail-O race today. The problem was that I was left behind with no map (after prize giving for the clubs championships) and then I started by far the last and had to keep up. I made decisions about CP's instantly. Not taking much time. Looking at the map even when running. I only took time for 2 CP's. The hury did cost me 1 point (which would get me to 2nd or 3rd place), but ... 6th place was very good - beating 2007 World Champion, 2007 World Paralympic Champion and Silver Medalist from WTOC 2008 in Paralympic. :) Damn. :) Vlado was great (2.) and Dusa (7.). |

| Running 30:00 [3] 5.8 km (5:10 / km) +15m 5:06 / km | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom Skylon |
| Standard lap on the PST. I have eaten 4.5hours ago (pizza) and I felt it in my stomach and I could not run. I had many such experiences lately, which means I should not eat a major meal at lest 6 hours prior to competitions, which is crucial in the races with late starts. I've never performed well there.
I felt my knee, but it is allright. Besides I ran almost the whole track without any acceleration. |
