Eestii forest

the highest Estonian point 318m

CISM is always fun. You go to some country as a soldier. You stay in a military unit and see strategical places, that normally are hidden. Estonia is a small country (1/40 of Polish population) but their military units doesn’t remember Soviet times, Polish still remember.

On long distance my brain wasn’t in the top shape. I made mistake on 1’20” on the 5^th control. There caught me Matthias Merz on 2’. Then I could use 75% of my brain and 100% of my legs. On the way to 24^th control we went straight (two hilly, two green), we should go around from the right and be 1’45” earlier on the finish. Matthias was bronze medalist (80’47”) in this race. I was 2’ after him on 10^th place. The BIG winner was Daniel Hubmann 76’19”. Francois Gonon got silver 80’02”.

one more time /photo by www.mil.ee/ Two days later on THE REAL middle distance my brain and legs were better co-ordinated. Running only by myself I reached 12^th position. Without mistakes (1’40”) I could be 4^th. Yes, I know: “could”, but this is step up for me. I CAN PLAY IN EXTRA LIGE sometimes :)

Banach heh /photo by www.mil.ee/ Relay were in the same terrain as middle. It wasn’t easy. Swiss, Russia, Finland were on the top. Poland took 7^th place. I had, one more time, very good race and a nice fight with Andrey Khramov at the end of a race.

new PB

I took part in street race ("Bieg Solidarności") in Wroclaw. I won with time 15'36 on 5,2km, so my best time on 5km is now 15'00". This mean that I'm in live shape. It's a nice feeling, to know all I have to care during o-race is technics.

It's 9 days to Military World Orienteering Championship.
