A Practical Guide for orienteers of level "Intermediate +"

How many errors do you typically make during an hour of running on a forest course? Have you ever done such a static analysis of it? Is it around 3 minutes, maybe 7, or even 10, or perhaps more than 15 minutes?

Imagine reducing those mistakes by 5 or 10 times. Do you think it's unrealistic? It's not! All you need are three things: desire (I want), knowledge (I know), and action (I do).

If you're determined to significantly minimise your route execution errors and are ready to put in the effort, this book will equip you with the knowledge you need. After reading it, you'll likely discover new strategies for minimising navigation errors that you've never considered before.

Just think: if you've been losing an average of 5 minutes out of every 60 minutes of running due to errors, this book can help you cut that loss down to just 1 minute or even 30 seconds. The best part is that you won't compromise your current speed; your performance will become remarkably stable.

You can achieve consistent, precise navigation and 'stamp out' outstanding results, just like a machine. It's not complicated. Navigation is a simple concept! But understanding where the risks originate and how to avoid or minimise them is the key.

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #18

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #18 Presented leg 6-7 from the middle distance of the Norwegian Masters Championship 2024 (15.09. 2024; M65 class). Of the possible three routes, the left route goes over the hill and has almost the same lengthening as the right route (which has no climb). So we're not considering left route for execution. On the direct route there is a very steep slope to climb up. It takes a lot of time. See a comparison drawing of the best routes of straight and right. The right route turns out to be the fastest, while it is possible to see other legs ahead on the road. However, it is important to take the shortest route to the road from control 6. See a comparison drawing of two right routes on this leg ( best time on the leg and the course leader who only had 7th time on this leg).
