Working for sports and forests

Mtbo World Champoionships. I can say that past ten years it has been my "yearly climax", something special that I am waiting a lot. First World Champs for me were in Denmark at 2009. Each year it have been bit different; different places, weather and so on. But the atmosphere has been the same. I feel it is very welcoming atmosphere. That´s one of the main reasons I love to took part for this event each and every year.

But it´s never 100% sure that you´ve got a place in a team. You´ve got to work for it! Last years I´ve been adapting to my new role in our team. I couldn´t manage the though courses with all that orienteering even in mentally anymore. It really is my past  .

This current job is full of responsibilty. When we´re working together with my "Super advisor" (can bee seen in picture above text), this all feel hardly even a job. It´s just so much fun that it´s even impossible to explain for people who don´t experience that time with us. So, once again I´m very tired after this intensive trip, but once again, I am full with memories that keep me going on  !!!
