Spring Cup 03.04.2011 – Baraj

Although I left home in a really good mood, when I arrived at Baraj, I was extremely excited. No longer I did not expect anyone but me (that’s right, I never asked about who will be there, plus I know that there are contests in other cities – although not recently checked the calendar, due to extra-mega-crowded schedule that I had, and I could not know that there is no other competion in the area), to which I was convinced that the other orienteers participate. So the surprise to see so many people there was very pleasant.

I do not think I took the best route to thefirst control, and at 6st control … already felt the climbing in my feet. After Melinda and Monica already had passed on me, I still wanted to go in my rhythm but … surprise .. At control 9, on the road, I stumbled and I got  hurt my hand and knee in a portion just full of stones. Needless to say I started to run slowly only when I felt like my knee does not hurt.

In 16 control, I was wrong and went in the valley, where I had seen the top of a cliff and I thought is the right one … ! By the end of the route we have not had noticeable mistakes, but I tried not to push the knee, which already had a big bruise …
The competition was extremely successful, with an excellent weather, with many people who made ​​the competition even more enjoyable, and I hope next year we will see the same formula at the beginning of spring …

Spring Cup 20.03.2011 – Baraj

Although outside was like a rainy winter, I had the ‘courage’ and went to Baraj to do a training. As was the understanding, although the competition was for cyclists, I decided to go on the route (a bit long for me) running. I have never done a complete turn around Baraj, and the novelty of the places grew the pleasure of running although the rain persisted to make its presence felt. I expected that route, which was more than 12km, take me longer, but I made 86 minutes on it. The result obtained was good compared with the physical training that I realized lately, especially in terms of long distance running. This was a good opportunity to prepare for the long race which will be held in April, although my only goal in this competition is to make a ‘nice’ route.

Juniper Open Spring 26.02.2011 – Tazlar(Hungary)

Although my participation in this competition was under question, because of planning the travel to the place where the competition was held, in the end I had the pleasure of taking part in Juniper Open. I say pleasure because it really was. I haven’t ran on such a demanding map since Croatia Open in 2010, and the challenges the land raised were very interesting. The map was technical, and in the first day, I have made lots of mistakes, both because of distance, and because of orienteering (some of them so silly mistakes), especially due to lack of technical training. From my point of view the competition was successful: the map was technical, had demanding routes, the area was interesting, and vegetation that has not grown properly yet, sometimes was more confusing than helpful.

Below are maps that I ran:
