Back home. Touristic evening run through La Combe Grède, climbing up to the Chasseral. Amazing place, great weather, wonderful late afternoon atmosphere.
...and this morning I was still in Munich, unbelievable.

Traveling with the Swiss Team from the Czech training camp home. Stopped by in Munich to sleep... took advantage of the hotel's facilities in the early morning to go for a swim... well, was more like a dip in this tiny pool. Very enjoyable.

Last training in the training camp in Czech Republic. We races a WRE competition. Middle distance. I think I lost about 2.5 minutes to the Czech winner.
Had a quite good technical race. Biggest point to improve would be to be more aggressive. I lost most of my time physically, though. Mmh, I am not used to such a situation, especially in such a steep terrain.

Orienteering 58:00 10.5 km (5:31 / km) +250m 4:56 / km
Relay training with the Swiss team. First a mass start on a regular short distance course, than a pursuit start on a sprint course. It was fun to feel human again and to run at the limit. But anyhow I was quite slow. Still not recovered from the cold I had.

Planed to go for an hour jog... but I was quite lame.

Orienteering 1:20:00
shoes: VJ Intergrator 5
Training in Zarovy vrch... the maps look green, kind of plain... but the terrain is actually awesome. Wild forest, mostly very well runnable.
The exercise was a partner training, where each one of the pair would have to run a different route whenever possible. I ran with Matthias Merz. We found out that it is often good to search a quite direct route, because the runability is so good, even when it gets green.
This was my first real training in this training week, and I am looking forward to do some more until the WOC. Running in this terrain is just really enjoyable.

Middle distance training again in the same forest than in the morning. But this time the course went more into the green and rocky parts. It didn't feel at all like we where running in the same forest. It became really technical, difficult to keep your direction in the always changing pine forest and required fine orienteering skills in the rock features.
I tried to run at a higher pace, but fast I had to realize that my batteries are still empty from my cold.

My cold forbids me to go training. Went for a walk in a forest which is supposed to be relevant for next years WOC middle distance. It is going to be nice... and challenging! Diffuse terrain.

Training in V Jerabech. Neighboring terrain to the long distance WOC next year... ferry tail like forest.
Traveled about 8 hours to this training from the World Cup in Switzerland to the Czech Republic.
Unfortunately my health is not so good. Stumbled through the forest on a mini course.
