Orienteering race (Raid the Hammer) 3:44:28 [5] *** 30.0 km (7:29 / km)
My comment for the Raid Facebook page:
"My team “Foreigners” won this year; it is my second victory in Male category and first time overall. It was the hardest race for me in the last 4 years. This race was challenging in both physical and psychological aspects. Physically, it was very exhausting 30k course on a rocky and hilly area, where after the rain everything was wet, slippery and muddy. In psychological aspect, it was hard to push for 3 hours and not to give up by knowing that the leader is only 5 min in front. At that moment, when I thought that 1 place is gone, we caught the leader and were strong enough to build up almost 4 min lead in the end. I am not sure if I should mention about my broken compass and pants :) Thx to Hans and Mike, it was a great challenge."
