Event: JWOC 2006

Orienteering (JWOC long model) 1:00:00 [3] 8.0 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR

Wsn't ideal for the juniors to do a lot today with the sprint tomorrow so i ran all over the model map so I could fill them in on any important details. Visited all the controls and made a few excursions into marsh, green and to some special features to see what they were like. Team is going great and really looking forward to the start of the races.

Note

As opposed to Finland i look at the coffee prices here in Lithuania and think 'shit thats cheap' and then realise that one australian dollar equals two litas so it is REALLY cheap. They can't make cappucinos or flat whites to save themselves but the espresso is pretty good (expresso according to the locals).

Warm up for Relay training, ran in the forest to check controls were out.

Orienteering (Relay training) 1:15:00 [4] *** 10.0 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR

Oragnised a mass start relay training with the kiwis and hong kongers. Had about 20 for the mass start and splitting right around the course. The relay terrain in super fun and super fast the kiwis should feel right at home in the open fast sand dune terrain and our juniors handled it really well too. After race ran around with Rob to pick up the extra controls and to pick up the straggler hong kongers (we didn't find any but their manager was missing for 20 minutes after we got back!) Perfect training for the relay!

Running 20:19 [2] 4.0 km (5:05 / km)
ahr:124 max:136 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR

Day of the JWOC practice race on the map next to the middle distance area. I was practicing my role of coach at the start of the race today so wouldn't get to race. The race was super tough, very technical and very tought forest. Was a bit of a shock for most but Hanny was outstanding, winning by 6-7 minutes from the best lithuanian girl and Toph performed really well to set a competitive time. Jas came through her fitness test well and is looking all sort for her JWOC campaign minus the long race.
