… go to Portugal for longer period. 10 days, 7 races, 7 trainings in space without snow. My shape wasn’t incredible, but I had good connection between running and thinking. In two races (POM day3 and NAOM sprint) I lost this control. In the rest of fife races I did a good job, especially in two WRE races (POM day2 and NAOM classic), and in my best race NAOM middle, where I was fast and had totally clear race! What a feeling. I will keep it in my mind.
The whole January I’ve spent in Wroclaw. It’s not typical situation for me as a polish runner and member of Polish Team, Polish Military team. Normally, in winter we have sport camp, after sport camp and then some sport camp (of course 99% of work we do there is running, the rest is orienteering 1%). I didn’t waste my time in Wroclaw. I was training hardly (January 48h). I was lucky because of snow. It was good condition for skiing and what was more important for me, I could do a lot of tough running in deep snow. It was great simulation of running in mountains in completely flat area. In first part of February I went to polish mountains on short sport camp. There I got an idea: snow labyrinth. We realized it, with my friend Wojtek, after one hour of digging. You can wach it in full HD:

Now I’m sitting on London airport. Soon (in 7h) I have a plane to Portugal. With my O-friends from club Grupo Desportivo Quatro Caminhos, I will forget about snow, -10 degrees and start to train my real sport ORIENTEERING, because this winter I was only a runner.
