MTB: Haanja marathon

It was a while back (19th of June, to be precise) but I haven't come around to writing about it. The most prominent feature of this race was a total ascent of 785 m which is aproximately twice as much as an ordinary Estonian MTB marathon. for example:

Race	TA
Haanja	785
Tallinn (Kõrve)	415
Mulgi	525

In terms of organization and track preparation everything was excellent. The track combined steep slopes and woodland with gravel roads giving anough oportunities to rest. There is nothing much else to say about the race as there were no specifically dangerous sections and anyway, I was too busy pedalling uphill to note anything :)
