Training Log Archive: Sarah

Teisko. 1:15 000. Long distance relevant.
Beautiful forest! Described as the most technical of all the training areas.
Started shadowing Carl but lost him in some green going to the 3rd control. Continued and found Christie, with her a few controls, before waiting for Carl. He didn't appear (Had made his way back to the car) so continued on my own.
More runnable than yesterday. Light green is tricky. Some problems in the circle for everyone - a common problem on 1:15 I guess.
I was thinking back 10 years to 1:15 maps overseas. I've come a long way :-)

From the car to start and then back after training

Hirvikangas - map adjacent to middle area.
Line walk with Carl and Christie. Checking out the marshes, contours, rock features etc. Mosquitoes were horrible - couldn't stand still without clouds of them moving in.

A course with fairly short legs and a few longer ones towards the end. Shadowed Carl for the first half and last bit and with Christie for a bit in the middle. Both coping well.
The white certainly isn't fast and visibility in light green was low so pretty tricky. Rock features are very obvious and bare rock seems pretty distinct. Seems it's possible to run through marshes without too much trouble. The water channels are a bit tricky to negotiate (quite deep) so you have to find a narrow part and leap.

Sprint training - Pipsala. Area boarders on JWOC sprint area.
Picked up our maps at the orienteering shop (oh the excitement). Went for a jog / walk around and then planned 5x 400-800m intervals for Carl and Christie avoiding any major climbs. Some interesting route choices with stairs vs no stairs. Also rather variable white forest - don't really want to leave the paths in some sections.
My legs were feeling useless but had fun testing some route choices.

Bushveld event at Stirrup Glen.
Really enjoyed my run. No major mistakes. Off to Finland tonight to coach at JWOC.
