Place 26 was the result of yesterday's long distance. Technically, I did something too much zick zack and missed control 17 for nearly a minute (the whole mini-valley was green which confused me a little bit). But physically, it felt better than at WOC long quali and relay, so I hope that I made...

After one week of sunshine at WOC, it looks like one week of raining at CISM. Still in Norway, this time in Kongsberg, I was running CISM short distance yesterday. Except of a not so good beginning, it went quite well, losing three minutes to the winner Thierry Gueorgiou. The area around and...

Good beginning – bad ending This would represent my whole world champs week. The sprint at the beginning was satisfying, I ended up on place 22 after a technically good race. In the long distance qualification I had a good start, no problems at the early controls, but the longer the race got,...

One day after the long distance qualification my disappointment continues about the missed final, particularly because my race was technically not that bad. Althoguth, after a more detailed analysis, I have to say that I didn't chose the best route choices or had a bad implementation of my...

The qualification race in WOC sprint was my first competition since 5 weeks, so I didn't really know in which shape I would be after my injury. Anyway, I had a good feeling ahead of the race, but was already quite unsecure in my route choice to the second control. This continiued throughout the...

Finally, I managed to run again in the forest without any pain. One month after the injury with a torn ligament, I dared to run in the forest. I was very happy with the result, as there was no pain any more. It was an important test for me ahead of WOC, to know that my ankle is stable again. After...

...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...

Second stage of Nordic Orienteering Tour was hold in Stockholm, with the qualification and quarter final in the university park and semi-final and final in the old town. Prior to the competition, my goal was to reach the quarter final, which ment to be in the top 30. Concerning the strong starter...

Jukola 2010 est passé. I was running the last leg in my team Helsingin Suunnistajat1. I think our club had something about 20 teams :) I looked forward to an challenging competition and the forest kept what it promised. I had a good beginning, but getting a little bit lost the first time to control...

Last weekend I took part in Austria's academic championships. Saturday was sprint, on Sunday middle distance (downhill competition :) Nor on Saturday, nor on Sunday I had any bigger problems or mistakes, but split times showed something different. Being already about 20 seconds behind on Saturday...
