Monday, March 31, 2003 Slowly weaving through the woodsI downloaded a video of the Ronneby relay race from Sweden and watched it this evening. With my recent interest in O' running technique, I paid attention to how people ran. I didn't look for anything specific; I just watched to get an impression.My first impression was that orienteers look like they are going slowly and not working very hard. I know that isn't true. I know orienteers work hard and are going fast given the terrain. I also know that orienteering always looks slower on video. The next thing I noticed was how much variety an orienteer faces. In a short stretch, an orienteer might pump their arms and lift their knees as they push up a small knoll, taking a few jogging steps as they carefully study the map, hop down from a bit of rock, leap over a fallen tree, duck under a branch, then weave through thick trees. I'm not sure I can describe it, but some of the better orienteers looked much more fluid as they ran through the woods. Watching people like Yuri Omelchenko, Niklas Bratt and Kent Olsson leaves the impression that they are very comfortable in the forest (Omelchenko makes a nice boom in front of the camera which is interesting to watch). If you've got a broadband connection and are bored, I can recommend the video. It runs about 25 minutes and does a decent job of showing the race. If you can understand Swedish (with a strong Southern Swedish accent) it'll be a lot more interesting. You can download the file (a 59 mb .wmv file) here. posted by Michael | 8:37 PM

Cycling Through France from La Manche to the Mediterranean Edward Enfield ... Walking is too slow, and you don't see enough in a day; a car is too fast, and you ... bowling past cornfields, gliding beside rivers, and weaving through woods.
