Orienteering training (Sprint Training) 25:00 [4]
shoes: Adistar cusion
Sprint Training at Carrington in Auckland. We did some short chasing start sort of excercises (3 of them) where we were running the people in front down. Big trains ended up forming but i believed it helped me with the pressure of people being around me. Then we did a relay type excercise where me and Rachel started at the same time and then we had lots of different splits but the course generally went the same way. It was good practice but quite a few mistakes were made by me!!lol.
Overall good sprint training at Carrington.

Orienteering training (Forest/sand dunes practic) 35:00 [3]

Forest/Sand dunes training at Hobbit Woods. We parked on one of the roads and then ran to the part we were going to train on. was a decent warm up. We did a shortish exercise on the open sand dunes which was good but i found it so hard to look for obvious features and route choices. That map was 1:5000 which seems as though it would be a lot easier but i had quite a bit of difficulty.lol. After finishing that exercise we ran back to the Vehicles.

We then did a simplification exercise in the forest. Was really good and was orienteering really smoothly but then one small mistake at about control 5 and then i picked up and concentrated on the rest and did them pretty well. I actually bet scott on a leg.lol

We then did a team exercise in the forest with RAchel , Angela and me. We all lead a leg each abd then swapped around. Was really interesting to see how others orienteer and good to hear feedback on how we orieneteer. We took it pretty easy and concentrated on the oing a bit more. Overall good exercise.
