WOC - Tour Denmark
06.08.2006
World Orienteering Championship, I
participated in the 6 day extended race. Each day had its
difficulties. I ran a distance of 62km overall with daily averages
of 9-12km courses. The terrain and the organization was perfect. I
was in the first 11 after each day of the race and at the end of the
6 days I placed 9th overall. The excitement of the World
Champion was in the air and there were there were 20 thousand people
total watching and participating in the race.

Grand Prix Silesia
25.07.2006
5 day race around the Silva camp in the
Czech Republic. The course in the forest is 4km away from the camp.
The race was tiring and my foot was sprained and I was exhausted
from training so I finished the race without straining myself too
much. I was running an average of 8-12km races. After each day of
racing, we’d go dancing in the evening. After finishing the race and
camp, I stayed 5 more days in Prague. Thank you Marketa and Mreke
for your hospitality.

Silva O-Camp
18.07.2006
Czech Republic, 14 day Orienteering camp. We
were a 15 person group with people from IOG in Turkey and Alev
Schools. There were 300 participants from other countries in Europe.
I had map practice two times a day and I ran morning and evening
with Slovak runner Marian Davidik. We swam in the natural ponds in
the cliffs. The atmosphere of the camp was pleasant and the forest
was close by. There were lots of activities to do at the camp aside
from Orienteering. My team lead most of the races during the camp.
I want to thank my French friend who took me to the camp with his
car from Poland.

Grand Prix Polonia / Euro-O
09.07.2006
This was the first race of my tour in a
small quaint town called Londek-Zdroj. It was a 5 day race and the
first day was on a terrain where I couldn’t see the ground from the
thick vegetation. I fell countless number of times and finally hit
my collar bone on a boulder. I ran with a swollen ankle in the
remaining days. On the second day of the race at the 10th
target, I didn’t have luck on my side and was attacked by a swarm of
bees which stung my my arms, legs and all over my body. I ran as
fast as I could to the 11th target but I was not able to
resume concentrating on the map. The course was very rocky, uneven
and long. After 5 days I was 12th.
