Kanata Ave Orienteering Practice Thursday Orienteering Practice
April 21st 2022 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizer: Jeff Teutsch (Coach)
Map: All Saints HS
Parking and meeting point: We will meet at the gravel parking lot in Goldrige Park on Goldrige Dr as shown here and the map below. Parking is free. Or be green and take public transit or bike.
Training: As it's still very early in the season, this practice session will focus on careful map reading so you always know where you are. This is an important stepping stone to being able to orienteering faster and more confidently later in the season. This is a fun sprint standard area combining some complicated little patches of forest and some suburban parks. The intermediate level and anyone else who wants to tag along will be doing a map walk with an instructor. You will go out as a group and get some instructions and tips from one of our experienced coaches to kick start your season.
Advanced orienteers will have a series of courses in different parts of the map where paying careful attending to detail will pay off.
There will be some tips and helpful advice from one of our coaches at the start of the practice and there will be coaches around throughout to give you feedback.
Team Canada and Train to Train program athletes will start with a group warm-up that anyone is welcome to join.
Please e-mail Jeff Teutsch at jeff@ottawaoc.ca by noon on Thursday to reserve a map. We do not guarantee maps for those that don't send an e-mail (though as this is the first practice of the season we will have a few extras printed).
