Practice details:
This week we are again on a sprint map. Actually, two sprint maps.
For the intermediate group we will do a map walk around the UQO campus and some of the NCC woods along the river.
For the advanced group are putting a fun twist on sprint training with a partner exercise in which participants get to challenge each other to race some short sprint loops. Here are the rules:
- Whoever does the challenging gets to pick the loop.
- The person (or people) that was challenged then respond with how much of a headstart (or lag) they get with the goal of finishing the course at the same time as the challenger.
- Based on the time give by the person that was challenged the challenger gets to pick which direction each person does the loop in.
Train to Train athletes will get additional direction from coach Jeff but will be doing the same basic exercise.
There will be pin flags out for controls. All participants should also bring a compass (we will have a few extras if you don't have one) and, optionally, a control description holder.
