NZSS Orienteering Team - Australian Championship Carnival 2013

Show Profile  R2 Posted: 28 September 2013, 4:12 AM  
Training Day: We were extremely fortunate to have 'local' Kiwi Rob Jessop plan 2 trainings for our team & some of the other NZers who are travelling over to take part in the Australian Champs Carnival. In the morning we trained on Black Mountain-a map similar to what we are expecting for the Schools races. Rob had planned a map walk to familiarise our six '1st timers' with typical Australian features, then had set out control flags on a short course show-casing some 'Australian style' course setting. In the afternoon we had a map walk on the rocky and steep Mt Taylor - with amazing views our over Canberra. We used this map for a look at the rock detail. Thanks Rob - our team really appreciated your expertise and local knowledge. In the evening the Australian state teams arrived- lots of catching up with friends made on previous trips. The kiwi team were first to bed as we are still getting over the 2 hour time difference. All looking forward to the Sprint Race today with our fist starter (Vida) off at 11.10am through to our last starter (Alice) at 2.18pm.
