Running for the third Azuolas team in "Clubs Cup". I didn't plan to take this run, but as some members of the team disappeared, I took this challenge (usually I need two days of rest to partly recover). Started in mass start, all teams disappeared until 1 CP, so I was left alone in the forest. Huge mistakes (about 6-7') on first two CP showed me, that I need to orienteer very carefully. So then I made competition to training and trained myself to go to CPs by azimuth.

Lithuania sprint championships in Druskininkai, qualification race. Got confused in the start procedure, because there was only one minute for getting course legents and starting. Couldn't believe that I run sprint until first CP. Made a huge mistake on 4th CP in the park - 2'30''. Overall no other mistakes and I was too slow.

Lithuania sprint championships in Druskininkai, B final. Very satisfied with the race, made good route choices, no mistakes at all. Just was a little bit tired after morning race, so lost 6' to the winner - as always I was too slow.

O-Thursday before Lithuania sprint championships. Got very confused on the course because of wrong CP numbers... Only in the end noticed, that was running second course, not the first one (fault of organisers). Completely failed training.

O-Tuesday before Lithuania sprint championships. Felt too good in the course that could be expected after no run in two weeks. One huge mistake on 6th CP, 4' total. Satisfied with performance, even being in the end of elite runners list.
