Jogging with Alexei in Harriman before our training session. We did some map exercises designed to warm up the mind before going out into the woods. They really seemed to help with the initial legs of the training course. I like the idea of warming up the mind as well as the body before training/ racing.

Ran a training course from the Russian Style Orienteering Camp in August. The terrain was great! It so much like Sweden. New Yorkers can never complain about not having good maps and terrain. Anyway, My legs felt a bit tired initially but warmed up to the pace and functioned well. I can feel my confidence rising with the higher frequency of map training (or map training at all) lately. Some very good tips from Alexei that I must address in my orienteeering development and improvement process.
