Decided to run while Marius biked so that I could make this into a "long training." I felt soooo good on the long downhill during the cool down :)

Orienteering training with Wonn the Oslo sport school. Pretty sweet to have os many great orienteers to train with!

I did the last four intervals of the training and worked on navigating at one steady pace. I still need to have my navigation catch up a little bit but this run was much better than the past two I have had :)

Goal:
-Orienteer smoothly and do a good job keeping track of where I am

Did Well:
-Took fast running routes
-Used large features for navigating
-When in technical areas I had good handrails and end features to stay in contact without slowing down much
-Good job staying on the same contour level
-Running straight when that was the option I picked
-Catching myself before making a large mistake

Next time:
-Have a bit more contact with the map so that I can flow into the next control
-W/ more contact make sure to properly orient the map and stay in contact with which direction I am running (keep track - not catch up)
-Realize that visibility in forests is fairly poor when it comes to seeing other hills
