Training Log Archive: Danish Dynamite

The race went pretty good other then a few good size mistakes I made. One was primarily because I tried to take a compass bearing without my compass because I had taken it off when my thumb started to freeze. I also never really got use to the 5000 scale map throughout the race. Also the deep snow slowed me down a lot because I often chose the off-trail route. However at some moments I did feel confident with my navigation using contours.

The run was good with lots of hills and good sights along the way. My knees were only a bit sore, so I felt pretty good running/snowshoeing today.

The nav wasn't to complex last night, it was good training for sprints and planning ahead though. Last night I didn't make any major mistakes, I just wasn't paying attention and just ran near a control but not getting it. However I didn't run to hard and my knees were sore running last night.

Two loops of following a line - the running wasn't too difficult but my knees were hurting and my nav was good, I was reading ahead but I need to work on simplifying the key features a bit and I kept missing checkpoints, and also I might need to remember a headlamp next week.
