Training Log Archive: tnipen

Night-O in Dæliskogen, organized by Tyrving. 3 loops with ~8 controls each. Mathias and Louise there too. Ran decently. No major mistakes, but a few bad bearings. Did run the wrong way out of #1 on loop 3 when I read the course wrong.

C • O trivia 1

Warm up down, and set out 4 controls.

Almost everyday I have wondered what it would be like to orienteer behind the skihill across the fjord that I can see from the living room. Took the ferry with Louise out to the peninsula on the other side of the Oslo fjord. Found a map from O-festivalen 2011. Panoramic view of Oslo. Silk terrain with almost no snow.

Could not resist the 8 degrees and sunny weather, so took the train to Nøkkelvann and reran one of my favourite courses from last year: Map. Almost no snow in the forest, except in narrow marshy valleys. Had to bail at #7 as it started getting dark.

Compared to last time: 1) 8s faster 2) 7s slower, ran this one poorly this time too (below the west line of cliffs) 3) 1:31 slower (too far east) 4) 17s faster 5) 1:05 slower (tested running more straight, instead of going to the road) 6) 3s faster 7) 50s slower (didn't push as hard).

Warm up/down from Bogerud metro station.
