World Cup Sprint

The first races for the World Cup in Estonia were the sprints. Two races in one day. First the qualifier and then the finals. Although Mike didn't qualify for the finals he was only a half minute away from doing so and really enjoyed the race. The qualifier started in a town then moved into some fields and finished with some forest running. Forest sprints suits Mike quite well and if he is able to get some more speed before July he might consider running the sprint races at the World Championships in Denmark.

The sprint finals took place in downtown Tartu. Mike and Mike Smith enjoyed the afternoon by skipping the B final and resting the legs for the middle distance race. They had a table in a cafe right on the finish line.
