Around Wrocław

How it is to train orienteering around Wrocław:

We organize Night Orienteering Fight. It will be five nights, sprint races in parks. Two are already behind us. I can see there many people which are separate from job or home TV, even small children (like my Antoni).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We went 1,5h by car to get to the orienteering map and during training we ran with almost white sheet of paper to train direction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This map is also close (1h by car), but I can’t believe how bad was map maker (from Poznan). I did about 15’ mistakes. Course looks nice, but sometimes was so far from the reality. I would be better to train there without a map, just do 700m uphill in 89’ and go back home.

I had also a funny training in my neighborhood without a map. I try to do force training in totally flat area. In effect I ran 67 times on 6-7 meters high river embankment. It was a 60’ middle speed training with target: don’t slow down on uphill running. Target sounds funny because it’s only about 10”, but I got tired.
