Training Log Archive: Jagge

With Minna and Tomi. Most of the time together, two legs with different route choices.

Map, routes, dot race

We had lead turns and only our own controls on our maps, so we had to figure out where each control were. Also we draw our routes on RG first before we uploaded GPS data and draw the whole course with controls. This is why some routes does not visit all controls.

On my way to #4 I got stuck in a slippery uphill (I had spikeless o-shoes) and when I finally managed to climb up, I dropped my map and wind blowed it 10 meters down and I had to climb the difficult spot down and up again. Also there was angry dog right after #3, it has to stop for a moment to make sure it won't attack me. I have once got biten by a dog during O training (15 years a go in Joensuu), it wasn't nice experience at all. This is my excuse why I was the last one to #4 ;]

Same O loop twice, both rounds as hard as possible. Aim was finding out how much time is lost/used for orienteering - second time you know the course and controls pretty well. There was no control flags and it made first round more difficult.

I recorded both rounds with GPS (Forerunner 205).
Map , routes, dot race
1st round: 22:33 Boomed finish.
2nd round: 21:57 I tried to improve my route choices, but only one of them was faster. I lost the path to #1

Both rounds: asthma trouble - speed wasn't good so there was plenty of time to read map. It made difficult to run an faster even if I knew well where I was going.
