Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test Broken

O-Ringen 2010

from 1993 that was expected to come to this race, and every year I re-proposed the trip to Sweden, but always with negative results. Much envied those who were telling me their stories: many orienteers, supermarket equipment CO, huge parking, maps and land stimulants, opponents of another level ... etc.

Well, it all came true this week! In this post I will not tell my races, because they are one of the many strangers who turn into the woods with a card and little can be said in "ranking".
I want to tell what this race to those who have never been in the eye and has only some experience multidays by small numbers.
First, this event is run by a real company that takes care of the logistics, registrations this year were over the 11 000 and is an even number too big. In fact, on other occasions it has reached peaks of 20 000 participants and scores below 10 thousand members tend to say that "things have gone wrong!"
I have to admit that ages, races at the meeting, these people do not notice: the fact that the departures are spread over 5-6 hours and that the guidelines are in the woods, those who wait on board finish are quite a few , is very different, however, the comings and goings of people: those who start early, turn away those who still face crossing the forest, which in turn cross the last to leave in short: it seems to be in the middle of a road in a market day!
The same scene is repeated, for hours on end in the hall: there are at least a dozen parallel rows determine the finish for each category, each category is associated with a sponsor and it is through it that are determined different start and finish, in this large canyon for hours, there's people of all ages that drive as if victory was at hand.
Around the goal, as well as a vast expanse of backpacks, tents, flags, there are a number of important dimensions of the stand, passing the containers of the speaker (here is a radio frequency that broadcasts live), the tent with the PC on the network to see the results live, with a mini-orienteering for emergencies, the area massages, a huge kindergarten where children are numbered with a harness .... In this regard, I noticed that instead of playing them, the leaders taught their chores and for this I was astonished to see children with hammer and nails!
The area showers and bathrooms are huge because most of the participants are accustomed to taking a shower outdoors regardless of weather and there will be booths for food though the menu is not your typical Italian.
The competition center is a small town: it seems to be a fair, not only because it sells everything here, but because people wandering back and forth looking for gadgets or questions related to the event. The town of Orebro
was invaded by the people oriented; the first day there was a sprint to the center and it was done the traditional parade, honestly, you do not see many other reports on the event despite the restaurants and hotels have increased their seats .
recounted the logistical side of the woods and wanted to talk about the cards: it will also be true that happened in the year when Simone Luder said: "This forest is the most technical of Sweden, but the ground is fantastic! long after I went back to true guidance, one where you can not distract a moment because if you lose concentration you have a mistake borne of minutes, and I speak not only for me, because I noticed a split sample passes from the first ten places in the last ten ... How
said Remus, fair play should not ask anything from others, but here I saw people in trouble (I, for one) that if he had not asked their position would be running again now. The fact is that the terrain is very flat, but at times also very detailed and everything looks like the only help T are scattered on the paper. The maps are very precise but you should understand immediately what is being mapped and what colors are used, the substrate is very soft because it is the moss that dominates these lands. For
culinary lovers, mark the large amount of berries and mushrooms frequent areas, the landscape is really nice: it goes from rocky hills to flat expanses of pine and clean with wide visibility, marshes, thanks to the drought in recent weeks, are viable and help much at sea. Of course here you have to travel with the compass for many years, I have done without but on this occasion I had to do a crash course because otherwise it takes very little to travel off course. A speech
deserve even the opponents here I really understood my level: poor! I'm not talking technically, but in general .... the map and the woods, traveling concentrated, I do not have big problems but the difference is in execution speed! here I see really what is the average level of Scandinavian orienteers (their land) and I began to understand why orienteers as Baccega, Corradini, Anuchkin, struggling to stay in the top 20! the average level is such that 2-3 minutes apart mean positions 20-30, a thing that struck me as funny is that when you are wrong, the time that is lost is greater than perceived. For a long time I have lurking in the corridor and I have reviewed the final form of the state of the participants, even those who are overweight (a few) have a sustained speed anyway regardless of age.
The surroundings of the town of Orebro are ideal for the orientation: maps very close to the city, with fixed routes of increasing difficulty for both the race for the mountain bike, but even just to run, the long paths that cut through these pine trees give the feeling of being in a paradise where, aided by the climate, you hear very little effort.
As anticipated, I would not write much about my performance: when the weather was cloudy and rainy and I was able to enjoy a little mistake in the heat while I cursed this trip, it seems strange, but the temperature difference between the number of days has been remarkable ! from 10-15 degrees to almost 30 of the third stage. Since
improvement, being the first time I ventured up this type of terrain I thought more of making a mistake, after all this time I found the taste to run the card in hand, perhaps because the challenge with the Scandinavian land I was missing.
I believe that any guidance should come here to feel, see, understand, then, can begin to make comparisons with other places, situations, numbers.
I waited 17 years, perhaps too many, maybe I regret not to call Mark Johansson (brand name suggeritomi by GOK) to endlessly relive those feelings that I felt this trip. Return to the maps ...

Wooden Rabbit Hutch Blueprints

week to Tampere

Describe four races trail, played in just 24 hours, it might be boring for the reader; why I'll do a summary of various aspects and curiosity about this trip.
First, I wanted to write about the city: on paper Finland's third largest city, but compared to the Italian cities, I would say that would not even be in the top hundred cities, in a hypothetical ranking. Life is very quiet, lots of green, lots of water, plenty of space, lots of cycling and walking paths, lots of people doing sports, conversely, being a town created by old buildings, has no major attractions or traditions excluding some specific museum . The temperature is cool and a lot of time variable while the sunlight lasts for at least 20 hours! there is a particular area for shopping because the houses are spread over a strip of land surrounded by two lakes, and for this, new shopping centers are built in the suburbs well connected by public transport, with Mary, we used a lot in this regard, I must admit here that everybody pays the ticket as you enter the front door only under the careful control of the driver.

Luck of sports Tampere is to have a couple of woods in the city where they can go to practice many sports: besides the usual running and cycling, the center Kauppi I saw a series of sports teams to practice different types of football, Frisbee, soccer ball with a huge, a variant of baseball, an open gym ....

Not having a map d ' orienteering, I could just practice on this land unknown to me: the area is drawn with white color but it's really hard to run in the middle of this vegetation. It reminded me of the woods of Asiago, with less slope but a variety of stones and rocks to make interesting paper in 2001, on these maps are the courses WOC and it was interesting to observe the locations Internet.

The weekend was a super appointment that I had signs ed in autumn 2009, when I came to the Nordic match for his country and this land I was fascinated by its complexity and the difference from our competition is remarkable. Unfortunately, last year, I was affected and I was not able to express myself better and this year, my challenge was with the wood and not against their opponents, especially Remo which is much more familiar with the land and with the athletes Nordic.

L ' organization is provided by four people who run the whole event: Sari, Jari , Marj and Hannu are everywhere and coordinate a dozen people involved in the siting and timing ; departure times are affected as the meeting of the second and third stage is a little distant and the mass start is divided into three groups is not always respected. About mass start, I confirm they do not like this kind of solution: get in twenty (unless in the sixties as a third stage) on the first point is really a bad feeling bearing in mind that there are wheelchairs and strollers sometimes ... .

On Saturday morning is the first commitment: 20 + 2 at time 110 ', the sky is variable and it's cool. The terrain is typical of this area: stones, rocks, woods with low visibility, the first group of lanterns grossly wrong that I had a Z seen well but in the end I was influenced by many people who assiepavano point of view.

Errors at 9, 12, 17 I have no regrets because I have doubts remained even after the race, I had problems at this stage of time and fortunately the last three answers were easy. Very simple points in time even if the first took me too long to make no hasty reply.

time to eat something in a structure special agreement, and the 15 is part of the time : lanterns from the eight groups of three questions each. The start list is given by the general classification, and then one of the first birth, during the journey also takes a little water, but who is party half an 'hour later he g airy with shower! I really enjoyed myself with this formula: for every error 45 "most of the time taken penalty, in the final standings for every 60" cost a point (ie 200 "total time cost 3 points and 20). In the end, seems to pay more speed rather than accuracy, but the tactics will be studied ....

My performance starts with a call error dictated by the rush (the lady tells me: "You can 't change answer!"), The second group I'm afraid I have another wrong, while the third cluster mistake an easy answer, however, distinguish between the fronds du and fir trees in front of one another is not easy. The fourth stop is terrible (not just for me): two errors! Unfortunately I was unable to set mentally well what ' availment. Here it starts to rain and I even more quickly because I had not brought anything with me (at the start of trial was sunny ...); still the wrong answer to the fifth cluster and then finally a clear path to the end.

sure the experiment was positive but we need special training since the speed of athletes is truly amazing !

Around 19, a new mass start (but everyone!) For 16 points in 80 + 2-time ', at this stage begin to feel the st anchezza and a low blood sugar. I make a mistake in Step 4 to a Z millimimetrica (without glasses because I have lost a lens), but what burns me is the mistake of punching 8 on the 9! I felt it because the physical sensations were the same as when I do that type of error no regrets about the error to the number 7 that I would do so forever. Long queue for the points in time, with the result of get nervous too because of hunger and darkness that is in the points (I'm almost 21!), Respond to questions without conviction but luck helps me in the second answer!

I'll be back at the hotel with a bitter taste for the decline in physical final but aware that it has improved compared to 2009.

On Sunday morning the sun appears in the woods of Tampere but competitors do not trust much to leave their jackets, the race provide for 20 points in 150 + 2-time '. Everything seems to be a good start with the first answer where I was torn between the D and Z (Z Remus says and does the only mistake of the day) but right punzano; black out from 4 to 6: the first two daughters of the same error contours (later write the because ), the six, a kind of cemetery (actually were concrete blocks with iron pole vertical) with a small problem: the lanterns were visible only from the point of view and elbowing you to try with 10-15 people to see 30 feet below the concrete which is right! I finally pulled a little randomly between the two furthest apart. Good sequence to the point 13 (m error at eleven to see why 4 and 5) then Z syndrome at 14 and 15! who does trail knows that if it finds a Z in the first 10 responses will start to worry .... Jokes aside, in both points the answer was pretty obvious, but who knows because I had to find valid reasons to convince me that they were not! Everything ok up to the lantern 20. The two points in time really bad: I count the points where the scene bad or the card is partially concealed. In the first point, I responded to that because on paper, seems silly! in fact the junction was not in the middle of a wood dish but the beginning of the climb ... worse, the second time control where the rock closest to the road was covered with fir trees while the lantern C was laid at the foot of a rock (always in front of others) but small. All legitimate, but which teaches us not to underestimate even in some special lanterns in time.

speech contour is very simple: on paper it is written equidistance 2.5 while in reality I could call them to your liking, I realized that these curves are not drawn to actual size, but in particular to indicate the particular forms of land regardless of their height.

A note on Remus that has been able interpret these curves even though his only mistake was just about used by this object, be noted that, contrary to what many people supported by CO- orienteer , the podium, and its extension , is composed of young people from various nations, a sign that good eyesight and a brain are still not yet worn the difference!

In conclusion, I come home after a relaxing holiday in a cool, conscious that it has improved my relationship with the Finnish rocks but have found a new obstacle in the contour! but I'll take care of this in the next super weekend.

STANDINGS

Itchy After Threading

The art of communicating and

This is a transitional post: I wrote three things to report.

First thing, I'll try to write the next post in google translate so easily able to be as close as possible to what he reads.

Second, the report site Alberto Grilli where you can listen live (Wednesday night) or so registered, the voices and impressions of athletes involved in various activities related to orienteering.

Last night, I did it for action to contribute to very laudable initiative.

Third, the site trailo.it, is publishing an interview with Marit Wiksell, eighteen year old Swedish girl, who answers questions about his relationship with the Stegal trail-orienteering.
