Saturday, November 20, 2010 Some training in the 1993 WOC terrainThe map is from some training I ran last weekend at Surebridge Mountain (the 1993 WOC classic terrain). For the two longer legs, my training was to plan the leg while stopped, then put away the map and run the leg. I like training that way. You're rewarded for seeing the overall terrain structure, keeping your head up and actively looking for features to lead you to the control. It is also a good way to make use of "model terrain" because it helps you see the big picture. I don't get to run this sort of training very often because most of the maps I train on are familiar. With familiar terrain this sort of practice doesn't work as well because you can get lazy (i.e. not seeing the terrain structure from the map, but seeing it from familiarity with the area).

Thursday, November 11, 2010 Technique training hours graph This graph caught my eye. It shows the hours of orienteering technique training by two of the WOC winners from this year. If you can understand Norwegian, the entire presentation is worth a look. You can find it at orienteer.no. Back to okansas.blogspot.com. posted by Michael | 7:09 AM
Sunday, November 07, 2010 Today's race at Tall Oaks I ran a local event at Tall Oaks today. The forest has a bit of underbrush and thorns which make route choices more interesting. The map has 2 meter contours, so the hills are smaller than you might think. Back to okansas.blogspot.com. posted by Michael | 5:30 PM
