Some Swedish O' Snapshots
I took a few O' photos in Sweden.
In this one, I left the shutter open for a long time in the hopes of getting a blur to make it look like I was running fast. It worked out pretty well, I thought.
Training at Lunsen is a bit different. The orienteering is really tricky. It is easy to lose contact and hard to get it back. While I was following Magnus, he lost contact and made a parallel error. I pulled out my camera and got a snapshot that is probably a typical view of an orienteer at Lunsen -- standing still and looking at the map.
Magnus got a chance to watch me boom a control soon afterwards. And, he borrowed my camera while I was trying to relocate.
When you've got map contact, running at Lunsen is really sweet. Check out the beautiful terrain.
