As expected the forests became much thicker than just some months ago, which will influence all distances. We started our training camp with a control picking exercise consisting of 50 controls. The following days consited of a WOC simulation with one middle distance training on the 2nd day, followed by 1 long distance, or two sprint trainings. The last day was devoted to the relay, where we completed 3 loops of about 1,5 kilometers together with the hungarian national team.
For my part the training camp was another step towards my top shape, as my running improved every day, with an extremly good feeling on the last day. My main focus was of course on the 2 sprint trainings which started both times really well. I securely punched the first short control, made the right route choice to the longer second control... On the first sprint, a parallel mistake costed too much time to run a good time, and at the second sprint I missed the "easiest" control with almost 1 minute... Analyising the control area after the race made Wolfis and my mistake clear, as we both entered the control area at the right place, not seeing the control flag, which was about 20 meters too much to the left. As all the others dealt with this situation without losing time, we should work on our flexibility in such situations.
I will learn of my mistakes , and after some more sprint trainings here in Austria I'm feeling very confident to show a good performance in Hungary!
