I write this as we sit in our room sheltering from the 35 degree heat outside. This morning we completed our last forest session before jwoc with a mass start relay practice exercise. The terrain for this is a lot different from the other stuff we have been in. The big broad hills with pockets of little details provide a different challenge to the other disciplines but a lot of skills we have been practicing are easily transferable. We did the session along side the USA team which gave a bit more practice and being distracted by other runners. Everyone seemed to drop a bit of time here and there which may be due to a little bit of fatigue and a little bit of poor technique. With a couple days rest and easy training we should be fresh and fast for Sunday! There are now a number of teams here now with a lot more to come in the next couple of days. You can definitely feel the excitement in the air. Not to much else to report so I will leave it here. Hopefully next post we an report some great successes!
