Doping and cheating...nope, not today
On the flight to Ohio I read an article about doping in track and field. It inspired more thinking about doping in orienteering. Not just doping, but cheating in general.
It'd be something to write about. But, I don't have time tonight.
Instead, I took a look at an interview with France's world champ, Thierry Gueorgiou. The problem is I don't know French. So I plugged the web page in Google's translate tool and read the resulting interview.
Here is a bit of the English version:
How do you make to be with 100% concentrate on all the races and to keep the motivation for gains with each time you courres?
- the key is hidden, I think, in the way in which I approach the races. I do not seek the victory but rather to answer the problems arising from the chart, the layout or the ground. I am always concentrated on the manner, rather than on the result.
I think I understand what he's saying. He's telling you he thinks about the process of orienteering rather than the result. In general that is good advice, as long as you can master the process.
