Tiomila 2009 - the beautiful Mapping orienteering 
's not just for the satisfaction of being the first Italian company to conclude the Tiomila (after Jukola in 2007), is not only the fact of being a decent 7 °
village, not just the fact that he won the challenge with a net Skodeg-O ... The satisfaction that you are trying to return from a similar event is the consciousness of having contributed to something big: a group that has formed and trained through the winter under the watchful eye of coach Cristian capable and attentive.
a coach who has bet on himself and us, some in particular, and that, on balance won the entire stake. Thus arises as a spontaneous thank you to all the comrades, Captain in the head, which together have won this major milestone, thank you! After this incipit dignified and full of pathos we go to the most prosaic. This trip was a blast, we had a great time, we ran well and all our villages and we scrambled the friends of Skodeg-O, better than this?!? Could have been better, they know something those who braved the journey home in a van from Copenhagen

morning is dedicated to training in a paper in the beautiful woods surrounding the Danish capital. Woods full of deer e. .. tick ...
Fortunately, it was just Friday that I made the worst mistakes, healing the sacred scolding by Tone! Then he picked up a part of the relay team from Italy - Cris, Mariano, Nic and Andrea. Flying at Astorp to drop off luggage and then directly in the field of competition.
The first impact with the Tio is still soft, still missing a lot of tents, many structures and many orienteers, despite that the sight is already considerable. Recovered with some uncertainty of the envelope and removed the company
invaluable training cards (here you could open a debate about why for 10 cards printed with a laser on a normal A4 paper with some fixed point positioned reflectors, must pay the beauty of 500 SEK for a card, among other things, on which some have had regard to accuracy and precision of the update).
Good night training, precision and slowness are the keys to emerge unscathed from the Swedish forest, on Friday evening I left!
Saturday, April 18, 2009 - Tiomila day
The day begins with an optional alena on paper the night before, just to go to review the misdeeds of the previous evening, we move to the other field in the race to prepare 'camp for the night. The day is beautiful, warm sun, clear skies, the Scandinavian god of meteorology is watching us benevolent. Spectacular launch of women and junior. In the afternoon we return to housing and finally begins to really think about at night is coming! I decided the logistics to transport everyone starts to relax and concentrate on their way! Around 19 we left for the field competition, the games begin. The first relay Tom, Anthony, Chris and Michael, accompanied by me, and Mariano Nic left for the competition area. As we approach the fateful hour of 21:30 the tension began to be palpable, the air is electric ... The launch of the men is spectacular! The corridor is narrow and the group is to advance compact and tight. It looks like a living alien shall be sent without delay to the dark forest. About has the misfortune of losing the card to the launch should NEVER stop suddenly and turn back to avoid being swept mercilessly ... Just missing the top runners return home at once, it's time for us to rest a few hours before our village. Fruitful way back! At 3.30 the alarm goes off! It 'my turn (7th) and Tone (8th), still half asleep we close our bags, have breakfast and head in the race field. We find that Dario is preparing for his locality, is silent, tense but focused, even when we do have a question answered, the other runners ran well, the location is around 200 °, destroyed, Michael, 2h.34 ' Swedish in the night, with repeated falls in the swamps and trains which he said were worse than those of Trenitalia, and we said everything! With a few minutes late Simone arrives, arrived, nothing else matters.
Dario hand, it is as if my race even started! The WT is provided by the organizers of 60 '. Dario runs trains but without much of the day, the appearance of 75'-80 '. I also started to get ready, I'm calm, relaxed abbastabza. The watchword of the coach is clear and simple: slow down to avoid mistakes, safe choices, especially to avoid big mistakes and leave minutes into the points. This I am very calm because I know I can make strong ECJ not going well ... I start heating, finally some thrill of emotion for me, the speaker announced the arrival. Some come to see me in the transition area, I try to tell him politely that I do not want company :-) I almost did not notice when the speaker articulates "TWO HUNDRED FIFTEEN" It 's mine! E 'Dario! E 'punctual, I start the timer and I get the little champion going down like a rocket from the last point! Pass me the paper I give him the shirt folds the paper and began my race ...
The stretch tape for Sweden is long and there is plenty of time to choose the first leg, a bit long but there is conduece the road, there is no choice, via the road. The first step is easy, getting into the points but not the individual immediately, run enza stack in the shadow of the undergrowth and the reflectors are of little use. Also for the second choice cautious approach and then footpath through the swamp. After punching a few seconds for the choice of these long, after so many races to go by the choices made below the line (waiting for the Scandinavian land) you can search fialmente run "under the line" or so. Then running along walls, roads and cut through the forest area in precise arrival point. For the 4th wall to the south of the line is a useful handrail to lean on, yet precise point in the area. I'm running quite slow and therefore the effort does not yet feel the difference has not yet reached, the 5th. on Spike TV for the first time I find someone who makes my own question, lean satisfaction, the 6th is just around the corner. For the 7 th with a run along with the train printed on the back, make slightly different choices but we are still in sight of each other. Arrived in the maze of walls below the doctor stops him indecisive, I point straight to the swamp, the point is behind a rock, the tracks leading to the lantern are evident on soft ground. In that I see the first train, coming from my direction again to another but different from mine, I do take a moment but then I I pull in solitary ii points show are close, I'll be right at the 8th, I see from a distance but I did not lose everything and go back a few seconds before deciding to go to d punzonara. Street, the corridor spettacvolo, legs run down to a thousand, punzano points required, greeting the EMI on the bridge and go back into the woods. Adrenalin time I played a bad joke and the choice we make for the 11th is a little too wide. The 12th is a point already seen several times as close to the road, but get there a little too wide. The 13th is the end of a long wall that through the green abbatsanza dirty at this point are tired, I am overcome by a bold middle-aged woman, but this is too much! Raise in excess before boarding and plunge into the green. Fortunately, there is a track that runs parallel to the wall, in a point slow down, perhaps arriving too short. The first alarm bell rings, I understand that the end of the race is close, I have to grit your teeth and avoid lapses in concentration and errors for relaxation. Still love the 14, for the 15th I think taking the road on the right, just change your mind and decide to work around the green hill on the left. Arriving on the road I go down the line, but I see clear evidence that run on the right, I take that point to the deck in the middle of the swamp, but do not see it, lagging a bit in the mud but I go out, the 15th I do not see, I see peròun crowd and I throw it, the point is right, there are still a few meters, for the 16th there is a mini train that goes into the woods, do the pace and after dividdiamo have punched us, the lower courts in the dirty area, I with some fearless straight in low vegetation, look for tracks, there are, with no malice and anger accelerates in the dirt. Old literally sinking into the marshland, the choice is not low paid and we meet them they are still going up the valley, the race is over, legs in the 100 free, going down in the Arena I pulled the compass, control the clock and hit Tone waiting on time, I pass the card over. it went well. The fraction of the 7th Tiomila is one of the cleanest races I've ever fattto, always in contact with the paper, I ran a little and slowly but always precise, I realize that not nenahce tired, do not know if it's adrenaline or slow but I'm fine, I did my part.
qualifications, Battery C
