Event: JWOC 2010 Aalborg DENMARK
 

Short run around the Model map for the JWOC Sprint event.

Did the sprint training that the Juniors did earlier this week. Warm conditions, not too technical, but a nice workout.

Easy run around the Model event for the Long and Middle distance.

Team went down to Rold Norreskov which is a Relay training area more or less next door to the Relay Champs area. Very enjoyable. Lovely contour detail and forest which is pretty white and runnable. Set the boys off together and then the girls to give them a bit of head-2-head racing. Alex and I chased them down. 3 seperate intervals of 6, 6 and 7 controls for the guys (med, long, med) and 6, 6, 4 for the girls (med, long, short). Good performances all round which is quite encouraging.

My splits: 8:47, 17:41, 12:04.

TE 3.7, Epoc 143, 476 kcal.

Rest day - trip down to Legoland.

Short course on a 1:15 long distance map. Very green once again, resulting in slow speed and quite a bit of bending over / bundu-bashing / circling / relocating / etc. Not such a great map at the 1:15 scale, too much detail. I didn't do much work, following and watching the guys most of the time.

After this morning's slow training, I decided we needed to get the juniors moving a bit. We did group starts, so that the guys were essentially racing head to head around a 3km course. It definitely worked in picking up the pace and getting them focused on the orienteering.

Map was 1:10', which was much more enjoyable. Started with 4 controls in open dune grassland before entering the green areas with a good network of paths.

Alex and I started last and ran the juniors down one by one. Caught Brad last. I didn't feel too great great, so my time for this distance was a big suprise. Also can't believe my HR was that high, felt like I was quite sluggish. Felt good in the end though.

Rest day tomorrow. Plan is to head off to Legoland.

Rest day for me. Made the juniors do a Sprint course around the Army barracks where we are based. Technically easy, but a good leg stretcher given that most of them are now suffering from the soft sandy conditions. I'll run the course in a few days time.

Have started uploading some of the training maps as well from the last week in Denmark.

Training on our first Relay type area. Lots of larger contour forms on large dune hills. Mostly broad-leaf, so quite a bit different from what we were running on recently.

No HR data.
