Minna Kauppi (Finland) and Gustav Bergman (Sweden) took the victories in the long distance race in the sand dunes in Portugal at the first day of Porgual O-Meeting 2015.
Bergman was 90 seconds faster than Frederic Tranchand (France) with Baptiste Rollier (Switzerland) in third.
– It was a demanding race, both physically and mentally, second placed Tranchand said after the race. – It was necessary to stay really concentrated during the whole race, because the elements seemed very similar everywhere. Because of that, I did a couple of mistakes around the 13th control and for the 22nd control. I’ve been training the whole week but I didn’t have anything to compare to today’s course, so physically I can’t say that I ran full speed the whole race but it was nice. For the rest of the Portugal O’ Meeting, I didn’t point any goals. It’s just the beginning of the season, it’s just training and regain some competition routines.
Minna Kauppi had 40 seconds down to British long distance specialist Catherine Taylor – with Sofia Haajanen (Finland) in third.
