National Kandersteg O-Event / 4.Biofarm Cup

03.09.2006

A challenging 2000mt, 2 day race on the mountains of Oeschinen and Sunnbüel in Kandersteg, Switzerland.  On the first day we took the cable car to the race area from 1200mt. I didn’t have enough time to warm up before the race started. The terrain was very rough with sharp rocks boulders and difficult to run on. I sprained my ankle during the race and had to bandage it on the second day. I lost time on many of the targets because the maps were too detailed and I had to use a magnifying glass to be able to read it. I got accustomed to the rocky terrain by the second day but this is something that requires a lot of advanced preparation.

Sunnbüel Day 2

 

Championnats de France

27.08.2006

A 5 day national race in Lorraine region of Nancy, France.  The forest is flat and there are lots of fields, trails and lakes. I missed the bike race during the day and the oritenteering race at night on the first day. On the other days I was 9th in the middle distance and on the speed course I was not able to concentrate on the map for the first target and got discouraging results: I was 106th. I was 12th on the long course but I was tired from the previous day. There were 30 targets along a 20km course and I was 43rd in this race. I want to thank the Csm Rillieux La Pape Club for providing transportation and a place to stay during the race.

5 - Tage Berglauf Cup

18.08.2006

5 day hill race in Switzerland’s Zurich Canton. There were races on the different hills of Zurich with distances ranging from 4-5km and the climb ranging from 800-1300mt. I was not able to participate in the first day of the race because I found out too late about the race.  On the first day I started out fast and my pulse reached 195 on the 3rd km where there was a constant upward incline and I had to slow down. On the other days I was able to run more efficiently with an average heart rate of 185 and a max of 193.  There were 375 participants and after finishing four days of the race I was 42nd.

Aargauer 3 Tage OL

13.08.2006

3 day Orienteering race in Kölliken, Switzerland in the Aargau Canton. The weather conditions were poor during the race: it was cold with constant rain showers. After the first and second day I was 1st overall. On the third day I was two minutes ahead of the person in second place.  I got my best results during this race but I got nervous and I made a mistake towards the end of the race and finished 5th after the third day. I was 2nd overall after three days.
