Shadowed Zach around an orange course. Personally I think he's ready for green.

I consider this to be my first official 3k. Sure I've run a few before but none of them were really legitimate. I was a little bit skeptical about running a time trial on a track during an orienteering training camp, however in the end I really enjoyed running in a group. Turns out Andrew, Keith and I are all about the same speed.

Andrew took off in the beginning and I think Keith was just behind me. I set the pace for the first 2.5 laps at the front of the second pack. At first it sounded like there was a mob behind me, but this slowly faded off. We passed a few of the quick starters. Around lap 3 Kieth passed me and I latched in behind him for the rest of the race. We slowly caught up to Andrew completing most of the second half of the race together. We hit the last two laps and Keith started to lay it down. I planned on making a move myself but wasn't able to challenge Keith. We finished the race one second apart. Andrew was soon to follow. Funnest time trial I've ever run.

Control taking exercise. The first and my favourite training of the whole weekend. I was second only to Ross, 3:50 behind. A few small things here and there but I had no mistakes over 30 seconds. I ran this as hard as I could. Might have shaved off 1:30 of mistakes and hesitations but no more then that.

Denmark training. As I am not going to Denmark I focused more on my orienteering. Simplifying and maintaining good speed, flowing through the controls.
