the Auckland Orienteer

SEPTEMBER 1989 EDITORIAL

Here it is folks! Your long-awaited September issue! Hope the suspense wasn't too unbearable. Sorry this is out a bit late - I only arrived home 1.5 weeks ago and this magazine had to fit in amongst a lot of other things, mostly cow-related. The low-down on the '89 World Championships is all here for you to feast your eyes on! Hope some of you other jet-setters get round to writing up your adventures. I know a great trip was had by all! My photos and maps will be floating around at events in October, so if anyone's interested ... Talking about events in October, we sure have some fun in store for us! Auckland Champs, Auckland Relay Champs, and New Zealand Champs on our back doorstep. Whooppee - hope you're all raring to go! There's a few really good contributions this month - thanks!!! As for you non-pen-pushers, there's only 3 more issues coming out this year, so your chances of having your own literary work in print are rapidly running out! Now you wouldn't want to dip out would you?

* Hello Central! Long time no see. Firstly I would like to report on our mid-winter booze-up, er, I mean wine evening. Very successful but a few more people would have made it a bit wilder. Some amazing hats turned up with people in tow - from orienteering controls to forests and sombreros, to stooping as low as pinching the hat off teddy! All in all a great night was had by all - oh, and if you missed out for one reason or another don't worry, another night is to be planned.

* Keep an eye on this column for details on our wind-up event to be held on December 3rd. Remember, keep this date free!

*Very little else to report on this month, apart from keeping an eye on the newspapers for news of our orienteers abroad - who will have returned by now. How very proud of them we are.

* Now it's time for a farewell as this is the last Central Chatter for me, and for those of you still in the dark as to my identity, it's me, Kerstin Nicholls! - y'know Tony's daughter - oh never mind. Chris and I are about to head off across the Tasman for a while before we really start travelling. Thanks for being an attentive audience.

* Now don't forget our monthly meetings - next one is on Wednesday 4th October at 7.30pm, at Margaret and Tony Nicholls' place, 170 Campbell Rd, One Tree Hill, ph. 666-984.

NORTH WEST NEWS

* Well done to Michael Hood, who reached the semi-finals of Mastermind on television recently. You will be able to command a high fee for inclusion in a team at the next Trivial Pursuits evening!!

* Commiserations to Les Paver who broke a bone in his foot at the Paerata OY. Hope it's healed in time for all the big events coming up.

* Former club member Barry Cooper won a gold medal in the 3000m steeplechase at the World Veteran Games in Oregon last month. Now, if he could just perfect his orienteering skills

* Bruce Henderson is leaving Auckland to take up a new job as Principal of a school in Wellington. Bruce has been a tireless worker, both for our club and the Auckland Association, and we are sorry to see him go. Good 4 luck for the future Bruce, and we're bound to see you at major events, aren't we? * Congratulations Katie on your placing in the Final at the World Champs. It is a great achievement to even qualify and we are proud that you did so well. * The 'Pot Luck' dinner held at Colin Martin's house was a most enjoyable evening and thanks to Dave and Judy for your organisation. It's a pity some of the newer club members did not take the opportunity to get to know their fellow orienteers. These social occasions are for everyone, you know.

* Relay Teams - Alison Stone (ph. 478-8224) is now making up the 5-man teams for the Auckland Relays. Phone her now before she has to phone you. Ann Fettes (ph. 875-358) will be entering the relay teams for Nationals. Let her know if you wish to enter. North West Club is organising both these events, so you will all be asked to help out as well as compete. Good grief!!!

* Welcome to Frank Buckley, 12 Dudding Ave, Northcote. We know you are an old hand at orienteering and hope you enjoy your sport with North West.

* Change of address for your AOA membership list : Trevor Carswell, 37 Monument Road, Kaikohe, Northland, ph. (0887) 80795. A long way to travel to try and win the OY series Trevor! Geoff and Lisa Mead will have a new address in Devonport - notification in next month's issue.

* Brenda Stone is at present in the wilds of Indonesia with a school group. Some people will do anything to avoid going to events!!!

* The OCTOBER club meeting is on Thursday 5th at Bev and Colin Tait's house, 1/8 White Heron Drive, Massey East. Start time is hopefully 7.30pm.

NW Newshound SOUTH AUCKLAND NEWS

* Attention in the Browne household over the past month has been focused on what our representatives Jeanine and Tania Robinson, supported by Ross Brighouse and Rob Garden, have been doing in Sweden. By now we know that Ross won the M40A class in the Scottish 6-Day, with Rob finishing 5th. Jeanine ran in the Finals of the world Champs (with NWOC's Katie Fettes) and Tania finished 6th in the B-Final. I'm sure they all have a lot of experience to offer NZ Orienteering in the future.

* This month's mention must go to Ralph King who kept us informed of the 5 World Champs with items in the 'Herald', 'Star' and 'Sunday News'. I counted 12 articles - there may have been more. This brings the point that there could be an added task for our future team managers - keep the at-home orienteers informed of the progress of our reps.

* Having attended some of the Central District OYs, it appears that Auckland¬ ers form the bulk of entries. The challenge of competing on a strange map must appeal, and with the exception of the first OY all the courses have been well-set. * Talking of maps - I would rank Kaahu, Perimeter Road, Waitarere, Telephone Track and Waiuku South as my favourite forest maps, with Opepe and Stronvar as my favourite farm maps. * Jim and Stephen Sneddon are in Birmingham for Stephen's International Skills Olympics. Jim is buying O-equipment for the club and BSA bits for me. * The next club meeting is at the Shukers' house, Waiuku, where Jeanine and Tania will tell us of their runs. Ken Browne

1990 MOUNTAIN MARATHON The Management Committee regrets to advise that the Macpac Mountain Marathon which was scheduled to be held at Waiouru in January,1990 has been cancelled. The lack of an overall Co-Ordinator has been given by the Training Squad as the reason for them having been forced to cancel the event. It has occurred to us that perhaps a Club may be in a position to offer an alternative event. We are not too sure just where the previous sponsors, MacPac, now stand but do know that they are seeking an event which will attract a maximum number of participants and some media coverage. The Management Committee's thoughts are that as well as offering the traditional Orienteering type courses the competition should include a Fell Running race which would involve minimal navigational skills and allow competitors to compete as individuals. We would also see the inclusion of something for the Mountain Bike enthusiasts as being an advantage. We know that time is now running out but if anyone is interested would they please contact me (Phone 09 8324633) urgently.

1990 MAJOR FIXTURES LIST Our Fixtures Officer, Stan Foster, has asked me to advise that the following fixtures for 1990 have been o.k.ed so far : - March 3rd Taupo All Night Relays.

Re: Short distance Orienteering

One issue discussed with particular fervour at the Torbole Congress was the introduction of short distance orienteering. At its November meeting in Zuerich the IOF Council, in co-operation with the IOF Comm­ ittee Chairmen and the World Cup Group, drafted a conceptual paper on this new type of event. At a recent meeting in Tarrytown, USA, Coun­ cil endorsed the principles laid down in the paper.

Enclosed you will find the said document. Now it is up to you all to start experiments. You are entirely free to develop new types of events. The only restriction is that they must comply with the aims as expressed in the enclosed paper. The IOF Council hopes this year will generate frequent participation and a lot of exchange of ideas in relation to these tryouts. You are also welcome to communicate your experiences via the IOF publication, Orienteering World!

Please remember that short distance, as the IOF Council sees it, covers the entire spectrum from beginners' courses to demanding elite events.

At the forthcoming Presidents' Conference in connection with the WOC in Sweden we will all have the opportunity to have an in-depth discussion about short distance as a new discipline.

I count on you.

AIMS

- Give more variation to the competition program for orienteers.

- Attract new competitors to the sport

Give the competitors in orienteering another physical challenge

- Give the competitors in orienteering another technical challenge

- Give the competitors in orienteering the possibility to specialize

- Make the orienteering sport more attractive to media

Spread orienteering to areas presently regarded as not suitable to normal orienteering

HOW AIMS CAN BE MET

- Shorter course length - much lover winner time

- Plan competitions emphasizing different tactics than used in normal distance orienteering

- Plan competitions emphasizing other physical attributes than necessary in normal distance orienteering, like;

higher speed/faster running

less emphasize on long distance stamina

- Use high quality maps

- Organize competitions differently, like: take controls in free order take controls in a predetermined order, putting weight on: short legs with intensive orienteering, fast decisions/correct decisions

One guideline should, however, be to keep the organization easy, allowing less resourceful organizers to stage such events. - Terrain requirements:

size of terrain less limiting than earlier, terrain allowing fast running/fast decisions necessary

MEDIA COVER

Short distance orienteering will:

- produce more information to press in a shorter timespan,

- give more "action" for the press,

allov TV to cover more of the competition, thereby producing more exitement for viewers. 9 THE PAERATA O.Y.

What great wonders our New Zealand Team are seeing and participating in. They must have keen eyes and alert brains, and the world is at their feet. At least the Swedish bit of it. What tales to tell us when they get home, while we all sit in winter gloom. Budget gloom, showery weather, filtered sunlight, and ooze under our feet. Good old Kiwi mud. Yet every course has its highs and lows, its brain teasers, its depths of despair. For me anyway. I don't even envy those who have a great run, they have nothing to WRITE about - no mistaking contours, or ending up the wrong creek not only without a paddle but without a crossing point, and the watery sludge looking six feet deep, and vile to boot. OY No.5 was as usual for me, a radiantly happy start. Sun out, green native bush, and No.1 looms up on target, even though I've had to gingerly climb two fences to reach it. No.2 overshot, but it had dropped its skirty coyly in the ferns. No.3 a perfect Dalton-Murphy fix - how do they do it? Jealousy will get you nowhere - up and over, whatever for?? As I peer at my map in the comfort of my lounge, I had only to backtrack round the edge of the bush, and follow the stream up to its logical source. I chose the hard, the bad, the vines, the green, pace-counting into a non-existent clear­ ing - my ageing eyes refusing to see pale yellow stripes. Half an hour later, exhausted, frustrated, I stumble over it on my third attempt, compass course and pace-count perfect. First find your attack point. Ha! 10 I almost gave up as I crossed the road and I saw cars and lunch boxes flashing. Only 7 to go - who set this course, don't you know it takes me two minutes to check clip, reset course. Two minutes each and 6x13 equals 78 minutes to do all that. Never mind, no.6 great, great, exactly where D.G. put it, in the middle of a swamp. Good for my holey shoes, now sqelch¬ ing upward and over a long leg, round the track, rocky cliffs, gorse bushes, but yeah! yeah! 7, 8 and 9. Too exhausted to climb the hill back to 10, a million miles away; sit down, retie shoe-laces. Huff, puff, slowly push the contours back to the top of the hill, and slide straight down through the bush. Does anyone in Sweden have these thrills - leaf mold in your britches, twigs down your bra? 10, 11 and 12, again not worth descibing - you see, you never remember the perfect ones. Then yippee, the finish! Missed out No.13, didn't see that - my mind is going now, not that it hasn't been a little shakey for years. Toddle out of bush through stream, only to have to retrace, ensnared by supple jack, crashing through rotten tree trunks, see flag but almost too tired to clip. Stagger to finish and collapse on Lindsay. Poor guy thought he might have to give me the kiss of death - or is it life - but would have preferred a W16A. A perfect 103 minutes worth - really believe in getting my money's worth, and only had to travel 20km. Bet the N.Z. Team aren't having as much fun.

11 NUTHIN' TO IT Me young tartar's mate came round on the bludge tuther day knowing me missus wuz brewing up a batch of fudge for the kids. Got yappin' 'bout this Oriental stuff at school where they had to hunt round the buildings and huts 'n' swim pool 'n' things for coloured bits of cardboard so that when ya found one ya had ta hike off 'n' find nuther one 'r' two 'r' so. Well he gets to ravin' on so wildly me young tyke threatens t' go off his greens if I don't let him have a burl at this sport, too. Seein' there ain't no such orient thingee at our local school, I peek-a-boo at the Herald columns and there it is. (That's how it's spelt?) A short powwow with the tribe, an apology to me mates over the blower f' not cracking a few at the club in the guise of cleaning up from the bingo and social on Saturd'y night, and an educated decko at the AA map, strewth I didn't even know that place existed. Sunday morning and the house is a bloody battlefield: sandwiches, sponge cake, thermos, plastic cups (didn't know we had any), paper serviettes (what's wrong with shirt sleeves and sides of pants?). I've got to take the good-looking sneakers we got from Para one late shopping night at St Lukes 'cos the pair I'd been painting with might look a bit outa place with primer and yellow fence paint splottered all over. Missus took out the two cans I sneaked into the lunch kit saying the clean country life without booze would do me the world of good. This sport looked like it was going to get a bit of getting used to! We bunged in a parka each in case Auckland's weather turned out as it usually does when I'm cornered into outside jobs, like gardening, lawns, kids' pet show, sideline ref at the 6th grade footie, tying the TV aerial proper way up with old lectrical cord, y'know, all those chores that need doin' every 6 months or so, urgent like. Anyhow, off we trundled to this Orientereering business with 'nuff gear to assist Jacky Custo up the Amazon. The missus reads the map and misses the roads 'cos she's too busy looking at house designs and vege stalls and oh what a lovely flower garden. Junior sees the sign first with red arrows pointing to so and so. We crosses the new motorway by Aorere College and go down into this dirty great quarry place, and there's cars everywhere. We checks in at this funny little canvas pop-top and mum reckons she'll go with Junior and the two girls can do their own thing. Me being a big boy can look after meself! This intelligent-looking joker in the tent thing is telling a coupla sheilas all about how it's done so I stand close by, all ears, but pretending that I've got dirty fingernails, 'cos I usually do. Mom pays for all of us outa her housekeeping money and gives me a map and a sheet with clues and name places and how old I really am, and a mess 12 of lines where I'm to work out how long I took. Bloke says I can start when I'm ready and warmed-up. Reckon by the time I've changed into me worn-out dress shorts and taken off me woolly socks, tightened up me Bata Bullets and peeled off me best Sunday footie jersey I've warmed-up enough. At a master map table I watch what the other jokers are doing, then it's my turn to copy down all them circles and lines on my map, which is about the size of the big flower designs on our passageway wallpaper. Bloke beside me in a funny-looking shiny pyjama outfit asks me if I've picked out me route-choices and I say yeah, slowly like, 'cos I wonder what he's on about. After bumming round a bit and seeing which way the others headed off, I finally got bullied into starting behind a mother and 3 troopers, and ahead of a streaky, two-legged racehorse. No. 1, Re-Entrant, oh yeah smarty and what does that mean? Somewhere over there by that swamp edge. Trip over a few rocks, climb a coupla fences, no sweat. Haven't done this f'lots of years. Bloody cowmuck everywhere, ouch, small blackberry creeper, whoops nearly scalped on that low branch. Cripes, there's the control! So that's what a re-entrant is, just a blinkin' gully. And oh yeah, copy down that letter onto my card. Now let's see, turn the map sideways, or is it endways, perhaps they want me to go over the top of all this rubbish and then through the swamp; hell they must be joking, the fence posts disappear under water. Crafty me, I'll duck around the edge to that rocky cliff over there and the next control will be waving at me from the top. Righto, the bottom of the cliff face, and here we go up to the top at the speed of a rampant pumpkin vine. There she be, and also here comes racehorse round the end of the rocks instead of straight up. Hell why didn't I think of that, a guy needs his head read. Hey there's the mum and her troop at the next fence, hotly pursued by John Walker Mark II, and carefully supervised back here by yours truly. Well after two more controls my legs, chest, belly, and even my think¬ box are feeling the worse for wear. Right now, just before I climb this stone wall which seems to grow larger the more I look at it, is when I'm convinced that the course planner (or whatever they call the bozo) just planted controls at vantage points around an old commando-confidence-course. Stone the crows, loo kit that sheila scorch up that hill, and only knee-high to a cricket too; must've done some training I guess. Anyhow, that's not the way for me to go and I only got two more flags to finish. Jeez I'll crash well tonight. Let's suss this next bit out, as I'm sure me legs'll buckle if these spidery lines on the map mean that's a dirty great hill I've got to get past. Plotting a bit of strategy by snucking to the left over that low bit and then curling to the right should get me bang on the trough. Off I tootles and it works beaut, 13 but boy do these black beasts stink, how do they get such nice things like cream and steaks from such crappy sods? There's all the cars down below, and people running to the finish banner from all over the place, and I've still got one to go, probably just over the next fence. Whad'ya know, I can see it from here on that hump of dirt with a few boulders on one side. What's the thing say, oh yeah, knoll, god these guys get technical don't they. Just in case the missus and the kids are finished and watching, I'd better put on a good run-in so's I break into me best chunder, like I'm chasing the stray dog out of me vege patch. Nobody to cheer me in but a lone clock on a table to tell me what time to put in the finish box. Me hands are trembling so much from this unfamiliar exertion I can hardly make out me own figures, and sweat's pouring off me all over the table. This sort of thing could ruin a guy, if he's not care­ ful. But when I manage to remember how to subtract minutes from sixty and saunter over past post-mortem groups to the results line strung on a wooden gate, whad'ya know, I'm three along from the slowest. I see the mom and her hiawathas still up on the hill still coming in, I wonder where they jiggered off to? Back at the bomb, missus and kids had just started hoeing into the grub and were surprised to see me back so soon. "How'd it go, Dad?" junior asks as if I wasn't due till breakfast. Grinning smugly I replied, "Nuthin' to it son, nuthin' to it."

JULY 5 Jumped off the plane and onto Swedish soil, after 35 hours of zooming across the world - hooray, the Land of the Orienteer! Travelled on up to Borlange, 3.5 hours drive NW of Stockholm, and arrived at 11pm in broad daylight. Crazy place huh! JULY 6-8 Stayed with two gun Swedish orienteers (Niklas Lowegren and Marguerita Carlsson) in Borlange for a few days, trying to get used to the sticky weather (30°C and more!) and the never-ending daylight. Sussed out a few Swedish forests - one of which was right on our back doorstep - and decided I was in for a lot of hard work, since the rocky ground and knee-high blue­ berry bushes made terrain-running twice as hard as home. Lots of marshes to squish my way through too, what fun! JULY 8-14 Spent the week with about 25 elite orienteers from the Stora Tuna Club (Borlange-based and one of Sweden's strongest clubs in the elite grades). It was their annual summer training camp, this year held at Idre Fjall, a ski resort in the Swedish mountains. No snow about but it was pretty chilly at times. We got down to some hard training amidst the chairlifts and blueberry bushes - usually a course in the morning and a long run in the afternoon, enough to exhaust the gruntiest orienteer. But we managed to organise a mini-golf championships in between - maybe I'll take up that instead, it's rather less tiring. JULY 15-21 Off to Ostersund and O-Ringen (otherwise known as the Swedish 5-Day), another 4 hours drive north of Idre. This is the biggest O-competition in the world - 20,000 competitors, 5 different maps with finish areas big enough to cope with the masses, and approximately 80 courses. The mind boggles! The organisers must get a few headaches over it - and there's an O-Ringen held every year! The impact on the forest is amazing - after 20,000 people have stomped through it in a matter of hours, it has been changed forever - not an unsquashed blueberry to be seen. Ostersund was where I caught up with the other Kiwis - 22 in fact, the Swedes were very impressed. Quite a few of them had been tripping round Norway for a few weeks, and had come to the conclusion that Norwegian orienteering is chronically difficult. Ten of us rented a house for the 16 week, complete with washing machine (bliss!). It was a bit chaotic at times, especially when we arrived back from the day's competition - the kitchen looked like feeding time at the zoo. But great company all told. Carey and Kevin spent the week at the O-Ringen Clinic, which is open to two competitors per country and provides lots of coaching and technique tips, as well as loads of yummy food. Us other bods dined on knackerbrod and pasta all week, and dissected each others' courses and muck-ups. If you don't know what knackerbrod is you're not missing out on anything. We all survived the O-Ringen week with varying degrees of success. Too many people for my liking, but it's worth the experience. Kevin sprained his ankle on the final day and was on crutches for a few days. Jeanine and I found there were new thrills to be had in Crutch-Jumping competitions. I think the Swedish air was getting to us. *JULY 22-28 * Cur first week of official training camp! We stayed in the Leksand Orienteering Clubhouse, where we spread ourselves out on the floor and Jeni Martin took over the kitchen as Camp Chef. Only Bryan Teahan and Peter Hill to arrive, so we buckled down to some serious business (namely wearing ourselves, and our o-shoes, out). John Rix had just arrived from England to act as our team manager - just the same as ever, fighting fit, and eager to see us all and hear news from home as he's been absent from N.Z. for more than a year. Our team coaches were Lars Sjokvist and Karin Gunnarsson, both good Swedish orienteers - Karin represented Sweden at the 1979 World Championships. They were great friends to all of us within a matter of days. It didn't take long to discover that Lars is a dab hand at cooking up blueberry pies - important information for me and Carey, who have insatiable pie-and-ice-cream appetites! We spent the week training in several different forests, mostly what Karin believed would be similar to World Champs terrain: very few rocks, some fast stuff, some marshes. Some days we spent the whole day training, other days we took the afternoon off to check out the local sights - food shops were the most popular. Strewth, ice-cream is an unbelievable rip-off in Sweden - $3 for a few blobs, enough to make the heart break. Most of our training exercises focused on route choice, and we had several relay practices, one with a bunch of Stora Tuna club-members so that we could get the hang of running amongst a bunch of other bods. We also had an hour's discussion each night about the day's courses, using an overhead projector, and sometimes played games to improve our map- memory skills. Rob J. celebrated his 21st birthday mid-week, hooray, an excuse to feast on raspberry cream cake! Tania was more interested in spotting moose - training exercises became an excuse to go moose-hunting instead 17 of control-picking. JULY 28 - AUGUST 3 A five-hour drive south to Vastergotland brought us to the real World Champs terrain, where we spent a week training our legs off. The World Champs suddenly seemed a lot closer, when we heard of other national teams in the vicinity and some even having team trials just down the road from our camping ground. Still, we managed to fit in some serious blue­ berry picking during the week. Tania spotted a moose's behind, her eyes were shining for the rest of the day. We had a brief encounter with the Aussie team on our final day here - we decided they weren't looking too unbeatable. Tried to psyche them out by telling them of all the great training we'd put ourselves through - not sure if it worked or not. But I for one finally felt like I was getting the hang of the tricky terrain, it was a bit of a relief. Now we all had to face our own team trials, to decide which four would run in the World Champs Individuals. Oh boy! AUGUST 3-7 Another 2-hour drive, this time to Aneby, site of the Swedish WOC team trials. After all this driving around the country the scenery sure hadn't changed much - forest, forest, and yet more forest. An orienteer's dream - or maybe nightmare?? The Swedish organisers had kindly agreed to let us run in the trials too, after the last Swede had started, and we used these two races as our own trials. We stayed in cabin-accomodation by an idyllic lake, with a bunch of the Swedish guns. Boy was I glad to be an insignificant Kiwi - the pressure those guys have on them would turn me into a nervous wreck. They need virtually perfect runs to ensure selection - I hardly know what a perfect run is. The trials were long and hard, even though we had shortened courses on the second day. We were all fairly close in times but miles down on the winner. But this is Sweden. Lars, Karin and John decided between them­ selves who would run what - me, Jeanine, Carey and Tania in the Women's Individual, and Jan in place of Tania for the Relay; and Alistair, Peter, Rob and Kevin in the Men's Individual. The men's relay team wouldn't be decided until after the world Champs Finals. AUGUST 7-12 Karin and Lars dad decided that to make us hungry for WOC (rather than for blueberry pies!), we needed a week off from o-ing, so most of us went to Stockholm for a few days to spend up large. Tania and I were billeted with a super-nice Swedish o-family, who pampered us with delicious food and nice soft beds, hooray! It took a bit of getting used to eating corn- 18 flakes for lunch - we both decided not to continue the habit on our return home. We all managed to spend our money with ease! Tania taught up Stockholm's clothes shops, some of us other bods went cruising round the archipelago like proper tourists. It felt strange to be without my compass after four weeks of permanent companionship. A bit of a relief actually! AUGUST 12-13 Back to Borlange, where the team re-assembled and celebrated Lars' 30th birthday. Loads more cream cakes, what decadence. Then it was off to Skovde, 5 hours drive south, centre for the 1989 World Championships. Things were really starting to get exciting. AUGUST 14-20 The long-awaited WOC-week, at last upon us! We checked into our posh hotel where all the national teams were staying, perched on a hill over­ looking the town. It was great to be finally amongst the other competitors, suss out our opposition, remeet old friends, and get into the spirit of the occasion. And just like other years, I think we had one of the smartest tracksuits! The competition had never been so fierce as at WOC '89 - the level of improvement in just two years was incredible, especially in the European countries. They're obviously getting better faster than we are - but it's not surprising, considering the number of large scale o-events that are held throughout their summer. Coping with big competitions and lots of race pressure is a big step towards performing successfully. Jeanine and I were the only qualifiers this year, with Carey missing out by just 17 seconds, and Peter going through to the final as our highest- placed male. There were some pretty disappointed team members that day, but our team-spirit was high and we still had the Relay to look forward to. The B-Final (for non-qualifiers) was held the next day on the same map, and Tania was our star of the day finishing in 6th place. Only 17 years old and handling the competition like a seasoned competitor - what a future in store for her! The A-Final finally arrived - it seemed like I'd been waiting for this day for a long, long time. (I had, too!) I felt raring to go - even the weather suited me, cool and windy and a bit of sun and a bit of rain. I was shaking in my shoes on the startline, but soon got stuck into the course. A few mistakes along the way, but I was pretty pleased with how I went since it was a long physically-tough course - 9.8km and 390m climb. Ended up 34th overall, that top 30 position escaping me again, confound it. It sure is hard to get everything just right on one day of the year. I haven't found the secret yet. Jeanine finished 50th and Peter was 53rd. 19 The controls were all manned and there were at least six TV cameras out in the forest, providing Sweden with 3 hours of live coverage. Nope, none of us kiwis made it onto the box - better luck next time! Sweden's star was their own , who lived up to everyone's expectations and took the women's title with 1.5 minutes to spare. The biggest surprise was Alida Abola of the USSR, who came 3rd overall - only the second time the Soviets have taken part in a World Championships, and already they're proving a threat to the Scandinavians. The Relays were as usual one of the highlights of WOC - lots of close competition and heaps of spectators. Alistair and I ran the first legs for our team, and we both had really good runs. Jeanine had a strong 2nd-leg run but the competition is so tough and we slowly slipped down in the placings as the race went on, and finished 14th in the Women's race and 18th in the men's. It takes four really great runs to make the top 10 in the Women's Relay, and just like any big race there's a lot of pressure and nerves to overcome to do that. There was a great battle between Sweden and rapidly-improving Czecho­ slovakia in the final leg of the women's Relay - only 20 seconds separated them at the finish chute. Sweden came out on top though, regaining their title which they lost to Norway in '87. Norway took the Men's Relay title for the 7th time - they're one up on Sweden now, who've won it 6 times. I wonder if anyone else will ever get a chance. Well it was finally all over. That afternoon the team split up, we didn't even have time for a party. Lars and Karin had to zoom back to Borlange as they had to be at work the next day. Rob and Peter were off to Stockholm, and I was heading for Holland to spend the rest of the week being a tourist vith my brother and Mum. It seemed an abrupt way to end the World Champs, but we'd all had a terrific time and we're better off for the experience. John Rix made a great manager, we owe him so much for all the running round he did for us and the hundreds of controls he put out and collected during our training camps. Well, maybe not hundreds, but it probably felt like that to him. Lars and Karin were great value too, we couldn't have hoped for better coaches. I hope we see lots more of them! Czechoslovakia 1991 - here we come!!!
