Well, it wasn’t that hot after all. At least not in the shelter… I know, it was still very hot and stuffy on the course. The water control came handy. There were several DNFs, mostly weather related, but the courses were also far from easy. Controls #4 (43), #8 (47) and #16 (55) turned out […]

Read MoreThe summer has come. Both sprints proved to be quite challenging, definitely Orange, mostly due to the “greenishness” of the forest. Also people who ran late got soaked (or should I say refreshed?) by a sudden storm. Huge thanks go to Artem and Mihai who picked up controls when running their second sprint courses. — […]

Read MoreIt was perfect “end of summer” event (moderately hot, lots of spiderwebs, and lots of “green”) and it was great to see everybody again after such long summer break.
