It’s now just over a week before JWOC, so here is the last instalment of the pre-JWOC interviews. Be sure to
check back in the coming two weeks to get updates from the team as they train
and compete. You can also check the JWOC website for results once the races start.
So now, onto the final questions:
What are
your goals for this JWOC?
To run my own races, and see how that
works out! I'm hoping to improve on my previous results. – Kendra
My biggest goal this year for JWOC is simply to get the experience
of running in a really competitive field. - Pia
My main goal is just to have clean solid runs that I can feel I ran
to the best of my ability. – Alex
Punch, then
drink. – Trevor
My goal is to be happy with my races. – Jen
Have at least one perfect race and not to screw up in the relay. - Robbie
Any words
of wisdom to up and coming juniors who may like to attend JWOC in the future?
Work hard and
have fun. Everything else should slide into place. – Trevor
For those wanting to attend JWOC in the future, try to attend at
least one big race before JWOC. This can be really hard in Canada (as you
often only have 3-6 competitors), but the exposure to a larger and more
competitive field is invaluable. - Pia
Train hard, get excited about it, and
don't be intimidated! It’s fun! - Kendra
Train consistently and challenge yourself. You will only get better
if you push the limits of your orienteering. - Alex
What is one
of your favorite motivational songs?
I don't really have a single motivational song, but sometimes, when
I am running a particularly hard set of intervals, the song Stronger by Kelly
Clarkson starts up in my head. – Pia
My motivational song is Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. – Jen
Eye of the Tiger. - Robbie
We wish all the Canadian athletes competing at JWOC the best of luck.
We’re cheering for you! And thank you to all the coaches, parents, supporters, organizers, friends and many more who have helped helped our athletes along the way.
