The navigation standard is moderate, with some sections easy in urban areas. It's perfect for trail runners and adventure racers.
Non-orienteers will have little difficulty with this standard, yet it is still challenging in terms of route choice for the experienced orienteer.
See the TT website for full details.
Eszter Kocsik (Garingal Orienteers) recently competed in the Hungarian Middle and Relay Championships in Slovakia on June 15-16. Her comments are below on the weekend.
On Saturday, we had the qualification race in the morning followed by the final in the afternoon. The terrain was beautiful and rocky with large depressions, presenting a technical yet fast challenge. I knew I needed to be completely focused and strong, and I managed to deliver just that. I felt great about my run in the final, and I was thrilled to find out that it earned me the second place in the highly competitive Hungarian junior elite field.
On Sunday, I ran the first leg for our M20 relay team. Despite a small mistake at the start, I ran a clean race and came in third place for my leg, contributing to our team's overall fourth-place finish. It was an eventful and hot weekend in a stunning location with excellent organisation. I'm happy to have been part of it and to have competed at my best.
