Nighthawk 15-16.08.2015, Asker, Norway

Last control,
some teams lost places just
 to slow down for punching - emit touch free
I want to mention the fact that every year is more fun and pleasure for me to run for Tume team! You may say, if there are strong runners, there will be definitely a good result. It is so, but still the race and a result depends on the overall atmosphere in team, how we all can cooperate. You must have will to run for the team, for your club! :) On the one hand the coach is responsible for everything that is happening, but there are things that he can not manage or control - those things happen on their own and is managed by the same athletes. I am delighted that we, club mates, come from so many countries and are joined in Tume club! This leads to friendship, unity and the willpower to run for the team! In this context, I want to say thank you to Sami for letting us stay in Sandvika apartment for 2 nights!

Yes, Tume ran well - 5th place! However, internally we felt that we could run in 3rd place. When I remember, what Antti said after the finish flow of emotions, I conclude, that there are things that must be adjusted - tactical action running together. Because, as I saw it myself at the finish, there was running 3rd, 4th place and then after some 100m (+ 22sek) Antti. This made think, that all these athletes should had met together in the woods? Why Antti was not closer? At the beginning there was a little bit frustration, because we all wanted 3rd palce, we were so close, we hoped for a dynamic battle at the finish. But after just one minute followed by a gratifying because all together we showed a high quality result.

TuMe team, some guys were running twice:
  1. Antti 3.rd
  2. Martins 4.th GPS
  3. Gleb 3.rd
  4. Esa 11.th GPS
  5. Yannick 6.th GPS
  6. Scott 5.th GPS
  7. Martins 4.th GPS
  8. Antti 5.th GPS +12:35min to first place and +0:27sek to 3rd place.
Thank you Juha for mental support! - Next time running in some relays with us ;)

Results. Results per leg.
