Started with good effort, legs felt good, after nice warm-up, orienteering was easy. On my way to 9 had a small brain fart, small warning of things to come, stopped way short, than realized the situation - 30 sec, but next small compass work error on 10 costed me 2 min. not the best root to 13 ~ 1 min, and just missed high on 15, control was well hidden - another 1 min. the end of the course was easy, but physical. 33-rd out of 81, 17.5 min behind local winner.

I was quite surprised by the difficulty of terrain in the North-West corner, and the cost of this surprise was 4 min in rout mistake + 2 min parallel situation mistake on my way to 4 (long leg), but that helped later on the course to stay away from green and rocky forest at all cost, and splits show it. Still managed to miss 14, just misunderstood the control description - (15x2 cliff) - I was looking fro a 15m high pylon, in reality it was v shaped 1.5 m ground cliff, I went right by it on a high side, did not see the prism in 2-nd green. This was a disaster area: people walking in all directions asking for help. I have not seen it that bad in a long time. the rest of the course I was clean, pushing hard, even legs got really tired in first third of the course over very uneven ground. Sprits show that my speed was good today, good for top 6 finish, but I know that strong guys ran it conservatively today.Almost no one was clean today.

The only real disappointment came from loosing my polar gps sensor ~ 600 m before finish. Went home, downloaded the tracks into comp., knew exactly were I lost the signal from it, came back and still could not find it.
Luckily the price of this gizmo had gone down from $180, when I bought it to $120. Checked with lost and found too, no signs of it.

it was drizzling at the time of warm-up, but I got warm fast, did some technical warm-up with the map from qualifier. felt great, legs are 100%.

spiked:15/17c shoes: Adidas Adizero Adios 2
old town sprint, lots of narrow streets, not too difficult, but visibility is short (narrow and winding), and speed is high. I do not think I picked the best speed for the race, it was scary at times when approaching intersections with town traffic in process, not so great idea by organizers. had to have your ears open all the time. cars moved very slow though. Started clean, speed borderline fast, it was difficult to judge speed since most of orienteers around are much older, peaking at 65. Several times almost ran into someone, squealing like a girl, barely avoiding collision (same happened a day before in quals). on my way to 5, I was reading leg to 6 and ran right by my control, another 30 or so meters, stopped, real confused for 5-10 seconds, realized what just happened, went back - splits show 40 sec lost, then clean and fast again,may be not the best rout 11, max 10 sec., a little slow on my way to 12, picked up speed again, and final approach to 15 saw a wooden fence in my way in the forest, decided to run around, not risking disqualification, that was another 20 sec. even now, with good light and not running, it is not that easy to figure that out if that mapped crossable or not the way it was drafted. Still map was great, course was fun, I enjoyed it all the way,despite some confusion and scary moments.
Finished 57-th 4:40 behind the best time, results are super dense, as expected, more then a minute of lost time is huge for the modern competitive sprint.

trail run warm up/down (some road) 19:00 [3] 4.0 km (4:45 / km) +60m 4:25 / km
slept:6.0 shoes: Inov-8 Talon 212
nice long warm-up to get all system going, would be nice to have a map in the hands too. before my run watched most of our friends at the finish shoot, talked to many Moscow orienteers / coaches, including Alex Azarov, Irina Desinova and Lyudmila Chizhikova. Lots of best wishes to T/D. During warm-up saw Omel, Palagon, everyone is asking about Gnatiyuk not being there...

started conservative, reports were about lots of controls (naturally) and fun, not easy. Map looked very busy with lots of small details showing (1:4000). course looped in the fairly small playground area in the beginning, had to pay attention to direction end exits from controls, gaps in walls and small buildings total: maybe 15 sec for slowing down to comprehend the map, it was threatening to rain but did nor materialize till after the race, but reading the map on high speed was a challenge, now we enter downtown and nice German urban area with canal, small bridges fairly large buildings, lots of choices left or right, doing mighty fine so far. then another small loop in a little park area, and I collected 3 controls in opposite order, luckily realized it before exiting the area, so go and collect them in right order (I figure no more then 55 seconds lost on that), but now speed is no longer conservative - full out effort.
clean, but shaky rest of the course - speed is close to max, finished 2 min behind the good times, but well within qualifying. Legs felt great throughout the race and after, since I was speeding for less then 1 km. Tomorrow will be very interesting.

часть на русском, для родителей :)
немного задержали нас в аэропорту Кеннеди, но долетели нормально, дороги, конечно классные, но многие ремонтируются, правда добрались в горы без проблем и быстро. Ел настоящую клубнику (неправильной формы), вкусно. Продукты довольно дешевые, уже попробовал знаменитые немецкие сосиски, от сервелатов глаза разбегаются. Все соревнования в маленьких городках в горах Харц, уютные очень чистые, не супер богатые, много добротных ферм вокруг.
