Stage I - Mountain Bike Orienteering National Championship

Mountain Bike Orienteering National Championship 30.09 – 02.10.2011 – Baia Mare

If after the first stage I can only reproach hesitation in the first control and a weak technical downhill in rocky area, the second day is a different story. I made ​​mistakes in the first six controls, and then I’ve not even tried further, as it was really impossible to change anything. The third day I decided to go more careful, and this gave results :)

National Championship O-MTB ULD + Romanian Cup O-MTB 23-24.07.2011 Maramures

I was nervous that I will not get in time, considering that I arrived in the competition area just before the start. The reason was that the newly purchased bicycle support was hard to fix and that caused quite a few problems.

The route went well until the section between 12 and 13. The map shown roads that had to be roads, but they were rather paths drowned in the grass, thorns and nettles. After I have struggled going on that roads, I reached the control and … surprisingly the control was not. :-) Station was already picked up and the remaining thing was a ticket.

From there until the end I have not made ​​mistakes, but I clearly reduced speed.

The next day, although the time was not favorable, this was un-noticed because of beautiful and full access by bike of the route that I had. It should highlight that the map for this stage was new. So far, the second day was from my point of view, the most successful of the two days of competition.

Mountain Bike Orienteering National Championship 10.10.2010 – Dumbravita

Today I attended the National Championship Mountain Bike orienteering. The weather was excellent, just good for riding the bike!

The first impact was related to the first two controls which were missing. While normally this would upset me, I had the experience of the last week (when missed three controls) :). I found codes and confetti on the ground, so I cycled on …

The route was excellent, with interesting sections (which I ride without mistakes), and a long course. Even I was surprised and also glad that I did great on such a long distance. I can say that at least for me it was the best mountain bike route guidance so far.

Below you can see a map and some pictures from the scene.

National Championship Orienteering with Mountain Bike 09-11.07.2010 – Baia Mare

Stage I 7/9/2010 – Sprint

Although the day started pretty bad and my mood before the first round was not ideal, the race had an unexpected end. I started to the first control after hard rains in recent days and I did no mistake until control 4. Here, map was blurred and confused me, and rather than take the first left on unpaved road, I took another road. It took me a few moments to  realize where the mistake occurred. On  the other controls I had not problems and I finished the route with the best result in class.

Stage II 10/07/2010 – Long distance

The second stage was definitely more than my physical training could deal and I felt this especially from control 7:).

Stage III 11/07/2010 – Middle distance

Average stage distance has continued with the same hard mud. I chose a totally uninspired route between item 3 and 4 and made a major mistake between controls 7 and 8, which I cut me the chances.

Overall results were satisfactory in this competition and hopefully next year will be even better:)
