| WOC Long distance qualification race in Kiew.
Very different terrrain than what we have been training on so far in Kiew. Usually we trained in closed forest similar to last years WOC in Denmark, today it reminded me more of the terrain I experienced in San Francisco... lots of semi open forest and bushes with often mediocre visibility. Interesting landscape forms with many valleys and sharply cut edges.
My race went on pretty well. I didn`t do any bigger mistake... but quite a few smaller (about 7x 10 to 30 sec mistakes). But I guess this was part of the deal running in this demanding terrain, as I still won my heat.
I also know my shape is fine. As I was struggling with pain in my left leg for quite a while now I wasn`t so confident.
Now I have three days to hang around, enjoy the middle final and get ready for the final... I am looking forward for this challenge. |
