Warm up before the JWOC sprint. Warm up map was 1:1000 and inside the sports hall, so slightly different to the town we ran around in the race. I think I skimped on the warm up slightly, and my stitch in the race may have been from this.

21st place in the JWOC Sprint around Samokov. A very good race technically but I got a killer stitch at the 8th control which stuck around until just before the spectator pass-through. Annoying because it dropped my running speed right down and there were just seconds between people in the finish. The first section around the Soviet apartment blocks was quite easy but I still don't feel like I was absolutely smashing the pace. Then once the course entered the town centre my stitch disappeared and I was able to run at a speed I was happy with. Unfortunately this was the section with the slippery stones and grass, so I fell over punching one control and broke the control punching the finish. Looking forward to the real orienteering tomorrow in the forest.

A bit of a late warm down but it was pouring with rain and I didn't want to get too wet and cold.

Sprint - Men - Splits

Event: JWOC 2014 - Borovets, BULGARIA
 

Jogged on the model map but it mostly turned into walking as we were ripping into the atrocious mapping. Why can they not get actual mappers in to Bulgaria. Its not that hard.

Warn up and down around sprint training on Sprint Model.

Cruised the middle distance simulation cos my cold is not fully better yet. Absolutely smashed the navigation which is a good sign. Not a metre mistake.

Felt pretty sick today so just rested and missed the long simulation.
