Parc Mousette Orienteering Practice Thursday Orienteering Practice
April 18th 2019 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizers: Jeff Teutsch (Coach), Stefan Bergstrom (Coach)
Parking and meeting point: We will be meeting in the Parc Mousette parking lot off of Boulevard Lucerne for a 6:30 start.
Training: This practice will be about detailed map reading.
The intermediate group will go for a map walk with a coach and will discuss thumbing along (keeping track of where you are as you go) and reading the features as you look for the feature with the control among other features.
The advanced group will have two sets of 3 loops through different types of terrain. The idea is to take the first loop slow and keep track of where you are all the time. The second set of loops revisits many of the same controls but from different directions. This time you should do the loops as fast as you can while still knowing enough where you are to find the controls with 100% confidence.
There will be control descriptions.
Train to Train athletes will do either the intermediate course or the advanced course as appropriate.
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.
