I lost quite a bit of time in the beginning without doing any real mistakes (45sec on the 3 first control on Matthias Merz!) and did 25 seconds mistake on 2 controls after 3/4 of the race. Other than that really satisfied with my race. I finished 3rd, 44 sec behind Matthias Merz who won. |

| Sprint selection race of the Swiss team in the town of Brugg. Made 40 to 45 second mistakes on control 9 and 10. Too bad, otherwise I would have been ok with my race. And still lost 1:15 (!) on Dani Hubmann who won. I finished 7th. |

| 2nd sprint selection race of the day in "Geissenschachen". It is a military training center. Super fast forest and fields with some barracks and military exercising objects.
I lost on 2 controls 25 seconds, other than that I had a clean run. I finished 5th, 30 seconds behind Dani Hubmann who won again.
The morning and the afternoon race showed 2 things:
1. I do too many bubbles.
2. I am too slow
... well, this sounds only like small adjustments, somehting like simply getting a better orienteer in general ;-).
I am somewhat disappointed to see that my shape isn't any better after having had the best winter training in my whole career. I don't see a change in comparison to other years where I had to fight with injuries and loads of school hours. |

| Orienteering training by my own in "Tête Plumée"... quite an adventure: I felt like somebody was holding a shower at 4 °C over my head, my pen I draw a course with wasn't waterproof and smirked the whole map and eventhough it was quite early in the evening it was so dark in the forest I almost needed a headlamp. |
