Orienteering race 1:12:04 [3] *** 10.49 km (6:52 / km)
spiked:22/26c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Felt ok, could run quite fast, especially in the second part of the race.
Couple garbage mistakes, worth ~3 mins.
In this race my VJ Integrators finished wearing out to complete rubbish. Funny - second pair of orienteering shoes in a row were finished off in the same strange way: tread of one shoe fell away, just like in Jukola relay 2 years ago.
700 kms of service.

MTB Orienteering race 34:54 [4] **** 7.82 km (4:28 / km)
spiked:18/21c shoes: MTB bike Kelly's Magic '07
Very good and interesting sprint course. Lot of controls and action.
Performed ok, just 3 small mistakes worth 2 mins.
The course was 5.55 kms, I actually rode 7.82 kms
Avg 14.72 km/h, max 34.36 km/h

Orienteering race 1:16:56 [3] ***** 5.8 km (13:16 / km)
spiked:12/16c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
After not quite rest in physical terms weekend in Budapest with lot of walking and climbing, back running again.
Felt surprisingly fresh but extremely hilly course and 1:15000 scale did not allow to run too much. Last week I would have been dead by the middle of such course, but today wasn't tired even after finish. Probably should have attacked these hills with more inspiration.
Made some errors worth 5-6 mins.

Orienteering race 1:18:52 [3] *** 8.72 km (9:03 / km)
spiked:21/27c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Started with inspiration, but all that vanished going to 5th CP. From there could not keep straight line, didn't observe terrain including the clearest objects like big pathways, and had to search hard for almost every CP till the middle of the course. 10 mins wasted.
After every error felt more and more tired, pain of my wooden legs was more and more annoying after every step, switched to walking without even thinking about running.
Crap race, crap fitness.
Definitely now I will take couple days off without any activity.

MTB Orienteering race 1:04:22 [4] *** 17.55 km (3:40 / km)
spiked:16/17c shoes: MTB bike Kelly's Magic '07
Feeling pretty well. Almost perfect race, just 1 error worth 1 min - going to 10th CP lost virtually invisible pathway leading to the control, had to dig my way direct through the forest.
At long long last won a race in losers class, first time ever in MTBO.
The course was 11.84 kms, I actually rode 17.55 kms
Avg 16.82 km/h, max 38.34 km/h

Orienteering race 52:46 [4] **** 5.6 km (9:25 / km)
spiked:18/19c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Some rehabilitation after dropping to bottom and loosing even to Benskis 3 days ago.
Course was very hilly and still had to walk quite a lot, but felt much better than in any race last week.
Technical execution also pretty good, wasted just ~2 mins: splits show that route choice to 4th CP was incorrect, and lost some time hesitating near 14th CP.
Have beaten even unbeatable mighty Zuikis the Great :))).

Orienteering race 1:05:47 [3] *** 7.18 km (9:10 / km)
spiked:19/26c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Did not understand and could not read the map at all. Could not find many controls being in CP region, for some of them even 2 tries were not enough. Error count should be something like 15 minutes. Cruel.

Orienteering race 1:19:41 [2] *** 7.69 km (10:22 / km)
spiked:22/27c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
5 mins of mistakes towards the end.
Every day feeling worse and worse. Today could not run even on the flat - legs muscle and even bones were hurting right from the start. Probably should rest for couple days but for some reason don't want to do that. Let's hope things will get better by themselves.

MTB Orienteering race 1:00:01 [3] **** 15.63 km (3:50 / km)
spiked:8/15c shoes: MTB bike Kelly's Magic '07
Third time trying MTBO on this map, and for the third time complete disaster. Error after error, couldn't find anything here with so many unmarked pathways. This place is not for me.
The course was 10.57 kms, I actually rode 15.63 kms
Avg 16.74 km/h, max 33.12 km/h

Orienteering race 1:13:17 [3] **** 7.4 km (9:54 / km)
spiked:25/25c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
After lot of activities during last week, today even before the start felt like beaten wooden man - my body can't cope with such increased load after winter rest.
Started with Valdas, but as he was running crazy fast, from 2nd CP continued struggling my own slow pace, often just walking.
Physically the worst race of the season no doubt, but at least didn't make any mistake.

Orienteering race 50:21 [4] *** 6.7 km (7:31 / km)
spiked:20/21c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Run as fast as I could for this time of the season, but everybody around was much faster than me.
Good thing was that didn't sink the team with errors, made just one worth ~2 mins on control right before spectators one.
Team result is much better than expected, thanks to other 2 legs.

Orienteering race 1:15:37 [3] *** 9.83 km (7:42 / km)
spiked:25/27c shoes: VJ Integrator '08
Was very tired after yesterdays efforts on bike and later on in the pub so was struggling with the pace from start to finish. But at least avoided major errors, made just 2 of them: 1 min to 4th and 2,5 mins to 10th CP.

MTB Orienteering race 1:29:01 [4] *** 21.12 km (4:13 / km)
spiked:11/12c shoes: MTB bike Kelly's Magic '07
1 big 3 mins error on last control.
Very strange course, with majority of controls standing in the middle of nowhere, and could be reached by one of two options:
a) try your legs pushing pedals for hundreds meters on digged sandy clearings
b) avoid that sand and go direct through the forest (probably better option).
2 controls were even in wet swamps.
Not fun at all.
The course was 14.73 kms, I actually rode 21.12 kms
Avg 14.75 km/h, max 30.87 km/h

At last took my dusty bicycle, changed old rear slick tyre to new one Schwalbe Racing Ralph Evolution and gone for a ride.
