Walter Baker Park Navigation Training Thursday Orienteering Practice
October 18th 2018 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizers: Jeff Teutsch (Coach), Stefan Bergstrom (Coach)
Map: Walter Baker Park
Parking and meeting point: Meet at the little shelter north of the Kanata Recreation Complex. Park in the main parking lot.
Training: The training exercise is all about control descriptions.
For the advanced, Train to Train, and HPP groups the control circles have been shifted on the map so, unlike normal, the control is not necessarily in the centre of the circle. You will need to read the control description to figure out where the control is in the circle. Controls are marked by pin flags. There will be multiple loops.
For the intermediate group there will be a series of loops with controls designed to get you to read and learn your control descriptions. The final loop will have no map in the inside of the control circle so you will have to find the flag (pin flag) by reading and understanding the control descriptions.
HPP and Train to Train program athletes will start with a group warm-up that anyone is welcome to join.
A reminder to please e-mail Jeff Teutsch at programs@ottawaoc.ca by noon on Thursday to reserve a map. We do not guarantee maps for those that don't send an e-mail.
