> Dear Mum,
> 
> Greetings from training camp in Sweden! The journey to Sweden was long but exciting. The 
> flight from Prague took about two hours. I had a window seat, so I had the chance to enjoy 
> some great views. In Stockholm, I was supposed to hop on a train, but I was late, and the train 
> had already left. There wasn’t another train going in my direction for nearly two hours. So, I 
> waited, got on that one and was lucky my trainer was still waiting to pick me up when I finally 
> arrived at the station near our training camp.  What a patient man! Before he drove me to the 
> hostel the day I arrived, he had taken other athletes from our orienteering club in that same 
> car all the way from Prague. They had to spend eight hours on a ferry to cross the sea from 
> Germany to Sweden. What a cool man! If I had to use a ferry instead of the plane, I wouldn’t go. 
> 
> When I finally got to the training camp hostel, I was tired but also excited to start the training. 
> The hostel is in a forested area, so I was surprised to find there is a big town not far from it. 
> At home, there are usually large forests near villages, not near towns and cities like here. The 
> nearest village is more than thirty miles away. I also thought the hostel would be located near 
> the mountains, but it is flat here. I’m glad because the weather’s really hot and running uphill 
> would make us sweat even more. I miss having water around to cool down in. But thanks to 
> our days spent training near lakes at a far distance from the hostel, there is a chance to have a 
> swim.
> 
> The accommodation is basic but comfortable. I was looking forward to spending time with my 
> friend Julia and sharing a room with her. However, I learned that everybody here must stay on 
> their own as there aren’t rooms for more than one person. Some people appreciate staying in 
> a room with one bed, they say they can relax better that way after training hard. I would still 
> rather share a room with Julia. She was also disappointed when I texted her. She is on her way 
> over here now as she was sick and couldn’t leave for Stockholm with me. I just hope I’m not 
> going to get sick because I hate being alone when I’m not feeling well. 
> 
> The food is tasty here, and we get plenty of it. For breakfast, we typically have bread and 
> cheese or yogurt. I only wish there were eggs, which I love having in the morning and which 
> I never eat at any other time of the day. Lunch and dinner are usually warm meals. We’ve been 
> told that meatballs will be served a few times during our stay. I’m looking forward to trying 
> them here. We had the opportunity to try some fish yesterday and it wasn’t bad, but I’d prefer 
> the meatballs anyway. Desserts are always simple, just pudding or some cookies. So, we’ve 
> decided to bake a pie for ourselves as there are giant blueberries everywhere. There will finally 
> be time for it tomorrow.
> 
> We train hard in the Swedish woods and we learn new techniques. Whenever I make a mistake, 
> my trainer encourages me. And I trust him. We learn how to run fast in these woods full of big 
> stones and it’s much more difficult than I expected. Also, map reading is very different at this 
> training camp compared to what we’re used to, which is an unpleasant surprise. There aren’t 
> many paths here, and all the places look the same. But none of this bothers me. Often, we’re 
> not patient enough and for a moment we regret being here. But improvement needs hard 
> work, right? I know we must always remember the basic skill: quick decision-making. Of course, 
> it can lead to more mistakes, but we mustn’t be afraid to make them. It will only help us not to 
> repeat the same mistakes in the future.

> Love, Adele
