Biala Rzeka-Last training in the Forest

Today we possibly had our last training in the forest as we are sprint training and resting the next few days. We were typical NZ orienteers getting completely confused driving to the actual map, some say we were saving our navigational skills for the training.
A few went for a jog around the tracks or in the open forest and some did a small course to gain that extra bit of confidence running through terrain. The forest was pretty fast although rather steep and a few small, green rough patches. We actually did a long training here on Sunday with a 1:15000 scale, but today we all used a 1:10000 map for middle style training.
We saw the Bulgarians training on the same map, and also Johanna (Swedish team leader) collecting in some controls which the Swedes must have been using, but we didn't even need controls because we are just so awesome ;)
We have some new friends at the hotel now. Denmark, Australia and Japan are all in Hotel Victoria with us, and we are expecting to see Belgium, Austria and Finland in the next few days :)
In the afternoon today, we had a 4 hour shopping trip in the Mall just on the edge of Rumia. It was very successful for finding all our Banquet uniforms (which look wicked!), much faster than last year.
Tomorrow we have our first sprint training in Poland, finally...so we shall update you on how that all goes tomorrow :)
We shall leave you with a few photos from the last few days....
