School Sport & trainning

Hello everyone :)

Last saturday Joana and Isabel went to the second competition of the School Sport North Ranking. The race took place in Penafiel, in the map "Figueira - Este". It wasn't a beautiful terrain at all, it was so green that you only could run on the paths. As you can see the course was really short, 2km. It was very easy and very fast. Joana won the competition with and excellent time of 15'52'' and Isabel was second with 17'10''. It was so funny to remember the old times when we used to use the card to control, instead of the sport ident system xD

Mariana also went to a competition but in the South. Was the 5th stage of the third trophy Ori-Alentejo where Mariana did the medium course with 5,1km, that she won doing 33'45''.

On Sunday, GD4Caminhos was organizing an orienteering trainning, but for people that was starting orienteering. It was in Arvore, a village that belongs to Vila do Conde (the town where Isabel lives), in a map that is very easy for us, because we have already run there thousands of times. Joana and Isabel took the oportunity and went there for trainning. It was such a rainny day, and also with a lot of wind. We started the trainning running 30' slow, for warming up, with the map in the pocket. Than we made the course (3,5km). After that we ran slowly some minutes more. Overall we made 75'. It was very nice because we were trainning toghether which is really rare, specially for Isabel that runs alone everyday.

Next weekend Joana is going to a Regional Competition, in Barcelos. Isabel and Mariana are going to run the School Sport cross. Isabel will run on saturday and she's going to try to stay in the first 6 so that she can go to the National Championship - School Sport Crosse. Mariana will run the distritic (in Lisbon), on friday, and she is going to try also go to the National Championship.

See you,
