Training Log Archive: Rooey1

spent the last couple of days training with the british squad in gothenburg. found the terrain more easier than oringen coz there is more hills and contours to navigate by, oringen was more flat and compass was needed more. was a great experience.

C • looks like you had fun 3

C • Training 2

classic training. partille-gunnilse. map to the north of the classic jwoc map.
came off line at number 2 but found the control fine, and number 7 i went swimming! thort it looked like solid groud but was a pond thing, couldnt touch the bottom and just managed to keep my head out, smelt soo bad after. was a good session.
saw a bus of 60 czech juniors training on the map.

classic training. getryggen.
broke the course up into 4 loops so we could stop, refocus and think about what went wrong and what worked well. had a bit of trouble on one of the easiest controls was too far right, got really frustrated.

race. didnt pre-enter so i had to do an enter on day couse. came off the track too late at number 1 and wasted maybe a minute, number 3 i saw john john and it somehow made me stop and think i was in the right spot, cause the marsh was the same shape as where i was meant to be, stopped way too early (lost concentration). 7 i ran straight past the control i saw it but it looked like it was on a different feature so i didnt go to it. 9 was poor exit direction. lots of fun and hard running.

classic training. rannebergen.
ran really well, spiked the 1st couple of controls inc the long leg, number 4 i had poor exit direction, and 5 i was inline but then came off going into the control. enjoyed it alot, also tried to chose the terrain options rather than the track cause i know i need to improve running through the terrain, the terrain was faster a couple of times.

did short orienteering course around the club hut. was ok, fell over in a massive line on nettles, stung my face off! lost contact and came off line on number 4.

torslanda-lilleby. scots training. next to the seaside.
very physical, navigated pretty well, stopped early on number 4 cause i found a rock wall not on the map and 5 was in the wrong spot, spent a while looking for it, also have to watch exit direction.
apparently one of the hardest physical maps in sweden.

feel like cold is coming back :(
