Running warm up/down 10:00 [3] 1.7 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Orienteering race 41:59 [5] ***** 6.5 km (6:28 / km)
spiked:19/20c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Started with some space (>1') both in front and behind of me. Run my own race without any distraction, didn't see anybody from my class for the whole race. Turned out to be very good day. Run almost perfect race, made just one 30 seconds error on 5th CP.
Took 10th place in the stage and climbed another 7 places to 17th overall.
My goals for this year's TAKAS was to get into top-10 in any stage and finish in top-20 overall. Didn't believe that I still had any chance reaching any of these after 3 not too good days, but hit it when least expected that. Great!

Running warm up/down 10:00 [3] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Asics Trabuco
Orienteering race 17:12 [5] *** 2.8 km (6:09 / km)
spiked:17/19c shoes: Asics Trabuco
For the third day in a row went too fast from the start and again paid the price - found myself in the wrong side of the building, had to run around it, 35'' wasted. Heavy legs up the Urbo hill. But later on felt very good, my splits in the middle of the race are very impressive. Only one more mistake to 9th CP - 15''.
The goal was top-10, missed that by couple places because of lack of concentration from the start...
Climbed another 4 places in overall order.

Running warm up/down 25:00 [3] 4.4 km (5:41 / km)
shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Orienteering race 56:32 [4] **** 7.4 km (7:38 / km)
spiked:16/20c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Started the same way as yesterday, looked like the race is going to be another disaster. After 4 CPs already had 4 mins of errors in 3 CPs. Moreover, felt little tired and run slower.
Fortunately later on made just 2 small garbage mistakes, worth less than 1', and also increased the pace towards the end as felt better than starting.
Climbed 11 places in overall order as a result.

Running warm up/down 9:00 [3] 1.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Orienteering race 39:12 [4] **** 5.5 km (7:08 / km)
spiked:11/16c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Started well too fast, and flied into micro relief without any idea where I was. 3 mins lost on 1st CP, then another 1' to 4th, and there was caught by Liuba who started 4 mins behind.
3 more errors on 5th, 7th and 13th CP, 8 minutes in total - just could not read all these micro objects.
At least everything is still ok with physical shape and some splits are satisfying.
1st day was bad, but the good thing is that now I have a lot of room to climb up the order. :)

Orienteering race 1:16:33 [3] **** 6.52 km (11:44 / km)
spiked:17/24c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Awful weather. Decided to run only because Takas is just few days away and didn't want to come there after 1 week rest.
Some garbage mistakes, 2 bigger, but the biggest misfortune again caused by organizers. Every time starting in OS Antradieniai I already smell that at least one CP won't be in the forest. Today searched for such CP being absolutely sure that I was in the right place but you may never know if totally washed-out wet rag is not put somewhere in the bush and you won't be disqualified for not finding it.

Orienteering race 1:01:38 [4] *** 9.07 km (6:48 / km)
spiked:18/24c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
No any pain and at last fitness level satisfies me, could run fast all course. It took very long to get it back this year.
But again - another pile of errors. This time 8 minutes on 6 controls.

MTB Orienteering race 1:09:46 [3] **** 18.46 km (3:47 / km)
spiked:15/21c shoes: MTB bike Kelly's Magic '07
Pile of errors, poor race. The worst this season.
18.46 km, +76% distance, 1:03:42, 8,7% time not riding.
Avg 17.39 km/h, max 37.04 km/h

Orienteering race 59:46 [3] **** 6.85 km (8:44 / km)
spiked:20/26c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Errors to six controls, worth 5 minutes.
Also very tired after Sunday's 2 hours+ in the woods and hardly could run, was moving very very slowly. Probably the same problem to everybody as despite this poor performance surprisingly achieved the best result in OS Antradieniai this season.

Running warm up/down 13:00 [2] 1.9 km (6:51 / km)
(injured) shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Orienteering race 2:08:16 [3] ***** 9.79 km (13:06 / km)
spiked:12/23c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Total disaster: 8 mins looking for 1st CP, another 4' for 2nd, and never really settled into the race. Don't want even to count total mushrooms time, should be ~40 minutes. Probably my worst ever race in Lithuania.
Also found out that orienteering sport is dangerous for life after all: witnessed how big thick old pine ended its life falling down 30 meters from me. OMG with what power it smashed to the ground. Luckily didn't have to try out my sprinting abilities and could observe that safely, as it fell in parallel to my running direction.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] * 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
(injured) shoes: Asics Trabuco
But somehow in the race itself didn't feel any pain at all.
Can't understand what's going on.
Orienteering race 18:07 [5] *** 3.1 km (5:51 / km)
spiked:16/21c shoes: Asics Trabuco
Couple small mistakes, 1 min in total. The biggest problem - 3 times was disturbed by other classes controls and checked them just in case knowing almost for certain that they can't be mine. Amazing how many places I lost because of that.

Orienteering race 1:21:11 [3] **** 7.0 km (11:36 / km)
spiked:14/22c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Some brandy after work (colleague birthday) didn't help to run, breathe or understand anything in this 1:15000 map. First 2 mistakes already before the start: draw 5th CP not in right place, and the last one didn't draw at all...
