O-weekend in Burgenland
Last weekend (9+10 Sept) the austrian o-scene met in Rauchwart (Burgenland) for 2 competitions - namly the Bundesländerstaffel on Saturday an the Austrian Long Championships (8.RLL) on Sunday. I know that I'm a little bit late with this post, but because of my stay in Innsbruck I had no time to write it sooner.
Bundesländerstaffel:
First a little instruction about what this relay is exactly. We do not start for our club, but instead for our region, together with other clubs in Salzburg. On relay team consists of 5 members (at least 2 female). Every leg is for different categorys so that there run youngsters, seniors and elites. The best 3 teams of each region count for the final results. Got it?
We (Salzburg) won this relay last year and also had the fastes team, but this year we had a big handicap. 6 elite runners (the best we have) were missing because of work, illness and injuries.
So I had to make the anchor man (the leg for M Elite) of team Salzburg 4.
My team colleagues were Leo, Alexandra, Margit and Roland. When Roland handed over to me our team was the 3rd team of Salzburg (I don't know the overall position). The 5,6km course was not really challenging, it was more running than orienteering. I did quit well (just one mistake to control 7) and managed to pass some teams. At the finish our team was ranked 20th (number 3 of Salzburg - so we counted for the overall result).
As predicted our region had no chance this year. We just made it to rank 5, our fastest team was on place number 4.

8. Ranglistenlauf
The following day it was time for the 8. RLL this year which was also the Austrian Long Distance Championships for the elite classes. After yesterdays run I had a quite positiv feeling and I felt like I could run (not just jogging) the whole distance (9,5km with 300m climbing). But it did not work - both - physical and technical.
Control 1 was ok, but to C 2 I was not sure for the first time and lost some time. But it came even worse. In the detailed area around C3 I lost some 2-3 minutes (oh, I hate this kind of terrain). The next one was ok and to C5 - Ladies and Gentleman, I proudly present - BEST TIME. On my way to C7 I felt my legs getting tired and heavy, but I still tried to push myself. To C8 I lost another 2min and to C9 Ernst and Mani caught me (6 and 12min). Now I really thought: "Why should I exhaust myself anymore?" The last 9 controls I did not really fast, including a big mistake of 4-5min at C14.
I finished 20min behind Mani. Quite disapointing....
