A different type of Classic for today: Thierry Gueorgiou’s “Night time trial” in Guardamar. As Gueorgiou put it back in 2010 when he set a new one minute PB: “Some orienteer likes to keep their best times on track; I prefer to chase my record in the forest”. Since then Gueorgiou pushed the PB down another 33 seconds in 2012 – and this year he repeated the new PB.
Gueorgiou tweeted: Still the same time on the N-course…

More from his message from 2010:
… When my watch showed 00:00, on the 1st January, I started my favorite orienteering course: The famous Night from Per Sterner, in Guardamar, Spain. I had been waiting my whole first week to have a rainy night to get a harder sand surface, but so far the weather has been excellent and therefore I had to use my 15 mm spikes to get a good grip on sand dunes. 17’05’’ later (3,8km), I was back from the forest and really satisfied with this good start for 2010
PS! We’ll be back with some real classics the next days:)
