Trainings in Finspång

After having a weeks long sleep in orienteering I couldn’t help turning back on track. To be honest I felt so empty without training, and I have to learn it year by year somewhere around this November time.

Next year’s 10Mila turns back to an area closer to Stockholm and in preparation to this we have spent a long weekend training camp in western-Sweden, around the city of Finspång.
The program was a night terrain introduction training on Friday evening, than a more serious chasing start on Saturday morning (10Mila simulation), than smaller loops in the night again, and on Sunday a long lower tempo orienteering.

I felt really comforable with the technique, especially in the last two trainings (the night and the long one). But on the other hand it's maybe also due to the fact that I have lost some speed in the previous three weeks.
The chasing start on Saturday went rather bad. After this small rest I wasn't ready for such a contest both phisically and in technique (f.ex. a two minutes mistake made to the second last control).
On the other hand I really felt good at the night training, I did 3 loops of altogether 7,8km. On Sunday I did a changing lead training on the 9km course with Magnus at medium pace (still his tempo on the wet rocky places was quite high for me). Technically it was really pleasant orienteering, I felt I began to feel more comforable to orienteer on swedish terrains.
I attach the maps in order from Saturday. (Friday's night was the same terrain as Sat. morning but on 1:15000)







Att skriva lite på svenska: Jag kan säga har har lärt mig mer och mer från språket och försöka använda det så mycket som möjligt. Men där finns så mycket kvar att lära. Det bästa sätt för mig är att läsa Skogssport, monadstidningen om svenska orienteringen.
Det är bara synd att jag ska stanna här för så kort tid och i januari jag måste flytta hem mest för studierna. (Sluta min Bsc.) Jag verkligen tänker på att komma tillbaks för att det är så roligt här.
Om två veckor ska vi åka till Strömstad och Halden för ett annat läger med längre träningar och nya utmaningar.
