3. Nationaler, Switzerland - Read to much map to the first control and lost some time here, but took a good route choice to the 2nd control, and the 3rd control. At the 5th control I was still in the game for a good position, but to the 6th I took the wrong route choice and missed the control, and to the 7th I took a really bad route choice, and lost more time. After this two controls I had lost quite much time, but I still tried to continue to fight. My legs were tired and my head aswell, and I was not able to run fast enough, so starting from the 7th control I lost time constantly and had to fight hard just to keep running. Did some smaller mistakes at some controls, but most of the time I lost on my speed. Finished in 17th position, beaten with more than 13minuts of Niggli.

Jogging before the afternoon race

2. Nationaler, Kleinandelfingen, Switzerland. Ran good after some minor hesitations at the two first controls. Made one really bad route choice which costed me around 15 sec. 4th best time, 46sec behind Jansson, 20sec behind Niggli, and 2 sec behind Friederich. Satiesfied with my performance, but still something to work on.

2.Nationaler Jagdstart, Andelfingen, Switzerland - Chasing start after the results of the first sprint in Kleinandelfingen. So I started out 46 sec, 20 sec and 2 sec after Jansson, Niggli and Friederich, and had a bunch of good runners starting behind. Tried to focus on myself and what I had to do, and succeeded quite well. Made some minor route choice mistakes and misunderstood a stair which I thought was forbidden, and out of the heavily forced part of the course I was 3rd with Friederich just some small meters behind me. The end of the course was technically quite easy, so I started my sprint already at the 18th control, to try to make sure that she would never catch up with me. I succeeded and increased the small lead with some more meters, and could cross the finisch line as 3rd best. Nice! It was also nice to see that the two women in front had not increased their lead with very much, meaning that I was closer to them in the final than in the qualification.

Sprint-intervals in Winterthur.

Jogging sprint "model event", first half I was only aloud to read the map some meter in to and out of the controls.

Ran a little bit faster the second half and ran it like a normal sprint.

Sprint in Frauenfeld Switzerland.

Knock out sprint in Irchel Park in Zürich. First a qualification heat, then a final heat where all winners was in one heat, all the second places in the second heat etc. I won my qualification heat, and was in the A-final. Here I had problems with slipery shoes, and was last only some few seconds behind, eventhough I felt I was in the match as long as it was flat.

One-man-relay with forking (not totally fair). Ran good in the beginning and was in contact with niggli, hausken, janson and kauppi the first half of the race. Made a route choice mistake there and lost the sight of them. Continued to run good, but made one mistake and to the second last i tried another route xhoice to close the gap to two runners infront of me. Stupied, lost a lit of time and almost got caught from behind. 7th to cross the finnish line and 6th totally when kauppi was dsq. Fun to see that I could follow the speed of the worlds best quite good today

WOC relevant training in the neighbour terrain to long qualification. A little bit different terrain compated to berner mittelland terrain, but the concept was the same.

Walked a part of a technical training above Neuchatel.

1. National competition in Switzerland. Ran quite good, but make two routechoice mistakes costing me more than 2min. Still have to work on the technical parts, I loose almost nothing on the streets, but quite much in and out of the controls. 9th position beaten with 5min 30sec by niggli
