Event: 27th World Orienteering Championsship
 

another short run on the model area, with kathryn. swim in the creek below the lake after. nice sunny day, and the marshes are getting drier each time we go out... probably going to rain soon then.

training with Kathryn on Vassfjellet, doing part of the session set by chris forne. stuffed up a couple and re-did one. a few other mistakes that were a bit stupid. a bit frustrating, but I guess its good to have a few mistakes as a reminder of how hard it really is, and also about how preparing for a later afternoon race is a bit different to a mid morning one. stupid brain was definitely not concentrating!

short training on the model event. nice area with a good variety of controls. having big flags to find made it so much easier it felt like cheating! time to ease off now, although first race isn't till tuesday.

control picking. some flags out, but also just extra circles on the map. mostly good, but had a few wobbles in the lower visability stuff.

a course at Iladalen. nice. took lots of photos.

training at nordmarka. awesome terrain. a couple of loops at the top of the plateau then a long downhill section. had a bit of a compass fail on one, but everything else was fine. so much better than oringen terrain! fantastic area - some of the best terrain I've run on anywhere!

trek up the hill to the start and run back down the track.
