D oveva be the third installment of my summer vacation, in May, had planned the Tyrol, the 'Ori ngen and HOP . Probably, the program also included the lowering of the flag-of my season in the CO and to avoid thoughts " someone" wanted to give me a decisive hand!
During the outward journey, I reflected on the two appointments main trail 's race and relay with Columbus; enter mbe races would come at the end of vacation and so I had time to prepare well.
HOP The first stage, we ran to the pond to Roanoke under the usual "welcome to my" sun to be happy I was given the role of open M40 (well 2 out of 3 stages, I know the program of random ...) and especially just after noon! these were the first signs of "luck" that I would accompanied throughout the week ....
However, after a bad start with loss of the bottle and error due to the second point contour random (on board card), I can finish the test in a dignified manner despite the " cagatoio " final (b mines used in its true meaning!) manages ap erdere few minutes.
of this race I will be the arrival of a beautiful image next to a puddle of water divided into three parts depending on the co value of liquid .... ever seen!
After logistic past experiences, mostly negative (I still have in mind the "diet Pennar "), this year Mary has found a wonderful studio complete with a great view of the momunento of the fallen.
I always compensatory measures Asiago plateau or as a cool and quiet: in the early days I found heat, humidity and smog caused by too much traffic.
The second stage, with the climatic conditions unchanged and also the starting time was worse ta the long term ! mind you: I really like these cards, but only when I can read .... Unfortunately, over the years, I learned that over a certain temperature I may as well be at the meeting because 's orienteering I do statement.
Stegal Although I had given her food before leaving, I thought about going to return it to the second point after I had estimated at 25 meters height difference between the two lanterns on the same line ... (1-2), unequivocal signal head out! Stefano avoided me good to come back to haunt in my heavy advance in spa lla and carry around for an hour and a half without making me look more hateful white paper points with blacks.
Third stage: it is ideal to prepare, mentally, the launch of the relay Sunday. It's sunny, but the altitude and the air give me satisfaction ; are first on the list and the map is not trivial: Yes, I run the mental load and pressure points.
Here begins the second HOP!
when everything is ready, comes the outline of Dipa ; Ale is a rag
Azzo nice duel in which HB , always ready to joke and character amateur sport, a day has fallen ill: he became director of CRL ! since then it has fallen more and more earnest in the guise of responsible losing sight of what his origins orienteering.
As I said, the Dipa approaches and asks me if I want to do the relay with him, I find that this request was dictated by old friendship orienteering but the fact that the CRL would call Mark
on Saturday (I will omit a controversy about this calling to prevent the post's comments may be complaint) and I would be left alone.
I do not know that she has taken Ale, but my answer was not the nicest because I think there are ways of ethical behavior that go beyond the results, charts or simple cups !
Given that words are not enough to convince us he thought "someone" to do so: in fact, start the game well, I pay a couple of minutes after an uphill effort, stands up well despite the central section a minute lost at a hole ( Friz tell me to find her soon because a guy came out of the ground asking if his lantern ...) and I went toward the end lanterns.
E 'known that I am not a dragon down: my only thought is to the physical integrity and, if anything, can spend less time, the rule also applied this time but, during Campomulo the descent of the slope (is 12-13) I was behind some invisible shape "that made me take a flight in my whole life orienteering had not yet done!
Result: apart from the various bruises , a terrible bruise to the knee, after those first few moments of pain and limping the next step towards road was replacing one drug for a few hours of mind which erases the reason and makes you finish the race but will submit the bill after the event.
In these conditions I could not win the beer Cosimo otherwise the 36 "of the winner would have been a joke ...-)).
Well, my week ended Wednesday by To start a healthy man from " Paralympic ", just to be in theme Trail .
I witnessed, as a "radio man", the spectacular sprint relay team on Friday and Sunday , where it seems that the " controgufata "has had an effect .-))
deserves a chapter of the race trail , I did not know the background on
map to the dispute over the scandal at the race! you can not go in Asiago, area maps perfect for trail and end up in the middle of a meadow where holes and rocks would not be used even for educational purposes, a race like that I can conceive of an unfortunate location of the Po Valley in which contracts with a race.
Asiago But no! believe that those (the majority of newcomers) who have done the first training map of the Italian Cup in 2009, we are amazed diversity and, perhaps, the complexity of the stage this year.
Therefore, even those questions were not all interesting, and already the first point in time presaged no good: five lanterns, lawn with description, place very near where the only logical step from a intersection of center line and side yard of the house.
I liked the second and third point in time, they had their own logic and the solution required attention.
Generalizing between my feelings and felt by the protagonists , I think that points 1 - 4 (later amended) - 13 - 14 have given the biggest complaints.
Personally (I'm back on the field competition at 18 to review all easy), I think that points 1 - 5-13 I would never have been able to answer with certainty because the view is not me allowed to choose the correct answer, in particular, the hole (5) and rock (13) could only be guessed.
Others were the reasons of my mistakes: the response of torque from 4 to 14 would not have been wrong but there was a pending issue of race Montichiari (2008). At that time, a lantern was placed behind a fence, but physically attached to the branches of a hedge: the decision of the time ".... read the control description says fence and then the cloth dev 'to be attached to the fence .. "
Well, since I see that point 4 is very simple to me comes to mind that phrase, which is why I put Z and go forward. The problem it presents for me 14: I understand that here it is impossible that the tracker has used 2 times the same solution, but for consistency I decided to put Z even though I had seen that the correct answer was C.
From the solutions that I understand the above sentence was valid only in 2008 but I do not regret because the answer to four is Z for another reason .... but we are lucky during the week and that's after the race the response changes from Z to B!
error of 3 is my own and is also a lesson: the lantern is not always the center of the circle!
The error of 8 is .... I would not tell but only show my paper at the point where there is the crown (the only object on which to base response) I have a son wear sign blank sheet! My solution was virtually rebuilt extending a fence that passed right NW in the middle of the circle.
Points 11 and 12 were children of the same rule: the walls are mapped 1 meter in height; sin that I have remembered the response after 11 ....
discussed the last point 13: to be picky there is the Z, in which case I will always remember the phrase that Roberta Falda once told me: "You, as a Z, you put it?" Since my answer was negative I opted for the answer to even because I noticed that the contour lines between the points 10 and 13 is not matched crabs.
There would also be insult, foiled at the last moment: the first official rankings next to my name there is a penalty to have come out of time .... it is true that limping and I could not stand but my timing should still work! In this case, the luck did not want too much rage and the card made me justice.
I believe that this time the season is really over: I had to go to Brallo but the knee is still swollen but I hope that the week of luck in the woods is over Vicenza.
