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.
