About to compete in 5th World Championships.

Getting the podium finish in the World Champs relay in Norway. Climbing the places on 2nd leg, seeing Nicki Taws appearing from the forest on last leg & seeing everyone's happiness for us
Worst orienteering moment
Stuffing up on last leg in my first World Cup relay, dropping places and running in to a disappointed home crowd.
Ambitions for the Future
Run 2 or 3 more WOCs, preferably with some more top twenties individually and top 6's in the relay.
Favourite Orienteering Map And/or terrain
Favourite maps include Ganguddy, Cantara Dunes, Pittwater Dunes and Gumble and Evans Crown.

Least Favourite Orienteer
That's a secret. Favourites include Carsten Jorgenson & I've always been impressed with what the Austrian Lucie Bohm achieved.
Other Sporting Loves
Soccer
Advice(tip) for other racers
Have good leg plans so you know where you are headed on the leg in advance, rather than working it out as you go & set yourself attack points into each control.
