LOM (Swiss Champs in Long Distance) - had a good start where I was offensive and calm. Except of hitting my lower leg in a stone down to the 2nd control I ran good the three first controls. To the 4th I suddenly realized that I was surrounded by horses, I was inside their fence, so a bit stressed I hurried out of the area and into the forest (having 10 horses running after me was not something I wanted, and luckily that didn't happen). The problem was that now I had no idea where I entered the forest and I went of course left when I should have gone right. 1min lost. Also to the two next controls I was a bit hesitating and loosing some time. But two the 7th i made a hugh mistake that I didn't see come at all. I ran fare around and thought I made it easy for my self, instead I found my self thinking I was in the right area and actually I was not. Loosing 6:22min, 1min only on the route choiche, was a lot, and I was catched by Sabine Hauswirtsh. From there on I was able to restart mentally, and made a really good race from there on. Only a couple of controls in the end I made some minor mistakes. Anyway the mistake did cost me a good position and I was 9th, 8 min behind.

5 times 400 meteres on Tracks with Philipp, ran on around 1:20min

NLZ training, slope controls, good training, but still having problems in these continental terrains two run without hesitations.

6 times 1000m (not on the tracks, but along a road) with 90 sec breaks. Opned on 3:30min on the two first intervals but got stiff in my lower leg probably due to that I don't run much intevals on asfalt, and the last 4 was around 3:40-3:45min.

Running with Andreas in Könizberg
