okansas.blogspot.com Occassional thoughts about orienteering |
Tuesday, February 13, 2007 Eva Jurenikova's storyFanatic Okansas readers will know that I'm interested in orienteers' stories (see what I wrote last year for details). Eva Jurenikova put her story on her web page, take a look at the PDF version.The problem is that her story is in Swedish. So, I should give you a rough idea of what some of it says... On page 4, she writes about her first visit to Sweden (check out the map to see a good orienteer having a lot of trouble finding some controls). On page 5, she's having a lot of success, winning a JWOC relay and finishing 3rd in F18E at the Swedish 5-day. She also started working with the Czech national coach. On page 6, she started running for one of my former clubs, IFK Lidingo. She also decided to train without a coach. As an aside, I remember reading an interview with her that was published in Skogssport when she'd won a Swedish Junior Cup race. The main point that came across in the story was that she felt that the Swedish juniors didn't train enough. Jumping ahead to page 9, she wins 10-mila and gets a bronze medal in the Swedish Champs middle distance, but isn't having fun anymore. On page 10, she finishes 15th in the middle distance WOC in Finland, but isn't really having fun and decides to take a break from orienteering and takes up adventure racing. On page 14, after some years of adventure racing, she gets motivated to do a come back in orienteering. On page 17, she describes her plan for 2007: Better focus. Train more. Work less. Stay healthy. Finally, on page 18, she offers some tips: Don't compete too much. Get experience from different types of terrains. Learn to set good courses (especially true for women). Be independent, don't wait for someone to take care of you. Don't get comfortable. Interesting reading, it'd probably be a lot more interesting to have heard the presentation that went with the slides. If you don't have it in your bookmarks, you should add www.evajurenikova.com (nearly all of it is in English). Back to okansas.blogspot.com. posted by Michael | 8:42 PM
