WOC2011 training camp / World Cup France

The Irish hit Annecy in France to prepare for next years world orienteering championships in Aix les Bains/Chambery. A worthy mention: a certain someone from Corko has returned to the wild.

After the first days of training in local terrain to next years WOC it seems that foot placement will be challenging.

But you can't spend the race watching where you put your feet, look up, and keep an eye out for the Alps!

But seriously it's physically challenging in a different way to Trondheim and it's way more intricate! If you haven't seen Thierry Gueorgious twitter post about his training here check it out - http://twitpic.com/2ir3pf . The Irish team were on this map today.

Stay posted for future updates about the training camp and the world cup race this Sunday.
