The first of the planned squad advisers/helpers posts has been filled.
Fingal’s Fiach O’Rourke is keen to help with the senior squads overall sporting ‘wellbeing’
By working with squad members to create individual sporting profiles and help evaluate individuals orienteering goals and aims (both short and long term)
Fiach is studying towards a masters in sports business with sports psychology, but he will still have time to help squad members with personal training plans and improve race preparation techniques.
Fiach will be helping the squad in a voluntary basis and would appreciate a good response from all squad members. Following the initial evaluation members can interact with Fiach as and when
required.
It is hoped that a blog site will be created where Fiach and the other advisers (technical, fitness, coaching) can offer regular tips and advice to senior squad members.
To start working on your sporting profile please contact Fiach at: fiachorourke@yahoo.co.uk

G-com 3 day event
A new spring warm weather multi-day event called the G-COM is being organised in Gran Canaria this February. The event looks like becoming a popular alternative to the Iberian spring competitions in Portugal and Spain.
N.Ireland and British squad member Allan Bogle is one of the main organisers and has sent out a personal invitation to all Irish orienteers to come and sample what promises to be a relaxed but competitive event that has already attracted a number of top international orienteers.
Allan, who runs Active canaria warm weather training camps, has organised full-board accommodation in log cabins at very competitive rates.
The cabins are situated very close to some excellent training maps and is surrounded by 1000's of km of trails offering good hiking and running.
Considering the tight timeframe before the 2011 event It may be that the squad has to wait untill 2012 before an organised training camp is possible.
However, If any squad members are interested in attending this years G-COM please get in touch with Allan or visit the event website:
