39/2002 European ChampionshipsMONDAYo-training 41min in Sümeg (Hungary). Terrain seems to be suitable for me (first mistake; to be too confident) Training TUESDAYModel event 45min for EOC-races. Confidence intensifies (good or bad thing?). Nice terrain, though. WEDNESDAYMiddle distance 19 + 30 min + warm-ups. Catastrophe. Self-confidence, gone. Whole man, almost gone. 40th place. Middle final THURSDAYRelay 45min + warm-ups. This was more like it! We all made good performance and took overpowering win home. I had the best feeling on this season after the race. Relay FRIDAYRunning 15min. Pasi in Yesterday's relay SATURDAYShort distance (sprint) 13min + warm-ups. I had bad luck (wrong control description on the first control, for all in our heat), but that what happens sometimes (but in the EOC!). So no final for me(13 sec away from the last man to the final). SUNDAYClassic qualification 58min + warm-ups. I cheered up well and ran well. 6th position in my heat.
