Fine Tuning in Estonia

Before the excitement of Jukola and Venla Jess took the opportunity to do some final preparation work in Estonia. Jess heading into the Estonian Forest (Credit: Brigitte Huseby) In 2 weeks’ time, I want to be standing on that start line, knowing what to expect from the forest and ready to race hard. I will know the places to be careful, where to push on, which are the good routes to take and above all that I have the belief in myself for this terrain.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

MEET THE TEAM DONATE We are the British Athletes selected to run the World Orienteering Championships in Estonia at the beginning of July, as a team and as individuals we are athletes aspiring to the top, building on our 3 podium places from last year and continual upward trend in results. However recent funding cuts mean things are about to get very tough.  Last year an athlete competing at an international level as part of the GB team personally committed around £2500 in pursuit of delivering top performances at international competitions, this year this will at least double.  This does not include any training costs, training camps, races to improve world ranking or selection races, this was purely to compete at International Championships.  Most of us have positioned ourselves in jobs which allow us to train and more importantly compete with those athletes at the top, maintaining this athlete-life balance whilst covering a competition bill of £5000 will price a number
