Under senaste månaderna har flera olika löpare flyttat till Halden. Jag har bett dem att svara på några frågor. Hollie Orr, som nyligenen blivit uttagen till världscupen i juni och även till VM i augusti är först ut att svara.
How did you get in touch with Halden SK and why did you chose this club?
I was in Halden in 2011 completing an internship for my studies, therefore when at Christmas I decided to move abroad again it was the obvious choice. I had really enjoyed the training and the group last time, and knew it was somewhere i would feel comfortable.
Where do you come from? What did you do (studies, job) before coming to Halden and what do you do here now, besides training?
I grew up in Glasgow but i have been working for the last 2+ years in Barrow in the Lake District. I am a mechanical engineer and worked in the oil and gas industry. Now I am focus on learning Norwegian, looking for permanent employment here in Halden and stopping myself from loosing too many brain cells ;)
Tell me a bit about your orienteering background, your best results and/or also about your most exciting orienteering experience.
My parents found out about the sport when I was younger and I started to train more seriously when I went to University at 18. I love to explore new places and I think Annecy in France is where I have had the most fun orienteering...or getting lost!
What is your most favourite club training and how does the club environment differs from what you experienced earlier?
I love the group trainings in the forest, I think there is a great benefit from running and learning from others and what they do in the forest. However maybe I am a little bit bias since most of my trainings in the last 2 years have been on my own or with one of two others.
What do you expect from the club and how long do you plan to stay? Do you have any dreams/goals?
I expect to do some great training with some great people and enjoy all the club has to offer. I am initially here until Jukola when i will return to Scotland to prepare for VM. However I hope to be back in October if I can secure a permanent job. Of course i dream, my dream is to enjoy the journey and see what the best I can be is.
Do you have any favourite leg at Tiomila, favourite orienteering discipline, terrain?
My favourite is middle distance, I like it when there is a lot of details and rocks on the maps, the bigger the challenge the better.
Any (other) hobbies?
I like to cycle and all outdoor activities, at home I keep myself busy by doing a little bit of art and making cards.
Do you think and if so in which way can you enrich the club environment?
I hope in time i can give something back to the club, helping with organisation, training juniors etc.
