Wind of change

As promised, I updated the top and the right side of my blog yesterday.
There is some new interesting information there:
  • new motto
  • link to the website of my new Norwegian club - RAUMAR
  • updated section 'get to know me!'
  • new way to show my achievements
  • my Personal Bests from track, street and not only
  • the globe to see my O-journey
  • all Polish bloggers gathered in one place
  • 'Follow me!' section - just do it!
  • statistics of total pageviews
And that's all for now, I think:)


Recently I've found an interesting article (in Polish) on the Internet. It is about Ronnie O'Sullivan - one of the best snooker players in the world...

O'Sullivan nie miał łatwego dzieciństwa. Jego ojciec - Ronnie senior - został skazany na 18 lat pozbawienia wolności za zabójstwo czarnoskórego ochroniarza. Po tym zdarzeniu nastoletni O'Sullivan popadł w depresję. Wówczas zaczęły się jego problemy z alkoholem i narkotykami. Ronnie senior jeszcze przed rozpoczęciem kary więzienia poprosił Ray'a Reardona, by ten poprowadził dalej dobrze zapowiadającą się karierę syna. W młodości Ronnie junior nie przykładał się do nauki. Na pytanie, co było jego ulubionym przedmiotem w szkole, odpowiedział, iż nigdy nie koncentrował się na nauce i od zawsze wiedział, że jego sposobem na życie będzie snooker. W końcu zerwał ze szkołą i całymi dniami przesiadywał w klubach snookerowych.
W 1994 roku w więzieniu znalazła się jego matka Maria (za malwersacje finansowe). Wówczas O'Sullivan musiał się zająć swoją młodszą siostrą Danielle i doglądać rodzinnych biznesów. Z początku nie udało mu się temu podołać - popadł w coraz większe uzależnienia spowodowane nasilającą się depresją. Ostatecznie jednak udało mu się wybrnąć z kłopotów i rozpocząć karierę snookerzysty.
Od tego czasu został trzykrotnie Mistrzem Świata, był pięciokrotnie pierwszy na Światowej Liście Rankingowej, zdobył najszybszego breaka maksymalnego podczas Mistrzostw Świata, został jedynym zdobywcą 3 breaków maksymalnych podczas Mistrzostw Świata. Ponadto wygrał 24 turnieje rankingowe i 28 turniejów nierankingowych.

21. You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.

Winter training and new Norwegian club

Now I am staying in Zakopane on a winter training camp. It's already the 4th day of the camp and there are still 3 days left. Today we are having a rest day - just a morning jog, aquapark in a couple of minutes and then easy running, some speed-ups and strength exercises in the afternoon. I am coming back on 23th December in the late evening and on 26th December in the morning I am leaving for another sports camp - in Jagniątków.

One more news: I am happy to be a member of a Norwegian club - RAUMAR Orienteering. I joined this club together with Agata, Natalia and Witek. I hope the cooperation will develop great in the future!

P.S. I promise to update my blog during the Christmas time, so watch out;)

Passion - that's what you need.

A lot happened since the last post. Only one thing is common for the past weeks: the fact that my shape sucks.

However, I even managed to become the Polish Champion in night orienteering for the second time in a row. My race was far from perfect - more than 10 minutes lost to 'superman'.
I did even reach another medal - bronze in the long distance race. I lacked the appropriate motivation and my only goal was to finish the race. It's no fun getting medals in a way like this. Fortunately, I am coming to the elite class in less than 3 months and I can't wait to get a real thrashing;) To be honest, Dominik's silver medal was much more important for me than my own one! You REALLY deserved it:)

A week before that I got the honour to run the last leg of the winning club relay during Polish Club Champs. The whole job was done on the first 6 legs and I just had to collect all the controls. Done.

Last week I got the opportunity to join my first camp with the Polish National (elite) Team in Switzerland. The trainings were really nice and I had a lot of fun with the map in my hand. As far as the Saturday's World Cup middle distance race is concerned, I got to know where the leaders are and that I am extremely far from that point. Great and useful experience!


As you see from the beginning of my post, I succeeded in getting some good results lately - even if my shape was awful. But...
- Is the whole fun only in the results you achieve?
- Isn't it actually the passion that make you happy?
- Do you prefer having tremendous numbers of medals or enjoying your everyday training and lifestyle?

The answers seem to be quite obvious. For me.

BACTI-STOP

Almost 2 years ago Wojtek Kowalski wrote about the worst prizes in 2009.
In August I took part in Hungaria Kupa 2011 in Morahalom. For winning this 5-day competition in M20 class I won...


Probably, it's not the worst prize, but the funniest one I've ever got;-)
Fortunately, it was not the only one. It was placed in an original Media Markt bag - full of Knorr seasonings and ready meals. Intriguing combination!

Now it's all about preparing for the Polish Champs in night orienteering and regaining the shape. We'll see how it works already on Thursday in Austria, where the Junior European Cup is going to be held.

CU in Grotniki tonight!

How to screw up a sprint distance?

I had known this gate perfectly before the competition - thanks to JWOC 2011 trainings. I had even talked with Olej several times, whether the map would be corrected or the gate would be closed during the competition.

None of them. (You silly boy, it's Poland...)

During the race it was very hard to see on the map, if this gate was crossable. What's more, the 10th control was situated just some 3m behind it and I was sure (judging from the map) it was placed exactly in this passage. I was wrong. I should have checked control descriptions first, but it doesn't really matter.

After the race I decided to go to the judges and admit my disqualification. I don't want to win like this. It's no fun at all. I only regret losing important points for my club. I am really sorry.

You say I should have been disqualified.
Of course, you are right. I ran through a forbidden area - I reply. And add - why was the map wrong in this area?
You say the map was right, the gate should have been closed and not crossable.
I answer - Why was the gate actually opened in the terrain? Judging from the map it should have been closed...
And what do you say right now?

That's how a wonderful sprint in a really demanding terrain was screwed up.

Long time no see!

I was so much into my duties that I couldn't find any time to publish some post here. What's more, there were no interesting competitions and my life was all about tough training and studying. Fortunately, all my exams are over right now and I am able to enjoy my 4th training camp this winter - this time in Szklarska Poręba.

My last post was published 30th Nowember. Since then a lot of important things happened in my sports life, including:
  • 1st training camp in Szklarska Poręba (4-12 XII) - for me it was some kind of a preration for the coming demanding winter training sessions. I had some problems with challenging trainings served by Kołczu, because my legs didn't work so well then due to being quite tired just after the beginning of my winter workouts...
  • 2nd training camp in Ochotnica Dolna (26 XII - 2 I) - at the beginning of this camp I had to struggle against horrible stomach flu, because I fell ill exactly on Christmas Eve. 4 days of my trainings were completely lost and another 2 spent on some useless jogging. Fortunately, I got over it and could enjoy the last 4 laborious days of this camp. Thanks to it, I came back feeling well and ready for the action!
  • the so-called Popular Orienteering Championships (8 I) - I took it as an easy technical training and used the map with no tracks. Moreover, I forgot to take my compass with me and had to come back to the start just after the first control, funny;)
  • GP of Łódź in cross-country running (9 I) - it was the 2nd edition of the competition described in the last note. The course length was about 5,13km and my time was 18:20. Unfortunately, the conditions were just awful, since the whole surface was covered with slippery ice. Furthermore, I had sore muscles and felt extremely tired after the hard week of strentgh trainings - a good performance was simply out of reach.
  • 3rd training camp in Istebna (15-23 I) - I am incredibly satisfied with this particular training camp! Finally, I got the opportunity to spend some time with my clubmates and managed to do all the training sessions as I had wished to - massive satisfaction!
  • technical training in Rydzyny with Azymut Pabianice (29 I) - I succeeded in setting 4 controls in the forest. As soon as I started running the course (in a form of Swiss game), I spotted that my compass was broken (there appeared some little air-cell inside it). I was so frustrated that I wasn't able to focus on the map. That's why my route choices looked like these...
  • GP of Łódź in cross-country running (30 I) - this time I felt much, much better than 3 weeks ago. The conditions were really good as well. Thanks to it, I managed to fight for the 3rd place with a much more satisfying time of 17:42 (only some 15 seconds behind the winner). However, I dare for more, much more;-)
  • technical training in Modrzew (5 I) - it was just a little part of a much longer running session. I didn't do my best to find all the controls, such as stones of about 30cm... I decided to concentrate on map reading, finding the right flow and choosing the best route choices. It was not that bad, but I just can't wait to face great orienteering challenges in Portugal at the beginning of March!
Now I am lying in my bed in Szklarska Poręba and I am taking some rest between my training sessions. It's really nice to have the opportunity to be completely focused on my running. I am sure these are the camps, which help me make enormous progress most!

My plans for the coming weeks:
- tough winter trainings in Szklarska until 20th February;
- the weekend of technical trainings in Żelazko (26-27 II);
- two weekends of orienteering competitions and some technical trainings between them, Portugal (3-13 III);
- cross-country competition in Ruda Pabianicka (20 III);
- Spring Cup in Denmark (25-27 III).

And then... we'll see;)

Quick catching up before JWOC!

I haven't written for a very long time, but now it's high time I fixed it;)


Polish Champs in Gdańsk

The sprint distance went pretty well for me. I managed to keep a really good speed throughout the race and gained the 2nd place (5secs behind Hewi). Analysing my route choices and splits, it turned out that I lost gold because of being too hesitant just after the 3rd control. However, I was very satisfied with my performance.

The middle distance wasn't as technical as it should be. Despite that fact, I didn't succeed in avoiding making mistakes. The worst one came while running to the 3rd control. I saw Drągu, who started 2mins ahead of me, got this weird feeling and misunderstood the contours completely. Eventually, I achieved the silver medal... 7secs behind... Hewi. I felt a little bit disappointed, but still very happy about my stable shape.
The most wonderful thing is the fact that on both days the podium looked the same: Hewi, me and Rino. Nevertheless, not only the people were the same, but also the time difference between the winner and bronze medalist - 21secs!

In relay we knew that it would be very difficult for us to reach the podium, but we never gave up! I ran the last leg in my team and started to the forest as the 6th runner. During the race I managed to catch Włodar (2'34) and Jacek Kowalczyk (5'16). Running with Włodar was a real pleasure, because the pace was very high and everything happened so quickly. At the very end I had a shorter forking and had the opportunity to gain some advantage over him. I managed, but he was incredibly fast before the finish and I lost the 4th by some 5 seconds. Respect!


Technical camp in Białogóra

The first two days were full of slow, easy running, because we were taking rest after the demanding PC weekend.

On Wednesday we ran a very interesting sprint in Gdynia (the map from EYOC 2002). The start interval was 15secs, what made this race much faster, I think. I took stupid route choice to the 7th control (too much climb) and lost some time close to the control, as well. Apart from that, I ran really well and lost 15secs to the winner - Rino.

On Thursday we had a really tiring long distance (12,65km). It consisted of 3 loops. The first 2 of them went pretty well, but the last one was a real disaster - due to my tiredness, all the scrapes on my feet and bent north lines on the map... Unfortunately, 2 controls were set in wrong places and I didn't find them. However, I lost some time while running around and looking for them everywhere. After all, my performance was quite satisfying;)


Kytäjä-Jukola 2010

On the ferry between Stockholm and Helsinki something really amazing happened. We took part in an orienteering competition!!! Just see the map and regret not having been there:)

On Saturday afternoon Olej and I decided to run a short technical training session to familiarize ourselves with the terrain and get to know what was waiting for us in the nearest future. Since that moment we had known that we were going to run in the most challenging terrain in our lives!

I wanted to run the 1st leg and I got the chance! The start was at 22:55 (Finnish time - sunset). Unfortunately, it was raining (what made the terrain even more difficult), but I felt really hot and excited inside. I stood in the 3rd row among 1534 other runners! The music at the start was really thrilling, I remember. And it all began...
The decisive moment was the forking before the long leg, where I lost touch with my group and had to run the very long leg with a much slower and technically worse tram. While heading to the finish, I thought I would take the 500th place. To my surprise, I was 102nd (a little less than 12mins behind the leaders). All things considered, it was an average performance, but the experience was unbelievable!


Vestjysk 2-dages in Denmark

Only some time after a long plane (2 times) and car journey we were to run the sprint. The course was really long - 4km (my watch states that I ran 6,37km!). The terrain was very demanding physically because of numerous meters of climb. The map was a little bit imprecise. There was quite an interesting route choice to the 15th one. What would you choose? I lost more than a minute to the 17th control due to the fact that the map was not made in accordance with ISSOM.

The next day we competed in a very challenging long distance race - 10,4km. I made some mistakes (especially to the 22nd one...), but I must admit that the terrain was very tricky - full of green areas and winding contours. I was very happy about my result, since I managed to achieved the 3rd spot (behind some elite runners and ahead of my peers, with whom I'll fight in one week's time at JWOC).
Note: the map was made by the Poles: Lech Trzpil and Piotr Sierzputowski.

3 days ago we decided for a middle distance. That day I felt completely out of tune, probably due to my enormous headache the previous evening. That's why my only dream was to finish the course and take some rest. Fortunately, we got the opportunity to run in the dunes. The last part of the course was very greeeeen and running was almost impossible. To sum it up, that stay in Denmark was very useful before the coming JWOC competitions and my performance during the long distance made me believe in my abilities;-)


Now

Yesterday I decided to make some blood tests and got to know that my results are better than ever! What's more, I changed my hairstyle and am much lighter now;) Moreover, I passed my A-level exams even better than I had expected. It's not a place to boast about it, but I just can't help telling you that I got 99% in written Polish (basic level, of course) - I still can't believe it, haha! Furthermore, I did 2 great physical training sessions yesterday and today, during which my legs were close to flying;)
It's all a very positive signal for the nearest future and in the future comes...


JWOC 2010 in Denmark

I am leaving at 22:10 to Świnoujście tonight and then, probably on Saturday, to Aalborg. I am going to run the long distance (6th July), middle distance qualification (8th July), hopefully middle A-final (9th July) and relay (10th July). I promise to do my best and fulfil my expectations!
All the appropriate information here.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR OUR WHOLE TEAM!

At last I can change my suit into tracksuit!

Today I finished taking my A-level exams;-)

I managed to pass all my oral exams with the following percentages:
Polish - 80%
English (basic) - 100%
English (extended) - 100%.

Judging from my answers, I hope to get the following percentages in the written ones:
Polish (basic) - ~75%
Maths (basic) - 100%
Maths (extended) - 100%
English (basic) - 100%
English (extended) - ~95%
Physics (extended) - ~50% ?!

All in all, I am very satisfied with my academic performance during the last two weeks. Fortunately, I do NOT have to bother any more and can completely devote myself to orienteering.

As soon as in some hours I am leaving for a very long sports camp. It is going to last about 17 days:
21.05. - some medical tests in Gdynia
22-24.05. - a 3-day competition in Germany (including 4 races; ultralong and sprint among them)
25-29.05. - a short technical stay in Denmark in order to get ready for the coming JWOC
30.05.-4.06. - physical camp in Szklarska Poręba with Pasza
5-6.06. - a 2-day competition in Czech Republic.

I do hope to improve my physical, technical and mental(!) shape there:)

JWOC 2011...

Friday, August 21, 2009

AMAZING RELAY!

I know that relay competitions are very interesting and gripping all the time, but I could not have expected such emotions! And there was not only one reason...

Firstly, a dream race of Wojtek Dwojak on the first leg coming 6th to the finish only some 20 seconds behind Dmitry Tsvetkov from Russia. Then, on the result list we could see that Wojtas was 5th because the Russian runner was disqualified! And the new leader was Pavel Gvozdev from... Israel! However, this DSQ turned out to be a mistake made by organisers' computers and the Russian runners were in the game again, fortunately;)
Then, some bad luck in the forest and a worse, longer forking for Banan and 14th place after 2nd leg.
Finally, the last deciding leg! I hope everyone knows now what happened in the forest. Martin Johansson from Sweden got injured and 3 runners stopped to help him. These heroes were Thierry Gueorgiou from France, Anders Nordberg from Norway and Michal Smola from the Czech Republic. They gave up fighting for the medals and saved Martin's life! I think the very whole world is proud of You! Matthias Merz, who was some minutes behind, didn't see them and went on to the finish. Having had a really brilliant race (the best time of all!), he secured the gold medal for Switzerland. However, they didn't actually want this title and I am not surprised at all. The next runners came to the finish afterwards and a real struggle for the 6th (diploma) place began! There were 5 challengers but only one of them could win. Kowal punched the last control as the second one and started a magnificent, incredibly fast and strong finish. When he was passing a large group of Polish supporters (me amongst them), we already knew he was going to win the race just some meters ahead of the rivals. Nevertheless, these 'some meters' were so important for us all!

CONGRATULATIONS POLAND!

Maps from last 5 days:)

As promised, below I publish the maps from Polish Champs and 2 technical trainings in Gdańsk & Sopot. Unfortunately, I hadn't expected that the maps from sprint and middle distance are not in the size of A4 paper sheet and the analysis is a bit cut... but I hope you'll manage;) I would also like to emphasize that the last training with almost the whole Morawski's family (without Jacek) was organized really professionally and it was a great pleasure for me to spend some time in this beautiful forest. Thank You for preparing a short sport camp for me! :-)







What's more, I noticed some regularity comparing my Polish Champs medals from this and previous year. That's what I mean:
2008 - sprint (3), middle (4), long (2);
2009 - sprint (2), middle (3), long (1).
Two facts that make me happy are that last year I took two silver medals in relay and ultralong. However, I was disappointingly 8th in night orienteering. I hope my place in this year's night orienteering PC would be the only exception from this fantastic rule!

Now the most important competition of this season is ahead of me -EYOC 2009 in Kopaonik, Serbia. Tomorrow I am leaving for Złoty Potok to take part in Wawel Cup 2009, then we are getting into a bus and heading for Serbia to take part in a short technical camp just before the championships. Once all the medals have been decided, I am going to Limanowa for the second part of our club's camp. I'll be back home at 10th July and ready to take some break and relax...

However, now it's high time to FIGHT!!!

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy and... busy

I hoped to write notes about Sweden, School Championships and VII Piotrkowska Street Race tonight but it's got a bit too late right now and I want to sleep a bit as I have to get up very early tomorrow (before 6 a.m.!). We are heading for the very south of Germany. I promise I will catch up with everything as soon as I come back :-)

7-manna - great performance of Polish Junior Team ;-)

We are in Sweden for 3 days now and yesterday our first competition took place. For my team it was a 7-person relay. The first 3 legs (me, Olej, Jacek) were held at night while the other 4 (Jasina, Hewi, Stefan, Rino) - during the day.
Our night trio made a really good start for our team, especially the very first leg. Already before the mass start I felt I was not going to compete well that day. I had been trying to get these thoughts out of my mind but I did not manage...
We started really fast and I did my best to keep up with the leaders. Unfortunately, I only succeeded in doing it to the first control, which was ridiculously easy. Then, at the second control a huge forking came and I lost contact with the map and leading group completely. I had found 2 or 3 other controls before actually finding mine. Having punched this control, I knew I would have to run the rest of the course alone and felt a bit confused and discouraged.
However, I had nothing else to do than run forward and reach the next controls as quickly as possible.
The 5th control was a really long leg and I felt a bit afraid of it whereas I am not good enough at choosing long route choices in Sweden. What's more, it was a night orienteering course! My pace was very miserable, although I managed to find this control after facing some minor difficulties.
On my way to the 10th control I already knew it would be very hard not to make any mistake... and I was pretty right. I pushed my pace a bit hoping to get out of this tricky area as fast as possible. While looking for this control I saw a whole pack or runners behind me including some 'M65s' and a black man. I felt so ashamed and wanted to finish my course right now! I lost about 4 minutes there...
At the 11th control I decided to take my revenge and be the man to follow towards it, but it was a poor consolation.
To the next control I made another mistake of some 3 minutes. I don't really want to describe it precisely, but I could not understand the map just before the control because there were so many rocks in the terrain!
To fulfil my yesterday's nightmare I made a 'M10'-mistake having enormous problems to find the control no. 100.
To sum it all up, I made an awful race losing almost 25 minutes to the winner, achieving the 60th position (of 73 competitors). Luckily, Olej wasn't much better and my mood got a bit better after his race. Eventually, we finished at 45th place.......


And now a special bonus for all of you!
Although I had a bad day at yesterday's competition, Kaszub made a race of his life at his today's 6th leg. I really wish he had run for my relay as he made only 11 minutes of mistakes and reach the time of 47:04 on the 5,4km course. We are very proud of him and hope he's gonna smash his opponents' asses at tomorrow long distance in Hassleholm. Keep your fingers crossed for him at 10:18! :-)

Reading comprehension

For questions 1-11 you must choose which of the titles A-L best fits into the numbered gaps in the following note. There is one extra title which you do not need to use.

1 ..........
As usual, yesterday there was a club training held in the Park of 3rd May and that's where the idea was born. Charubcia and Zielu suggested I should have written some reading tasks for you and what you are looking at now is a kind of a first try!

2 ..........
Actually, the main subject of this note was supposed to be the winter camp in Borowice with our provincial team and the invaluable coach called Kołcz. And surely it will be, but I am also going to devote some of my precious time to tell yu something about my magnificent basketball performance yesterday.

3 ..........
The winter school holidays tend to last 16 days and that's the equal time I spent out of Łódź on a wonderful sports camp. I ran almost 263km there. We had 2-3 training sessions every day. Unfortunately, we had to wake up even before 7:45 to enjoy a short morning run.

4 ..........
Our trainings were really sophisticated and I liked it very much! Morning runs, technical trainings, lots of speed-ups and uphill running, running trips of middle length, skiing, gym, playing football, sauna, stretching.......

5 ..........
However, trainings did not take our whole time, so we had to find some funny things to do in our free time. Table tennis was one of the solutions and we played really a lot. I even did manage to beat Kaszub the master! Luckily, there was a small hill near our 'hotel' and we made the most of it. Sledging was a great fun, but not enough for us since we decided to build a special hop of snow to hurt our buttocks a bit. ;P

6 ..........
There was one thing that discourages us from coming to the same place next year. Guess what! Eating... It was getting more and more horrible and we were given less and less each and every day, or to be more accurate - meal.

7 ..........
On the other hand, something special happened to me during our long stay in Polish mountains. I attained my majority and have been able to buy beer since February 5th, but I haven't taken any advantage of it yet ;-)

8 ..........
At about 7:25 I was suddenly woken up by a 'Happy birthday' song and got 18 painful whippings on my innocent ass! Moreover, I got lots of lovely gifts. To these belong a piece of wood with 'DLA PODZIA NA 18' engraved on it, a beautiful creature ;-D, a funny poem, raspberry jam, teddy bear, penknife, useful maps, lots of wafers and so on.

9 ..........
To sum it all up, I enjoyed brilliant winter holidays and am already looking forward to the next journey (that comes in 6 days!). I am certain it is going to be even more marvellous (in some aspects) and I'll gain a lot of helpful experience there.

10 ..........
As promised, now I would like to express my enormous happiness caused by the yesterday's basketball match against the III Secondary School. The score was 84-75 for our school. I played all of the 4 quarters and scored 29 points, which was an even better result than our supersniper Kania achieved!

11 ..........
As for the answers to the reading quiz, I would like the volunteers to send them to me using script 'mail me' on the right side of the page. The deadline for entries is the midnight between Sunday and Monday. There is no need to be the first one since all of you who'll guess the correct answers will receive my handshake and a Chupa Chups lollipop of a preferred flavour!

A - Accept no boredom!
B - Have a go!
C - It ain't easy, is it? :-)
D - Stomach tortures :[
E - Huge expectations
F - Coke, apple or strawberry? ;)
G - The numbers...
H - An ass devotion just for fun ;-)
I - 'Envy me, cause I am a new MVP!'
J - Did I really deserve it all?! :)
K - Coming of age
L - Introduction to the main body
