Ocamp.cz Day #3

Because I was still living in GMT +2 time zone I missed my czech training partners and had to enjoy WOC2008 Long Final course alone.
I ran only first part (16 controls), but that was more than enough. After first glance into map probably everyone has the same idea - "route choices". Long course planner definitely wants to "catch" You on those long legs, but here in Czech  the short legs can be also used as very decisive with few route choices. So I concentrated  more on picking the "right" route and picking it early.
I am quite happy about my decisions on the move, just 2nd control left with doubt. Maybe it would have been better to run all the way around the hill on bigger path than climbing on the hill by that small path? (Some help?). Anyway the attacking of the control wasn't difficult from the top. And bigger mistake on 4th control (went little too high). The last long leg I took not in the fastest way, but tried to do it more technically. I took right route choice (later will update the map with route choices).
Even though I tried to avoid climbing as much as possible after the training my legs were like stony and last 60 steps up to the room were conquered only with a brake :)
