Hey hey people, here’s your big chance to help a kiwi Orienteer! I applied for an AMP scholarship to help kiwi people ‘do their thing’. One of the categories is a peoples choice award, so the person with the most votes get’s a $10,000NZ scholarship. Orienteering at an elite level is pretty expensive for a kiwi. Travelling to Europe every …

NZ champs was the perfect motivation for me to start enjoying my training again. I’m not saying I wasn’t having fun before, but now I’m looking forward to each session and always have a specific focus or goal in mind. I had some good results at Nationals, but technically there was a lot of room for improvement in my orienteering.I …

Well then, from the title of this blog you can see that the NZ Champs at Easter weekend in Hawkes Bay went better than expected! As I mentioned earlier I was the mapper and planner of the NZ sprint Champs on Friday afternoon. It was great weather and such a nice event centre, so it was so good to finally …

Sup! Things have been a bit up and down for me since WOC last year, both with training and just life in general. Now things are starting to look really positive again J. I had quite a long break after WOC last year, a few months with only really light training just to stave off obesity. I didn’t have so …

Hey hey!I haven’t been up to too much lately, not exactly by choice either. I had a small rest after WOC and then decided to run a half marathon. It didn’t go too well, I felt really sick and ended up puking at about the half way point. I managed to finish the race in a pretty lazy time (77.01 …

Last week, with support from my club Odense OK and the crush Åke Jönsson has on me, I was able to tag along with the Danish team on their training camp in Trondheim.The purpose of the camp was to prepare for WOC next year. It was my first time in Trondheim, and it definitely showed 🙂 My orienteering was ok …

I made mistakes, I was stupid, I didn’t enjoy the sports. And now I’m free. A longer version is available in Finnish. With a smile, Minna Ross Though I must add, it was pretty nice having the chance to watch Chris kicking some ass for NZ!!!

It’s now close to a month since I left Denmark for the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I have no idea what happened to these last 3 weeks. I am in the middle of packing my bags for WOC in Hungary and I realised I better smack something down on my blog about WG before my short memory gets …
