It&#8217;s warm with a very slight breeze. Ideal. We probably look homeless as usual as I am sleeping under my down jacket and we are surrounded by super market bags from out hasty purchasing this morning. We were quire unorganised and managed to get a lift with one of the organisers at 7:30 to the start line this morning. We don&#8217;t start until about 12:30 so it has given us plenty of time to laze.<\/p>\n<p>Due to an entry mishap we are all entered in the elite grade. As you well know, I am an elite orienteer so this doesn&#8217;t phase me in the slightest. With a number of New Zealand titles to my name and some pretty good results in world ranking events I&#8217;m looking forward to some good racing. As you may also know, the last two sentences were all lies&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/viewfromstage1snoozeoocupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"View from stage 1 snooze (OO cup, Slovenia) resize\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/viewfromstage1snoozeoocupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/papoattheoocupoocupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Papo at the OO cup (OO cup, Slovenia) resize\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/papoattheoocupoocupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afternoon update: The terrain was very difficult. I DNF&#8217;d after control 7 of many. We hitched a ride back to our camp ground with some friendly germans. After getting out of our stinky O gear we trekked down to the supermarket and swam in the Slovenian prices. We walked back with a quarter of a huge watermelon strapped to Chris&#8217; pack. Sadly half way back to camp the watermelon made a break and leaped from the top of the pack to land heavily on the footpath. After we cleaned up the resulting mess we had much less watermelon. Oh well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/mmmilikemelonsoo.cupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mmm I like melons (OO\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/mmmilikemelonsoo.cupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"133\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/melondisasteroo.cupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Melon disaster (OO\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/melondisasteroo.cupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"133\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are camping by a little stream.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/campsiteoo.cupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Camp site (OO\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/campsiteoo.cupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/dinnertimeoo.cupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dinner time (OO\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/dinnertimeoo.cupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/emandmelonoo.cupslovenia_resize.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Em and melon (OO\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/emandmelonoo.cupslovenia_resize-small.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[gmap lat=&#8217;45.945925&#8242; lon=&#8217;14.04741&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are snoozing in a little clearing near the forest at the start of the Slovenian OO cup.
