O-Mental: Homöostase

Zwei Zitate von zwei WM Teilnehmern (und meine Arbeit fürs Nationalkader) erinnern mich an den Begriff der Homöostase (Selbstregulation), die ich vor langer Zeit im Biologiestudium kennen gelernt habe. Dabei geht es um die Fähigkeit u.a. von Zellen, entsprechend dem inneren Bedarf und dem äusseren Millieu Kanäle zu öffnen oder eben zu schliessen.

I think everyone assumed I'd be nervous for my first WOC race, and pretty much everyone I saw yesterday and this morning tried to offer me advice. I figured it was easiest to just ignore them all and do my own thing - I know how to play this game; other people may be better at it, but I know what to do.

Now there has been time for thinking it all over. Main conclusion could sound like this: there might be some fundamental things missing in very base level of my O skills and it’s impossible to build stable technical performance on that kind of foundation. Cause it’s about stability and nothing else. Ironically, it has taken almost 6 years to become aware of things I knew from before. And being aware is what makes difference. I believe that good orienteering coach is one of “missing pieces” and I have started to put my puzzle together by getting one, cause I don’t have another 6 years to spent on trials.
