| I participated in Zagreb Open, city/park/forrest race in the Zagreb. Unique terrain - special mixture - but very unusual for the WRE event. Also very unusual map for the WRE event (not ISOM/ISSOM though organiser claimed it was). Some other minuses - no sport ident, very poor perforators on the CP's (we user better equipment for our local races!!!), very poor start area/corridor, no microlocations as promised, clock delay from start to finish (38 seconds!), etc.
Anyway - I enjoyed the race. I was not feeling very good before the race. I have eaten too much the previous day and I was short of sleep. I used some extra time before the start for warm up. Did a few laps in the park, ran to the start area, did a few laps there. During the race. I was quite fast in the flat city area and then very poor on the uphill. In the forrest I ran Herwig Allwingers tempo (but he had an operation recently, so he ran very reserved!), then I accelerated in the end (flat area again!). I was not very good in reading the map. I made a series of small mistakes in the forrest (Herwig was perfect on the map), which prevented me to be faster, but loss of time was not big. 1:40 alltogether. I finished in the top half of the M21 category, which gives me hopes for two things: beating my WRE record which is embarassingly low at the moment and getting status of national level sportsman - but more about that some other time. | ||

| Note | |
| I may seem strange to some people, writing this log - and in English. Oh, well ... There are a few advantages of writing down all the statistics. It shows up after a few years.
I have been browsing my competition logs from 2004, 2005 and 2006. I extracted only one data - kilometer time. My average time per kilometer was: In 2004 - 15:28 In 2005 - 13:22 (average mistake 9:50) 9 of 28 competitions with really big booms In 2006 - 10:59 (average mistake 9:23) However - in M21E tracks are 20 - 100% longer! 6 of 32 competitions with really big booms. Well - to most of orienteers these times might sound as a disaster, however you should consider slovenian terrains with really difficult karst and/or really steep slopes. Compared with world champs I am 1.9-2 times slower on long/middle and 1.3-1.5 times slower on sprints. I have competed agains many aces this season: Marco Seppi (many times in Slovenia), Chris Terkelsen (on a sprint N.C. in Italy), Pijak brothers (on OO.cup in Slovenia) and half of the world elite on WUOC (Michal Smola, Simon Krepsta and O. Kvaal Osterbo have been the winners). | ||
