Cultural learnings in orienteering: Norwegies vs Glaswegies
Scotland and Norway both have fantastic orienteering terrain and high quality maps. Both have produced World Champions (OK.. many vs. Jamie, but Yvette & JD both lived in Scotland for a few years..). So what makes the Norwegian scene feel so different?On moving from Glasgow to Trondheim I immediately noticed a difference in the local attitude towards physical exercise. Whilst out running in Glasgow the main hazard would be avoiding getting a brick, deep-fried mars bar or irn bru can thr ...

20km training in Lisbon
Today we did a 20km course in Lisbon in 01h27min42sec (~-4,21min/km). It crosses Monsanto park and goes along the beautiful Tajo river. It was a long time since I last did a long train like this. The map shows a drawn course, once I stupidly erased my GPS while updating its firmware. We didnt go to the athletics race in Setubal due to some technical problems =)
