Today the national orienteering season in Italy started with a night race with mass start. I was looking forward to this race, because it was the fist time this year to compete in Italy for me and also because of the formula of the race. I started perfect. No problems on the easy controls towards the centre of the butterfly and also a good first loop, but already on my way out form the first control of the second loop, my problems started.

Returned from a nice short camp in Czech republic I can just give a positive summary. Special thanks to the team from Slavia Hradec Kralove for giving us the possibility to join their trainings. Was good fun! Despite the poor weather conditions, i think i learned some good lesions:

From the beginning of this year i wanted to use the eastern weekend for an trainings camp in some relevant terrain for the WOC. Thanks to Robert Zdráhal i succeded in organizing some days in Suchy, som 40 km from Prostejov. Together with Thea Lillehov I started early this morning from vienna, but when we arrived here there was a bad surprise waiting for us, almost 10 cm of snow in the forest and it was still snowing. Nevertheless we are ready for our first training with the hope for better conditions in the next days. Will keep you informed.
