This day I took WOC2008 middle distance courses.
Firstly I tried Final course. The rocky part was really tough. It is not only detailed map reading which slows You down but also slope with small rolling stones. From 7th till 10th control I could only walk.. It feels like really special area. The second part was much more easier with faster orienteering.
Second training I did with Qualification course. First part was nice with clean forest and fast orienteering. I tried to run this part in high speed. Sad to say but I lost about 4min on this part. I think I lost a lot on 5th control because I got into very green area and had to walk. It would be much faster to run around this area. The second part was green and wet. I had some problems with those marshes. The boundaries are hardly noticeable.
However, I liked these courses and the maps. Little bit more speed in my legs and few more trainings in this area and I would feel great!
After 5 years maps are still usable not only for trainings
