Dinghai Bay Park set the stage for the 2nd stage of PWT December Tour. The courses were divided in three parts with a steep and stairy beginning, tricky middle part, and flat and fast ending. It was Czech runners Daniel Vandas and Jana Peterova, who scored the fastest times of the day. Both of them had quite a dominant performance over the others with clear win margins.

–“I’m really happy with my performance today! I knew I had a chance against Yannick in this kind of terrain. I enjoy uphill running combined with technical orienteering, which was exactly what today’s competition offered. I felt good and managed to find a good flow throughout the whole race. I also had enough power in the last flat part of the course for a final push”, commented men’s winner Daniel Vandas.

–“It was a very challenging sprint course with a combination of the Dinghai Greenway, parks, and a very steep forest. It was essential to control my running speed to avoid missing the detailed park terrain on the map and find the best route choices”, said women’s 4th Tsz Ying Yu.

The first stage of the PWT December Tour took place in San Mao Cultural Village in Zhoushan. It was varying courses which demanded both fast running and accurate navigation between different sections.

In the women, Jana Peterova (CZE) was way ahead of anyone else. Lone Brochmann (NOR) was as clear runner-up, before Oleksandra Parkhomenko (UKR) and Leung Ka Ki (HKG) who shared the third place.

In the men, it was tight fight between Yannick Michiels (BEL) and Daniel Vandas (CZE), who in the end had only 13 seconds between them. It seemed they were running quite equally through the race but a mistake in the latter part by Daniel made the final difference. Jonas Hubacek (CZE) rounded up the Top 3.

1. Jana Peterova (CZE) 17.01
2. Lone Brochmann (NOR) 18.44
3. Oleksandra Parkhomenko (UKR) 20.23
3. Leung Ka Ki (HKG) 20.23

1. Yannick Michiels (BEL) 15.45
2. Daniel Vandas (CZE) 15.58
3. Jonas Hubacek (CZE) 16.15

-“Today we ran the first PWT race in a very nice small San Mao village. I enjoyed the course, because it wasn’t technically hard but also it wasn’t too easy, so I would say cool sprint for the first race of this December’s PWT. I also liked todays weather because the sun was shining and temperature was perfect for me for running a sprint. I didn’t manage to stay “in the map” all the race, I was sometimes behind, so my race was not so fluent as I’d like, and I also took some worse routechoices I guess. On the other hand I didn’t do any bigger mistake or bigger hesitation, so I cannot be unsatisfied. I definitely look forward to race again tomorrow, I am curious how I can handle the hills which are expected in tomorrows race.”, commented Peterova after her dominant performance.

–“Due to the many controls and short legs I struggled to get into a smooth flow. There was not much time to prepare the few longer legs and I felt I was always a bit behind with my orienteering. The course and terrain was very varied and I was anyway happy to take the win today!”, said Michiels after his winning race.
