Where is your favourite place to orienteer?
MC-D:  "In Britain, probably the sand dunes on the Gower - I love racing the local events there as the dunes are technical but you can run fast and take lots of risks which I find really fun! Elsewhere, I love any gorgeous forests, especially South West Finland where there’s lots of bare rock." 

What is your favourite training session?
MC-D:  "It has to be “trains” or “sprintervals” (depending on whether you’re in forest or urban). These are short orienteering intervals where you and your friends have a small start interval (like 15s) and race for a few controls at a time." 

How are you preparing for the World Championships in August?
MC-D:  "I’ve spent most of the year training physically while at University and since then I have mostly been focussing on orienteering regularly and making sure I do some high-quality races. I also spent some time in Latvia with some teammates recently to prepare for the forest races specifically." 

Who or what will be your biggest threat?
MC-D:  "Probably all the cafés with cakes for just 50cents"  ;) 

Thank you, Megan. Congratulations again on being selected to compete in the World Orienteering Championships.

We wish you all the best with the rest of your preparation!
