Tuesday training in Göteborg

Waiting.... in Oslo Bus station




We managed to make it to breakfast this morning, following the 6-7am military breakfast timetable. At least the food pretty good and not too weird.
Picked up some more rental cars this morning after deciding that public transport to the maps like the organisers suggested wouldnt really work for us.
Today we headed out to Partille-Gunnilse, the map for the long distance. We trained on the North Eastern bit which isnt being used and did some long leg training. We all found it much easier than norway, the contour features are much easier to read and the visibility is slightly better so you can get a better perspective of whats going on around you. Still a really physical map with lots of blueberries and heather all over the place. The marshes we have been warned about are reso dry at the moment, but a bit inconsistent with some being pretty deep. Saw a couple of snakes, we think, Kate almost stood on one, we think.
The irish moved in downstairs from us today and the candians, americans and russians are all in another building, not quite like jwoc yet, should get more other countries towards the end of the week.
Everyones in pretty good condition, Angelas back is getting better and Georgia tweaked her ankle but will be sweet to train and race.
