With Sprint the Bay looming this coming weekend, one of the Organisers, Matt Ogden, provided us with some handy after work training to get us thinking STB. Using the Unitec map, Matt set a number of courses that focused on different skills we would need for the weekend including fine navigation, route choice and control punching. This was a very valuable evening with the first long course on the "long route choice" map in particular simulating a sprint course similar to what we can expect this weekend.
I completed all the courses with my running pace getting slower and slower all evening. This is not surprising as I see that I ran over 10km, most of them at sprint pace. The final activity of the evening was the micro-sprint using SportIdent; unfortunately a problem with the start control meant we didn't get the opportunity to compare results on this.
