I got a few GPX-tracks from last Friday's rogaining event and drew them with OpenLayers. Over here: http://www.anderswallin.net/loppiaisrogaining2012/ OpenLayers has a nice set of examples online. Browsing and copy/pasting from examples is much better than trying to read & understand formal documentation.

Took part in an 8h rogaining event yesterday. Very wet in the forest with a lot of fallen trees due to the storms over the last few weeks. We planned a ca. 20km long route (straight lines between controls), assuming we would walk up to 50% more, i.e. around 30km, which would be OK for [...]

These results are much like my previous ones. Close to buildings or other difficult places the N9 GPS performs significantly worse than the Garmin. This is somewhat surprising since the N900 performs very similar to a Garmin. Could better GPS-data on the N9 be just a software-update away? When is someone going to try to [...]

My legs aren't exactly recovered from Saturday's marathon, but a slow 5k jog anyway today. Sports Tracker was released for the N9 last week (or was it earlier?), so I thought I'd do some GPS testing. Held Garmin Edge 800 in my right hand and the N9 in my left. The results aren't that great [...]

Rautaveden marathon, the last 'big' marathon in the Finnish running calendar, loops around lake rautavesi around 50km west of Tampere. Rogaining and biking earlier in the fall together with a week of flu meant that it was either this event, or possibly Åland a week earlier (but that would have been more of a hassle [...]
25k in 2h 40min (avg pace 6:25/km) with avg HR 139. This is about the longest training run I will do in preparation for a marathon - I think. Some training programs advocate increasing the long-run distance up to 30k and above, but many others claim the risk of injury or overtraining increases dramatically when [...]

I normally don't run many laps around a short loop, but in the combination of heavy winds, heavy rain, lightning, and thunder yesterday evening I thought it would be nice to stay close to home. After 2k of warmup I tried to keep the pace up. The fastest kilometer was 4:53 and the slowest 5:11.

4.2km course. Ran about 5.45km in a time of 1h 4 mins. A bit of a loop when searching for #1. Between #2-#3 there's some unnecessary zigzag. #5-#6 should have probably taken a straighter path on compass heading through the woods to the open clearing (now just ran along paths). Otherwise OK orienteering-wise, but quite [...]
