BEOGRAD-OPEN

Na terenima Deliblatske peščare u blizini mesta Šušara održano je dvodnevno orijentiring takmičenje u organizaciji mojih dobrih prijatelja iz AOK Košutnjak. Sam izbor terena je bio jako zanimljiv.
Prvog dana staza je bila 5600 m, a moje vreme 38:46 minuta što me je činilo poprilično nezadovoljnim. Dosta sam grešio, u ključnim momentima trke sam bio poprlično dekoncentrisan i to je rezultiralo zaostatkom od nekoh 6 - 7 minuta za vodećim. vremenski uslovi za trčanje su bili poprilično brutalni, sneg i temperatura oko nule, ali to nije opravdanje za moju lošu trku. Rezultati su ovde.




Ako mi neko bude rekao da je Vojvodina ravna, onda ga definitivno treba odvesti na teren Zagajičkih brda. Teren je bio zaleđen i veoma klizav, tako da sam na putu do 1. KT pao na jednoj nizbrdici i nakon toga sam dosta opreznije trčao. Staza je bila laka za orijentaciju, ali je zahtevala dobru fizičku kondiciju. Na kraju 2. mesto tog dana. Rezultati drugog dana su ovde. U ukupnom plasmanu sam takođe zauzeo  2. mesto. Ukupni rezultati

Jedan takmičar iz kategorije M20 se prikačio za mene od 3., pa sve do 10. KT. Mislim da je potrebno da svi zajedno pozabavimo i rešimo problem "šlepovanja" u orijentiringu, ako mislimo da od juniora pravimo ozbiljnije seniorske takmičare.

Organizator je uspeo da održi takmičenje na visokom nivou uprkos teškim vremenskim uslovima i još jednom čestitke.

Beograd-open prologue

Today I ran Beograd open prologue, as a warm up for 2 days orienteering competition Beograd Open this weekend. 
I made route choice mistakes on 1st, 4th, 5th control point , I ran over 22nd and made a mistake on 12th control point. And that is between 3 and 5 minutes more. My time was 23:23 minutes, and now I so tired that I can't keep my eyes open and I'm going straight to bed.

More info about this competition on this link 

I hope that I'll be more focused tomorrow and on Sunday.

Spring Juniper Open 2010

Last weekend I was in Hungary on this competition. This was my first time running on Juniper Open (Boroka Cup). I started in M21 A class (there was no E class). This terrain is very interesting and demanding for orienteering, map is orange with green "stains".


First day we have course 8700m with 23 control points, my time was 85:41 minutes. To be honest, I am not in so good condition, because I had only 2 trainings since 1st January and iI couldn't run better. But I'm waiting for Autumn Juniper in November this year.
Here is a map with my route choice. After we finished the race, we went to nearby spa to relax, but this didn't help me and on Sunday I was so tired and I didn't finished the race. Sunday race lenght was 13200m with 23 controls. My friend Dejan told me that this is very tricky terrain, but at the end it was pure orienteering pleasure and I couldn't go downstairs next day. But it was worth running every minute on that terrain.

Now I will concentrate for my races next weekend, Serbian League will start "rolling", middle and long on terrain similar to Juniper.
