Saturday, April 09, 2005 Where is Rostrup?The Norwegian's are having World Cup selection races. I went over and looked at the results. I didn't see Rostrup's name. That seemed strange. What's up with Rostrup? I checked his web page and found out.The more you train something, the better you'll be. That's especially true for orienteering. If you want to do well in a race, you need to prepare yourself so that you've got the best chance to get a good result. That's what I believe. I've always had just a few goals that I prepare myself for. The chance of failing might be larger if you only focus on 2-4 races a year, but that is what I do.... Running the World Cup this year has never been important for me. I'm aiming for the Nordic Champs and the World Champs. It turns out Rostrup and Anders Nordberg are skipping the World Cup selection races and training for the Nordic Champs. Nordberg wrote: The reason I'm not running the selection races in Sandnes [i.e. the World Cup test race] is that I won't run the first round of the World Cup in England in the beginning of May. I'll be using the time in May for training and preparation for the Nordic Champs... My plan this year is to travel a little less and run fewer important races. Last year I ran a lot of races and it took a lot, both physically and mentally. I found it especially tough mentally to be trying to reach top form for the next important race, and in the fall of last year I'd had enough. So it took a long time to get my motivation back and to do high quality training, and that is something I'm trying to avoid this season. posted by Michael | 8:21 PM
