National season opening in Norway

Finally, this weekend the first competitions in the Norwegian cup, Venabu Open, will be held at Venabygdsfjellet. Saturday we will ski two sprint competitions, sunday a middle distance mass start. The competitions at Venabygdsfjellet have always been challenging, with both long route choices and areas with very high density of tracks. The map is the M21 middle distance course from the competitions at Venabygdsfjellet last year. The terrain is typical Norwegian mountain terrain, with big open marches and low birch wood. Unfortunately my preparations have not been the best. After returning from Finland I caught a cold once again. That was really not what I needed right now, but I feel better and will most likely ski all the competitions this weekend. We are both looking forward to a great ski-o weekend at Venabygdsfjellet.

Results will be published at the OTO web page.
More about the competitions can be found at Ski-o.com (in norwegian).
