Final Weekend of Training

The Aucklanders are doing their final training sessions in NZ - mainly orienteering sessions. This last week has involved training on Telephone Track, White Line Beautiful Hills, and White Lightning is on the agenda for tomorrow. All of these a Woodhill maps so easily accessible.

The most important thing about these sessions on top of their physical benefit is the chance to tighten up all the loose connections in our orienteering without the pressure of racing. We have done a variety of exercises in different difficulty areas to work on many technical elements including control flow, long legs, map contact, and speed.

We are also making good use of the sand dunes that are so relevant to JWOC in Denmark. We have run in this terrain so much now that running over sand and pin needles feels like the road once did. And whats more doing this with a map never seemed so simple.

Great work all the ABOT squad!!!
