I have been lazy again. A lot to tell, but I will try to be short.
More then week ago I reached the sky with paraplain almost 500m above the Riga. Amazingly safe feeling up there and everything looks so minute. Hope to try it once more.
Last week we had ( actually Ilze had) two Swedes staying at our place so nearly all week I were in Cesis to make food and have some fun.
But I managed to see Fast Five (as Fast and Furious is top 1 in my list) on big screen. The best movie I have seen ever. Love it.
Last week also did my first Meridiāns, held in the same area where Latvian championships (middle distance) is going to be. When I was little I felt really strong in this terrain, I loved orienteering there, but now it has turned the tables. It took a lot of will to get of there.
This weekend - competitions near the Madona. I had "best" start list ever, they made me run first from group both days. 1st day did persistent race till last 4 controls, where I had idea about close finish and starting to run faster. It cost a lot of time. Also should mention that "white" map were all with break down trees after some storm. 2nd day - I love the scale 15:000. First five controls I was "waking up " them , remembering how was running with "slow" SI-card. Then to 7. control mixed places and thought I am too far. Also on 17. control took wrong way , better would have been to go out to big road in first place,instead of crossing broken trees on that small track, I lost there about 2min. The race was really hard due those trees on ground.
