CHALLENGE: (for anyone who care) Map terrain Competition!!!!!!

Post a North America map that is more detailed than this one / (just much fun):

C • Competition 2

Warm up there.

3x 2km loops @ long distance race pace

first one was 6:50 min/km
other two were 8:20 min/km

Happy with the first one. Seems like really slow terrain but perfect for making you super strong if you grow up training in it.

Had some hooks and small mistakes in the last loop.



FIrst loop was good. Second one messed up to 1 after gaoing around a cliff that wasn't marked impassible. The cliffs on the other side didn't quite make perfect sense so I thought that I was too far right and went left, hence mistake.

Third loop was a poop show... Got one more training tomorrow, hopefully I can link a few more clean legs together then in this one....

Warming up. Then cooling down. Also did 8x 30s sprints at the end on the road.

2x Mini Middle

1 (2.81km) - 7:06min/km -> perfect want to run WOC like this



2 (3.18km) - 10:12min/km -> mistakes in the little loop. Need to watch direction better and look for more obvious features coming out of controls

C • Isenbaktjern 1

Warm up and cool down included.

Control picking: 6.53km in 57:02min 8:44min/km

Not happy with the pace. Felt pretty tired, hopefully will feel better tomorrow after a really good sleep. Hills and lifting legs through blueberries was killing me. I understand why Magne Daehli an Kasper Fosser don't run sub 5min/km in this...



To 3 ran right over the hill, didn't really realize it was a hill it was so shallow and frawn with a 5m contour. I don't think kartapullatin would have picked it up like that, maybe a form line.

Bad direction starting to 4 and was still getting used to knolls, some are very vague. Relocated and came back, after that I was much more aware of all the other features.

To 7 was really close but it was such an indistinct feature, and I couldn't identify much in front of me, so I veered off to the left before seeing the reentrant and coming back.

Some of the cliffs are really big, the "passable" ones are like 3-4m tall sometimes, and the impassible ones are like 10-15m. Definitely no jumping. Sometimes they are also not on the map if they are 1-2m or not vertical enough..

C • Norway 1

Jogging to start and back to house.

Line-O that was meh in terms of my performance. Not much to read in some places on the line.

Did the start, and one of the accelerations loops. Felt completely out of energy every time I went up a hill, and noticed that I was at 7km on the next one so I figured I'll just bail because I didn't want to clock 25km or more in one day.

Need to get alot of sleep tonight I feel really tired, legs feel good just need like 10 hrs of sleep.

Had 7min or rest between loops that I subracted out.
Paces for loops were: 7:57 and 8:23. Going to try and do shorter stuff n the next few days and pick up the pace as much as possible.

So nice course and terrain, but because i didn't have my right shoes I couldn't really run cuz i couldn't see where I was putting my feet through the blueberries, then once it got dark I had to completely walk. Glad i finished...

Left leg hurt inside a bit in certain movements, not sure if just from flying... or what?

flying...

Pretty good training. Grass is a bit taller so couldn't go so fast because i couldn't see the ground. One mistake due to bad direction but no compass for the whole thing so I think its ok.

Psyched for Norway! We'll see how if my training paid off the past year in a week at Norsk-O Festivalen!!!!

Survived finals.... back to running last 2 weeks before JWOC !!!!!
