Note
The new
WinSplits has finally been released!
First, a disclaimer: since I have done most of the translation of WinSplits into English, I am definitely not an unbiased or impartial observer. Nevertheless, having tested and played with WinSplits Pro at home for the last couple of months, I think it's totally awesome and is the perfect toy for the orienteering nerd. Try out the trial version and see what you think!

Running the backbana with Kat, mostly right behind her, telling her where to turn. She did well, looking especially fast on the downhills and pretty strong on the uphills, too.

Tonight's training was a whole-club relay, meant for people to get to know each other a bit, promote club spirit, and have a bit of fun in the process. Each team consisted of 1 H21, 1 D21/H45/H18, 1 D18/H14/DH55, and 1 beginner (usually HD10). People were divided into these categories, and then teams were picked by lottery. There were 14 teams in all. And then the relay was run. The leg order was set up such that each category got sufficient rest, and H21's ran 5 legs, D21's 4, and so on. The final leg was run by the whole team together, with the youngest member doing the navigation. It was a lot of fun, and it was nice to see most of the club's top runners turn up for this and actually take it seriously - run hard for their teams. My team consisted of Mari Troeng, Filip Axelsson-Meyerson, a small girl named Vanja, and myself actually managed to win.
Leg times: 3:38, 4:17, 4:02, 2:37, 4:20.
