USA Has arrived at JWOC - Attackpoint : Orienteering training, racing, running, navigation, and fitness

Jun 23, 2008 11:59 AM #

The first 4 USA JWOC team members have arrived safely in Sweden. They went out yesterday for a training run on a map similar to the middle event. The terrain is really fun and relatively runnable, although extremely easy to get lost. Also commented on the fact that the food was good so far.

GO USA!

All the coaches made it to Göteborg today. When Kat and I arrived, everyone except for Hunter was asleep, at 9pm or so.
Hopefully, we'll have more exciting news to report tomorrow. :)

Thank you Boris for letting me know that Sam arrived. I wasn't as concerned for you and Kat since you were in country. I hope that the group was tired from training and not from the time change but I'm thinking that it is probably a little of both.

As to where the US is staying they are staying in the Sport Hall for JWOC D accomondations and I think that is where they are for the training camp as well. At least that is what I was lead to believe, though there had been some discussion of them staying with the Canadians until our coaches arrived so I'm not really sure just where they are staying for now.

I've posted the JWOC blog address on the USOF site so if you have that bookmarked and forget the blog address (or where to find it) just go to the USOF home page (or Juniors page) and you can get there.
