Also, I must admit that I looked forward to take part in a ski-orienteering competition, especially as I gave up the idea to participate in the National Championship.
Fine weather, lots of snow and Skore type competition. I chose from the start to get down to control 36, I continued the track with controls 35 and 43, and at control 32 I have been more careful as the others and took the right track, avoiding a detour and a considerable climbing. I was wrong to control 42, when I thought it will be easier on the road, but climbing was difficult and the option taken proved to be disadvantaged. :) Some nice downhill were followed by missing control 33, and another super :) downhill to 37, ended with several other controls on the right road.
I really enjoyed the competition, although I came home with a pain at my arms (read: muscle soreness), and I will try to take advantage of snow as much as possible to go out several times at ski sessions, even if they are not combined with orienteering  :)

Maramures Trophy 29-30.01.2011 – Baraj

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 …

Maramures Trophy 15.07.2010 – Valea Borcutului

I have not forgotten the blog, but work …
Last weekend took place at Valea Borcutului – Maramures Trophy.
From my point of view competition was successful: although it was in an area I know fairly well, changes in recent years I’ve never ran into this forest have raised guidance for those unfamiliar with the area .
Therefore, if the first two controls I went without any hesitation, to next two I reduced running speed and I was careful to map, as several times been tempted to take it in the wrong direction.
The only drawback was the high heat from that day that made me think all the road only to a glass of cold water.
Overall was an excellent preparation for the National Championship which will take place next week.
