 | MTB-O race (long) 2:20:00 [4] 24 km (5:50 / km) +700m 5:05 / km | |
| spiked:20/20c shoes: New Balance 765 |
| First time on the bike this year. MTB-O international race in Slovenj Gradec. Have had a flat tire after 3/4 of the race, so I had some foot-o until the end. Result ... Oh, well ... Winner went 1:20.
Track was physical and very technical. Long distance is a bit too much for me, anyway. Besides - my bike was half broken even before the race, so ... Anyway - great map, lots of uphill, lots of bike pushing ... And my attitude to the race was to enjoy. My club members started last, since we did not start the first day, so we caught up together on the CP5 and went relatively together up to CP15. There I broke off with a flat tire and one guy lost himself. I lost around 7 minutes by foot on the last part of the course and I have even beaten the other guy, who got lost. ;)
Overall - great day and great race. |

| Trail-O race 1:00:00 [1] ***** 1.9 km (31:35 / km) +10m 30:46 / km | |
| spiked:11/18c shoes: New Balance 1023 |
| My first Trail-O race ever. National league. It was a nice easy experience. There was quite some nice logic in the controls, although there were a few CP's I'd say were not well done, but ... It was my first race. ;)
Anyway - I did relatively OK. Finished 3rd - best of Slovenians and behind 2 croatian National Team members. ;)
If I don't succeed in Foot-O, I know where to start. ;) |

| Orienteering (map checking) 5:30:00 [1] 10 km (33:00 / km) +400m 27:30 / km | |
| shoes: New Balance 765 |
| Checking the new map of Martinj hrib 2. The terrain is great, mapping is OK. I was not very good with the map for the first part (but in the second everything was OK). It could be confusion, after getting to a REALLY GOOD terrain in a long time. Rythm of the map - continetal/karstic feeling is great. |

| University of Ljubljana Championships. I have been defending last year's bronze among the students. My running was nothing special. I felt quite strong before the race, also in the forest, but I was slow uphill and was a bit too careful orienteering.
I have been satisfied in the end.

| Control picking after the race. I could not run anymore. Had problems with pain in my spleen. Funny. |

| Knee seems to be better. I have felt it, but it did not hurt. |
