A couple of weeks ago, we decided to go to another orienteering weekend and find out how unfit we really are. We chose the Salzburg Championships as they were held in a particular beautiful part of Austria. The start-/finish-area of the relay and individual race was situated almost half way up Austria highest mountain (Großglockner) at about 1.400m above sea. As you can imagine that involved lots and lots of climb in 2 days of 0rienteering. But the scenery and the weather made up for it and we had a wonderful time. Richard was very proud to become 2nd in the relay (the main category - he was lucky as a whole lot of teams got disqualified). Edith and I were also 2nd behind the top-team consisting of an ex-worldchampion (and now mummy of a 2 year old) and another unfit orienteering mum. I like to mention the ex-world champion because it makes our result look much better ...
Even though we had to climb up a ski slope at the individual race it was great fun and demanding orienteering.The only thing that got me worried on the weekend was that Hanna refused to do the kids string course ... :-)
Have a great week!
