...nothing. sitting at home and keeping my ankle up on the table. Well, that's what I will be doing this week after twisting my ankle in Austria's Long distance Championship in Tyrol last sunday. The competition was organised in a newly mapped terrain, a very demanding terrain, both, physically...

Jukola 2010 est passé. I was running the last leg in my team Helsingin Suunnistajat1.

Last saturday, the Austrian Sprint Championships were organised in the "Kurpark Oberlaa". Somehow I'm surprised, that the previous map is only from the year 199x, as the park is very suitable for sprint orienteering. I had two goals for this championship. I wanted to defend my title from the last...
