Las Fallas 2009

Las Fallas are a Valencian traditional celebration in praise of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Falles refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration.

This celebration is really impressive, espacially the parade of costumed women and the process of burning the statues. Every day during the fallas there are fireworks(at night)  and Mascletàs(at 2 in the afternoon), which is really loud. More information about this celebration you can find here. 

My first competition in Spain - Sevilla

I just joined with Universidad de Valencia orienteering club. In Estonia I run, but not too often, it is more just a hobby what I do max 5 times a year.

Here, in Spain, I will be competing in Elite class. Yeah, almost professional level :)

So, my first competition. It was WRE (World Ranking Event), so people who were there were in really good level!


My first race I felt that my physical conditions are not good at all! In Estonia I didn't do sports too regularly. And in Estonia the highest point is 318 meters, here in one race the difference between lowest and highest point is averagely 300 meters. My first thoughts were - I should not run in Elite class :)

But after the second day, I started feeling better. My result didn't count, because I had forgotten to take on point, but at least I started feeling, that I have so much to improve.
