INTO THE MARSHES
Day 2
We woke up bright and early at 8:30 (ok not really, the sun
had already been up for close to five hours).
We fixed a quick breakfast and
then made a miserable attempt at blog writing
before heading out for our first session, control picking. The first few
controls were in dense forest that was really difficult to navigate through. After
that the forest cleared up (a bit, not really) and navigation became slightly
easier and we began to get used to the complex terrain.
2nd session of the day was once again in the
highly complex Eina-Bru terrain, but this time a middle course planned by
Sigmund’s other son, Martin (who is hopefully going to be in the Norwegian WOC
team this year). Tim had a reasonably clean, if not rather slow, run and only
managed to slip down one cliff. Roark was slightly slower and struggled with
the detail in the circle, while Dylan is still out in the forest (jokes Dylan).
For dinner we were invited to the Vister’s home where we
enjoyed a great meal and wonderful dessert of Ice-cream and delicious Norwegian
chocolate. We also talked about the day’s trainings and the training's to come,
as well as getting our daily dose of wifi (the only thing the club house is
missing).
Fact of the day: Moose are violently inclined and
occasionally attack joggers (as an unnamed source will attest to).
Awkward interaction of the day:
Roark bumped into a
hoard of young school children who asked him (In Norwegian) what a certain bird
was, to which he replied huuuuhhhhhhh??? (or something of the sorts)
