| I made a quite a few mistakes in last race of OO.cup (0', 1:30, 1:00, 0', 1:00, 7:00, 0', 4:00, 1:00, 0', 0', 0', 0:30, 0', 0', 0', 0', 1:00, 6:00, 5:00, 0', 0', 0'). Quite some mistakes. 21 minutes. But regularly and I was slow therefore. In the end - my knee sort of failed. Excessive pain ... Felt like I won't be able to train a few days or maybe even a few weeks?! I need to make some leg analysis. |

| Now - today's race counts as the most difficult race I've ever done. 9 km of length might be misleading. it was 9km on Stonah map, for some people maybe the most difficult slovenian map. Winner ran below 9 min/km, but ... This was world class elite.
Anyway - once during the race I lost contact with the map, but I had luck - followed some guys from M35 to my control. Otherwise I studied map a lot and ran very safe. I did quite some mistakes thoug:
1:30 to first, 2:30 to second, 0:30 to the third, ran safe to 4th, but lost 2:00 on a bad route choice, 1:00 to fifth ... Didn't follow the map to 8th, but minor loss - 3', 0:30 to 9th, safe route choice to 10th, 0:30 to 12th, 0:30 to 13th, 0:30 to 14th, 0:15 to 15th, 0:15 to 16th, talked with Daniel on waterstop to 17th, 1:00, safe to 18th, no loss, but slow, another waterstop to 19th, 0:30, searched a bit for 23rd, 1:30, then ok.
Alltogether: 16'. Not really much for such a map.
Anyway - I am pleased with the race. Not too much mistakes. I went slow, but I went on for 2 hours and 20 minutes. The longest race ever. I intend to run around 2 hours and something on WUOC - according to the terrain in the long distance (13,5km). My endurance seems to be OK now. My legs hurt a bit, but I think tomorrow I will be allright.
The winner ran around 1:20 today. Salopek ran 15' better then I did. |

| Disaster. A few more such races and I could leave orienteering. I boomed to first - very simple, very basic. Then I went OK to 2nd, boomed hard to 3rd. Semiopen areas of Soriska planina kill me. I have no feeling for orienteering there (or my compass is completely wrong on that ground). I was quite unsure of myself then, I needed lots of time with the map - no running. Everything seemed wrong. I made a bit of mistake (went too far) to 8th, then did good job on the long leg - into the completely messy part of the map. In the difficult area I could not follow the map. Not even if I just stood there and looked around. It just wasn't right. However - I preserved the direction and I did practically no mistakes. Running great to 12th and then to last controls and finish.
Made 23' of mistakes alltogether. The leader had a time of 35 minutes (I would have 46 without mistakes, this way I had 70). Really nice. ;) |

| Warm up before the race. 1.3 km and 250m ... Uphill ... Then a bit of streching. There was no place to warm up running in the start area. |

| I have mixed feelings about todays race. I went around to KT1, taking a safe track then havin gproblems with locating the right path (15"), to the second it was allright I just couldn't make the climb very fast. First mistake to 3rd (30"), from following the compass I got too low. Bad rutechoice ot 4th (2'), big mistake to 5th (6') - again - I didn't make the climb son enough, which I should. I was trying to locate the saddle from below the slope and I couldn't find it, so I followed the slope for quite a long time and lost touch with the map. Another mistake to 6th (45"). I wasn't following my original plan and got distracted in a parallel mistake with "Catching Features". Bad route choice to 7th (45'), I made quite some extra climb. Fast to 8th, problems with reading map (15"), I ran great to 10th and 11th (running the azimuth, following the map great!), the rest of the course was easy.
Alltogether: 10'15" of mistakes. With that I could reach 10' per km. |

| Easy jogging with Tina. Partly pretty hard. Finishing in a decent tempo - quite below 5:00 per km. In the beginning pretty tired from a long day, at the end I could easily run harder. |
