Last day in Asiago


Jourdan hanging it out


Andrew on the charge

Today is our last day in Asiago. We are packing up in the moment to head up to Tonadico near Primiero. On the way we are going to be stopping for some 1:15000 training on a map along the route. Simon arrived last night so we are a full team of 14 now.

Yesterday we had two sessions. The morning, which most of the team did was a downhill course focussing on navigation in the rock detail around here. The last few controls were supposedly very relevant for the terrain in the JWOC middle. The morning was quite wet but not too cold.

In the afternoon we headed into asiago for some sprint training. We had a course set around the center of town that inclded some parks, some tight alleys in the town center and some more open streets. The slippery streets made it quite tricky. Lots of discussion afterwards about optimal routes, especially on the legs from 20-21 and 21-22.

  2. Hi guys, if you are interested in a possible sprint solution look at thee map of Matthias Muller that run last august the race... Pay attention that during the race the bridge just over the 2° control was closed...
