About orienteering… A sport that can be discovered only by who has the curiosity to go in the middle of the forest with a map and a compass in his hand.

Spring Cup 03.04.2011 – Baraj

14/05/2011 admin Leave a comment

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 …

Juniper Open Spring 26.02.2011 – Tazlar(Hungary)

14/05/2011 admin Leave a comment

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:

Maramures Trophy 29-30.01.2011 – Baraj

07/04/2011 admin Leave a comment

On a very nice time, took place Maramures Trophy at Baraj. I have not skied for more than 6 years, and I could not wait to put skis on my feet. Although snow was just alittle, skiing was possible during the route. There were not many participants, but I totally enjoyed the competition. The nicest moment of the trip was when within a few meters before the end of my route, trying to stop the timer, I stumbled to the top of something and I fell like a pancake Below you can see the map from the first day.

Stage two was slightly more animated. Time was as beautiful as the day before and I was still able to ski all the route. I must admit that after the end of the competition I could feel the exhaustion in my arms and that I have not skied at all for such a long period of time. Unfortunatelly, I miss the times when the snow was so huge during the winter in our area …

Guilty…

06/04/2011 admin Leave a comment

Yes, I am guilty that I did not update the site in a while and I apologize to all visitors who waited for news from this part of the web. Work took me all the time, has taken over other activities, such as updating the blog, leaving place only for those which are absolutely necessary, and just like that several months have passed without any news. But I set the foot down and I managed to prepare a new look for the blog, proper for this season, and I hope I will soon offer a few surprises. Yes, there are ideas, but like any idea, to come alive, it takes time, and time is passing quickly and ruthless when we try to do so much … On the other hand, see you in the forest, as orienteering is a pleasure that I currently keep on top, until … time … work …

Happy New Year!

29/12/2010 admin Leave a comment

While in winter has in more and more rights, we are moving slowly towards the next year. Again, we sit and look back at the nearly 365 days elapsed titled ‘2010 ‘and we start to make calculations: We were better or not? We achieved all that we wanted or not? And the list could go on …
With tinkling of bells and reindeer steps, the new ‘list’ comes to life for each of us.
But which will be the new expectations for 2011? Thus is born a new list, where we put our hopes for next year: to be better and accomplish as many goals as we want.I wish everyone a happy new year, good health and happiness and fulfillment of all desires! Happy New Year!
