| I'm told this is a well known technique for helping with all that hill climbing.... |
This morning (Friday), Team Canada went back to the Long training area and did the second half of the course in a hilly, hilly terrain. The leg 9-10 route alternatives were discussed at length over lunch (see map below - which way would you go? Leave your answer in the comment section!)

In
the afternoon, the Team headed on over to the second middle training map, Chvalecsky
Les, and run a short course. The end of the course went through a very
rocky area with giant boulders and cliffs. Very tricky!

| The tunnel under a railway led to the middle terrain! |
 |
| Lots of rocky detail! |
Everyone
had a good day of training. The long training was an opportunity to practice good route choice analysis
and learning, while the middle terrain was a reminder of how careful you have to
be among all the details on the map!

Back at
the hotel in Hradec Kralove, the JWOC event centre is now open, with flags
and posters all over the hotel lobby! The Team picked up their accreditation
badges and bags of information.
The next two
days will be mostly rest before the first race on Monday. Tomorrow will start with a short sprint practice in the morning, and then some sightseeing.

9-10. A little left of the line and than parallel to it but crossing back over the line where it crosses the road. Then a little right but parallel to the line looking for the broad spur to the left of the clearing with the buildings. From there, straight at the control. Note: this seems easier when I can plan the route from the comfort of my chair looking at a computer screen. Not sure whatI would have done were I actually running.
