Scott Fraser and Helena Jansson won Day 3 of Portugal O-Meeting on a day where not all of the top runners gave their best. In second spot Fabian Hertner and Simone Niggli. The Portuguese where very happy with 8th place for Portuguese Diogo Miguel on homeground.
Daniel Hubmann mispunched on the 19th control at yesterday’s WRE race – and took it easy at Day 3, finishing 11th (read more at Hubmann’s webpage).
The terrain itself was very very fast, as on every competition day
Gernot Kerschbaumer’s (English language) and Anders Nordberg’s (Norwegian language) reports from Portugal O-meeting are also worth a read. Here is what Kerschbaumer has to tell about the WRE-event on Sunday:
- – With about 250 starters in men elite, we saw a very strong participant field, with reverse starting order from current WRE-standing and 1 minute start interval (with butterfly) making it very exciting. I really focused on this competition during POM (as maybe most of the runners) and could perform quite well. Just on the first and fourth leg I could have taken more time to find a better route through the forest. I managed to stay focused through the whole course and could select the most important features from the detailed map. The terrain itself was very very fast, as on every competition day.
