Orienteering race 31:50 [2] *** 3.56 km (8:57 / km) +160m 7:18 / km
ahr:168 max:179 spiked:13/14c slept:7.0 shoes: VJ Irock (2012)
O-Tuesday in Karoliniškių šlaitas, B course, 3km. Started ok, but didn't feel strong in running, as right leg wasn't fully recovered yet and the recovery took some strength. 4th CP - could do some 10'' smoother, 6th - some 15'' hesitation near CP, but made quite indirect route, so some 30'' mistake. 8th - took a route on the slope, but should have taken the left route around, in paths - it was some 30'' faster. 9th - another successful direct try, but I guess the left route using paths was at least 1' faster (or maybe I was just too slow at this point). 12th - some 20'' in CP area. 1' in mistakes and some another 1'30'' in route choices.

ACO cup, Lazdynai forest (near Elektrėnai), men course, 6.5km. Superb air conditions - some 17C at start time. Started perfectly - first mistake on 7th CP - a little bit hesitated near CP - 15''. 15th - route choice mistake, took a route through right, while should have taken through left (didn't see it) - 30''. Only near 15th was caught by Rimvydas by 2', I anticipated him earlier. Just before punching 17th slipped on the mud and injured tarsus of the right leg. To 18th tried to slowly run after Rimvydas, he made small mistake - some 15'. Just before 18th understood that my race is over - the pain prevented from any running :( Then walked to the finish, just near 20th succeeded to make a 30'' mistake - walked right beside the pit, but didn't notice it. It could have been the best race of the season if could avoid the injury - could easily finish with Rimvydas in some 56'30'', as felt great in running. Shit happens...
The second test of orienteering socks went fine - no blisters. Good purchase.

ahr:168 max:182 spiked:7/14c slept:7.5 shoes: VJ Irock (2012)
O-Tuesday in Sapieginė, B course, 4.1km, started at the end of the rain shower. 1st - direct climbing test - success. 4th - didn't expect CP to be so low, ran too high on the slope, expected 30'' error, from the splits see that it was 1'. 5th - there were two equal route choices, took right one, over the top of the hill, as it looked safer. Just after leaving 5th CP spend some 15'' for coughing fit. 6th CP - messed for 30'' in CP area. 7th - lack of map reading - should have followed the hill on the left, messed around a bit until relocated - 1'15''. Missed the path to the right near 8th CP, but somehow felt that should already turn right - so just small 10'' mistake. 9th - went too low on the slope in CP area - 15''. To 10th somehow couldn't get right direction from the beginning - 15''. To 12th there were again two route choices, took right - a longer one, but around big hill (I guess was doubting about my possibilities at this stage to climb another 40m high hill), just 20'' mistake because of lack of map reading in the first part. 4' of mistakes in total, was lucky that Marius C. was also making mistakes, so that was still enough for a win. It wasn't difficult to run today (ran to all hills), but it wasn't easy orienteering, as all the course was looped in such small map.
Tested my new orienteering socks (Noname) - 1st time ever ran with proper ones. Perfect fit - no blisters on heels, toes or feet, maybe it was positively affected by wet shoes.

ahr:154 max:193 spiked:14/17c slept:9.5 shoes: VJ Irock (2012)
Alytus champs, men course, 6.8km. At the warm-up felt that there is not much power in legs, but somehow started. To the 3rd CP chosen a run-around route and there warm sunny weather in the meadows killed me - there was no speed. Near CP area didn't feel the distance, so didn't go through the green at the right time - 1' mistake. 5th - poor route and direction keeping - some 1'30'' mistake. 13th - once again couldn't get right direction as there was already no power to move, got caught on parallel features, but quickly relocated - some 2'30'' mistake. Slowly finished. That rain shower few hours later could have happened during the race - as even drank a lot of water before the race, it didn't help.

O-Tuesday in Mickūnai, B course, 5.65km. No mistakes, just could have straighter directions few times. To 5th CP tried run-around route, it wasn't faster, but maybe wasn't much slower either.

Vilnius 2013, H21S, 2nd day, long, 8.6km, Rūdninkų poligonas. As for this tricky map - not a bad race - 1'30'' mistake on 1st CP (everything went too fast for me, so near 3rd CP even checked map scale), 4th - 3'20'' (didn't understand that need to check that dune after CP on the map for relocation), 12th - 1'30'' (was not sure if already was not ahead of the CP, when was nearby, so took some time for relocation). 6'20'' in total.

O-Tuesday in Riešė, B course, 4.6km. Never ran here, so made a very good race as for maiden attempt - no real mistakes, just some 20'' hesitation near 9th CP and took around route to 9th CP, which was not worth it - should have taken a direct route over the top of the hill. In overall - a small rehab after weekend's disaster (I hope I won't repeat it on Saturday in Rūdninkai).

Kaunas relay, men 21, Ąžuolas second team, 3rd leg, 6.4km, 17CP. The start was promissing - 1st 4 CPs took without mistakes, just in the middle of the run to 4th CP felt that somehow power is fading (maybe it was a little bit too hot for me). In the middle of the run to 5th CP the head was a little burning I guess, because didn't notice the first spring on the map, which should have passed before taking second spring for attacking the CP - so got caught in parallel situation, like many more - 5'30'' mistake. After 6th CP felt that somehow there is no power to run, but somehow moved forward. From 9th saw that next one is tricky, slowly ran to the right direction, but couldn't bind the map and the area. Relocated from big marshes between 10th and 11th CP - some 3' mistake. From 11th CP had serious issues with map reading - could bind the map and what was seeing. Somehow got to the CP, but it cost another 2'. From 14th CP run forward, but didn't see the cutting, got caught on parallel situation again - 4' mistake for messing around. 14'30'' of mistakes in total - it was not my day...

ahr:158 max:188 slept:7.0 shoes: Asics GT-2170
2 loops in VP. 1st half of 1st loop took a decent pace of 4'45''/km, later just lost the momentum; 1st 4.84km loop completed in 24:18. Somehow succeeded to catch 1st tick this season (noticed in the shower), couldn't expect to catch it while running in VP.
