Cup In Memoriam 19.06.2010 – Cluj Napoca

Today I think I made mistakes for the whole year. :)

I started the route with wrong position for the map. So I thought I must go left, but I should proceed towards the right path from item K. Although here I lost two minutes, this is nothing. At controls that followed I raised … Item 3, Item 4 and item 5 … mistakes . Here I ended the suite, I took the rest of the controls without great difficulty.

I can only say that today I felt like a beginner in the woods and not much liked me:)

The route plan was successful (I mean the marking, but attending it in a wrong by me is just his own fault), and despite the warning code for rain, storm bypassed us.

In conclusion I drew some good teachings and I can only apply them  to future competitions!

Saturday took place the second edition of River Cup. The route changed from last year (it was shorter), but I think physically more demanding. After several weeks of rain, the excellent time we had, made the running to be a pleasure. And at the end of the race we had an interesting challenge: mud on the paths made me to slip on the last part of the route, on the descent, where  the only concern was to not wake up suddenly to the ground:)

Golden Compass 15-16.05.2010 – Cluj

During the past weekend, despite recommendations to stay home, especially because that I had to start a tiresome road next week, I could not resist and I attended the Golden Compass Cup. Of course, as expected, I wasn’t disappointed with this edition.
The first day I did the route without notable mistakes, only a small hesitation when I went from the second control the wrong direction, but I very quickly restored. Time was excellent for running, acceptable distance for my training, and the second place I obtained made me change my mind and compete in the second stage, too.

The next day, in the same area, the second phase took place. Nature has added a new factor that influenced running very much: mud. Paths were less passable, and the choice between my third control and the forth proved to be extremely uninspired. Issue guidance between items 9-16 were a delight and the cherry on the cake was the last section 16-17, where with my last resources I had to climb against the wind. Effort here exhausted me and I made a stupid mistake in 18th control where I went right around him, and only the

second attempt was successful. Therefore, the section was covered in 5 minutes: D However I’ve got revenge on the finnish where I did the best time (although I wasn’t the only one) with 13 seconds :)

If I draw the line and count, it looks like this: a competition with a technical route and a hopeful end which is the result of consistent training successfully coordinated by Mr. Racz:)
