Last weekend i went to a very nice place in the north called Gerês to run the national championships in long distance and relay. I would say that this place is PERFECT for orienteering. In fact, the forests at about 800 to 1000 m altitude with some rocky details are different from any other explored place for orienteering in Portugal and i'm very happy with ".Com"'s organization.
The long distance was hard! It was all about concentration and just one BIG route choice.. maybe strong legs too because analyzing the splits graphic i realize that i was never fighting for the gold or silver medal.
Anyway i'm happy that i'm still alive and ready to work for next year!

Fantastic relay!
The main word of sunday's relay was again concentration!
From the beginning we knew that it would be hard to win against COC's team, but not impossible and the fight was until the finish.
I've run the first leg and the pressure was high. I've lost 1 min and some seconds in the 5th control, but quickly I've caught the train again and so i think that my run was quite Ok! I've finished in 3rd, about 30 seconds behind the leading team - ADFA.
Unfortunately COC's team was very good and we were 2nd at the end, about 1min and some seconds behind.
I have to say congratulations to my friends David and Diogo who have fought untill the end and still with junior age i think we've made a very nice result =)
