#Orienteering in the #Waldviertel. For me, 14 km with 260 m EG. I’ve gotten used to the tiny map scale, I now realize that it’s much harder to focus on the essentials when using detailed O maps. Several times I had to cover 1 km+ through hilly, swampy thickets, and the control was waiting for me at the right distance, just 10 m off my bearing! But in the swampy sections, I really didn’t feel like running. Post-race analysis, Waldviertel-style: “You’re a wimp”.
Orienteringen på #SVT behöver jobba på sin kartgrafik när det gäller stadssprint.
Came across an older #orienteering checkpoint from a school on my run. It seems to be “abandoned”. The marker to stamp your card to proof you have been there is broken.
I was pretty happy with my #Orienteering run today! There were few landmarks to help navigate properly. The map wasn’t up-to-date, nor was it an O map, just a basic hiking map on a tiny 1:25,000 scale. More than before, I followed the bearing consistently, no matter how steep or impassable the terrain was. And I counted my steps the whole time. You won’t get far here any other way. For me, that’s a whole new level of confidence!

Of all competitors of M50 at the 2026 Sprint Orienteeering Championships in #Lausanne
To the 8th control, one athlete (Niggli) runs in 31 seconds. The second (Plattner) in 37, the third in 50, the tenth in 55, the 20th 68 seconds.
It thus looks like only 2! of 39 were able to find the by far best solution.
IMO a clear indication of an irregular task presentation...
A new training reality + Peak Raid Eyam
I have new training zones and they scare me. My first run last week with the new zones was an hour in z2. Previously this translates to about 5mins/km - 4:50mins/k but now I had to discover what the new paces would be. This meant starting out at what seemed to be an uncomfortable pace at the start and it took about a k and a half for me to hit the zone. Eventually I seemed to settled into it, but it felt much more like what I felt like a tempo pace was. The end felt hard, but soon I ticked […]https://www.rock-crawler.co.uk/2026/05/11/a-new-training-reality-peak-raid-eyam/
