Event: Portugal O'Meeting (POM)
 

Intermediate distance event. Shorter than a middle, but longer than a sprint.
Started OK, but missed # 9 and made a bunch of small mistakes toward the end. Rain finally caught up with us.

Hiking around a local market and in the hills in back of our rental house.

Model day for the weekend. Lots of open areas and rocks. Looks like much of it has been burned by fires. Rained all morning, but sun came out just in time.

Spent a very nice day walking around Porto. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and filled with old buildings and narrow alleys. Later this year it will host one of the Sprints on the World Tour.

A little practice on day 2 map. Starting to understand the rock areas better. Maybe it will help this weekend.

Hiking around Mantanca and the surrounding hills. Sadly many young people have left this part of the country for jobs in the cities and outside the country.

Long distance race. Lots of grey screen and rock detail. Couldn't find our third control and lost 15 minutes. Otherwise OK.
