The third round of the 2012 Ski-O World Cup round was held in north Kazakhstan, Shchuchinsk region. Most of the participants traveled together directly from Ukraine, by plane to Astana and bus up to the competition area. It was cool, that we all lived in the same building, so we were like a big family :) The most used common room was the hall in front of the event center where the internet connection was useable.

The Romanian ski-o championships for 2012 were held last weekend in the Semenic mountains, in the south-western part of Romania. It was the first time ever a ski-o race was in that region. I arrived home to my parents at 1:40 after the long trip home from Califonia and had to leave alreadz at 13 to travel to the championships. After last years disaster (misspunchned on both long and relay) I had some pressure, but I felt strong after all the good World Cup results.
