Our second day in Israel is now finishing. We have had pretty perfect weather, as you can see in the photo above, check out more photos from the race) . Yeah, we participated in a local competition of something like 300 runners and I was also running bit faster today already. It was nice to orienteer in a runnable terrain (running speed under 5 min/km) and mostly I did quite ok orienteering. But once I forgot totally one control and had to go back - 500m of extra running.
In todays second training we had some more hill-orienteering and I was counting that total climbing has already now exceeded 1000m. So, Israel is a great place to do hill-o-training, that's for sure! We'll see what else we get here, but so far everything (especially people, food and culture) has been really nice to experience.
And one bonus photo from our cool-down run...Mt. Tabor on the background:
