Yesterday we were in Vrnjacka Banja Spa and ran Relay National Championship.
The organizers and national federation decided, in the name of orienteering promotion, hold competition in urban area, in Serbian famous spa center - Vrnjacka Banja.
In previous days we can heard a lot of opposit point of view, and clubs who were against this conclusion, but after the race I belive the everybody could be satisfaid. Except the teams who doesen't shot the target, of course.
The area covered with lot of parks, old buildings, hotels, pools. In this period of the year, especialy on Sunday, there were a lot of tourists, visitors and walkers.
So, instead of forests peace and silence we had beton, loudness, confusion... Great conditions and opportunity for city-guys to win :)
In male senior class over 20 teams took their position on the start line. My club (OT Kosutnjak), defending champions from previous year, this year started with same runners but different order - Popovic, Vukovic and I.
The perchance is dissapear after we exchanged 1st. Dejan made 3 minute advantage against second best team "Celik", Igor increased margine almost 10 minut more and everything what I should to do is make one stabile race and finishing easily. The all 3rd legs were slower in the field and main reason could be tropical heat - over 30 deegres.
