| WC sprint race in Stein am Rhein. 15th rank, loosing 41 seconds to Thierry. Very good technical race. About 8 seconds mistakes total. My pump wasn't working with full power though... maybe the reason for the little mistakes?!?
Anyway, very nice sprint. Motivating to get better at it. |

| WC middle distance Stein am Rhein. 15th, 4min 5sec behind Thierry!!! Made a 45 second mistake to #1, than a few smaller ones... but a quite ok technical race.
Felt really tired by the middle of the course... being out of shape is not fun. Looking forward for better days! |

| Spent a day helping organizing a "Scool" event in Les Genevey sur Coffrane. which is an orienteering event for kids... during lunch I planed to go jogging... I climbed and climbed and suddenly I was on top of the Mont-Racine. Amazing autumn atmosphere and view on the alps... on such special runs it makes me believe that I could keep on running forever... with a smile on my face and on my soul. |

| Sprint training set up by the Swiss team in Zofingen. Supposed to be really relevant for the WC on Sunday. I ran from the 1st to the 3rd control and lost 30sec there, than 3x I didn't see the control at its feature... other than that pretty clean. Lost 50seconds to Daniel Hubmann, so that is ok considering my mistakes... which of course shouldn't happen. It felt really tough physically at the end to deal with the lactate, astonishingly it was than that I was the fastest.
Fun training... it is good to orienteer full speed again! |
