Sixteen sisters are ready!

Next Saturday it's time again to run the greatest and most exciting o-event in the world, Jukola-relay. Yippee:) This year our Venlas have a different kind of situation to start as we're the defending champions. But I assure you we won't give victory away too easily as we've got 4x4 ladies ready to beat everyone else.

In the first team, we've got the same babes, Hannele Valkonen, Sirkka-Liisa Huusari, Kirsi Vanhalakka and me. The two girls in the middle changed places from last year but I'll still put the finishing touches. Well, suits me and actually the terrain should suit all of us as Asikkala, like Tampere, is also situated in Häme county.

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to take a short visit to Tampere woods and on Thursday I'll compete in Forssa Games. In the middle I'll just have to rest well as I want to be able to beat the same bushes in Jukola which were still beating me up last weekend in Huippuliiga. The map with routes can be found in here, by the way. And yes, my GPS-route is always so nice and curvy...have to do something about that :O(

Yesterday, I ran also this Middle-Finland Cup -race and it became my longest ”competition” this season. I spent a lot of time (over an hour) in Kangashäkki as I was a bit lost again. Well, the map maker could have made the map a bit more precisely near the fourth control... Still, I got finally my long o-training with medium high speed and it was otherwice really nice. The map can be found (partly) in the link below.

Today I'm gonna take it easy, watch the Sex and the city -movie and see some friends. See ya all in Tampere-Jukola and lets hope for a sunny weather!
