On 25 april in Chisinau was a regional orienteering competition Azimut -Prietenie! In this year, organizers  made a middle distances (not free choice, as in last 3 years - I dislike this type of orienteering because to get a good place you need have fast legs at finish). Distances had 5,41km. Initially when I saw length of course my smail vanished from my face  - again 5-6km! How I will compete with our atlhetes. However I quieted, over a day was scheduled first International Chisinau Marathon (my first official marathon), so I decided to run slowly, carefully, to have power for marathon. I found on my blog old map of this teritory and made a superficial analysis and I have already had thought what type of course can be. After that I went to sleeb. Any before competition go to slep earlier.

  Next morning I went at competition,as if I went to university - easy, without emotion. At start I greet  my friends and because I had little time I started to do exercises before start.

   If I still haven't aim to run for good result, I got slow start (this time don't feel beating of  pulse as at other competitii). Until start of course I observed how are located control points - one point near, next - far ( 100m-500m - something like this) . I started race with right leg. After first point, my eyes began to wonder on map, until second point.  Next all was very easy. At some points where needed to measure the distance - I took these points with perfect precision.When came time to pick up the hill - of course with small steps and slowly - say in my mind, perhaps others running faster here . The last part of distance need to be very careful with paths - it was in my favour, because last week I worked at this elements. I passed the distance in 5 stages: horizontal - entry in the map, descent - attempt to increase speed, horizontal simple - relax, climb - carefully and horizontal acceleration.

  I like today's race, since fourth points I have smyle and run with pleasre. I don't concentrate on results, but PARADOXICALLY I won the competition. Perhaps it was the prize for tomorrow morathon - motivation. I like the route not becuase I had the best timpe, Mi-a plăcut traseul nu din cauză că am aratat cel mai bun timp, but that I ran relaxed.Perhaps this is a littlte secret.The grea secret is the same: Let's do training everyday
