report on the MORAVIAN JUNIOR TRAINING DAY
MORAVIAN VICTORY
IN SWEDISH CHRISTMAS SPRINT
(extract from a Swedish newspaper
is shown below)
International
participation at Länna's klubbtävling Christmas Sprint was encouraged this
year. Michael Dearman from Scotland, won with four seconds ahead of Mikael
Antilla-Eriksson. After the victory the idea was quickly raised that next
year’s Christmas Sprint is arranged in Scotland, since the victor always has
to plan the event the following year.
The previous year's winner, Tommy Eriksson, was therefore planner and used a
pleasant area of woodland northwest from “Kvarnerud”. There was a mass start
for everyone and the first control in the main class was common to everyone as
they came back to it twice more. In-between were two loops which runners did in
a different random order. At the last visit to this control the lead was tight
between Michael Dearman, Klara Alm and Mikael Antilla-Eriksson. The ultimate
four controls were the same for everyone.
Therefore, it was amazing
when the first two approaching the finish were Tomas's Jansson and Örjan Sjöström.
However they had forgotten a control and suddenly turned back for it.
“Was this the first time you have orienteered?”- “No, I orienteer at home
in Scotland”, Michael replies laughing.
”Did you expect victory?” - “Not at all, but it feels great.”

Many thanks go to Penelope and Steve
Smirthwaite and Douglas Murray for their great efforts in representing
our club at Spey 07. Thanks also go to the many helpers who laboured
long and hard at the Culbin event. It was a great week and it was made
especially good because of the gatherings in the club tent to
congratulate and commiserate as appropriate each day, and to discuss
route choices etc. A few photos of the week can be seen
here.
