I feel really lucky that I had the opportunity to go to the training camp in Hungary for next year's WOC. Here is why:
-very well organized camp (super high quality)
-great terrain
-good maps
-good company (met up with US team members Ekaterina Orekhova and Boris Granovskiy, and Irish team member Ailbhe Creedon)
-warm weather (we just got several cm of snow at home in Switzerland, so I am glad winter waited a little to let us train well first)

The terrain has totally motivated for next year and I am also looking forward to spending some more time in Hungary. Here is a glimpse into their culture: Zsolti a béka

This music was introduced to us by Csaba Grösswein, who is Boris and Kat's roommate in Uppsala. Csaba did quite well at the Hungary Long distance champs. Very cool! Take a look:

How many nations represented in the 2nd photo?


I had a stomach flue just before leaving for Hungary, I still had some pain during the first few trainings. This is what I looked like. (Photo 3)


We went to the caves! (Photo 4)


By the end of the week I was a very happy orienteer. (Photo 5)
