| Event: WOC 2008
|
| Orienteering 1:20:00 [1] | |
| |
| Reran on the long map for swedish trials. started running trying to read the map more and pick everything up and be more accurate in the circle. then reran some stuff and walked home really analyzing everything trying to predict the most visible terrain feature. Can do it slowly but still pretty scared about running and reading the map at the same time...let alone racing. Need to work on my confidence in the next few days. |

| Orienteering 50:00 [4] | |
| |
| Orienteering intervals 5 to 10 minutes. back at the swedish model map. so much better this time...but map not really up to day and a lot easier running than the other maps.
5 min walk from our accomodation is the largest supermarket I have ever been in. Most of our recreation time is spent wondering the isles trying to escape and waiting for ross and maja to get out. |

| Orienteering 1:40:00 [2] | |
| |
| jogging-walking and some running around the middle trail map again. Put out a few controls for Julian and realised that at an amazingly slow pace it the map does make sense and it isnt bingo at all. but it seems quite impossible to do any of this at speed. Later on I started to get into the flow a bit more and ended up getting to grips with it a speed too....before a completely bingo control, that I went back and tried walking approaches from different attack points. still wasn§t happy with it. Hopefully they don§t use anything like that at woc because the rest of the course seemed very reasonable.
Rest of the kiwis arrived this afternoon and our coach-manager Jim russell aka Jimbo from aussie. good to catch up with thom and hear of the good times in sweden. |
