CANCELLED - Pinecrest Park Orienteering Practice Thursday Orienteering Practice
April 9th 2020 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizer: Jeff Teutsch (Coach)
Map: Pinecrest Park
Parking and meeting point: We will meet in the North corner of the the Pinecrest Recreation Complex parking lot off Cobden Rd as shown in the map. Parking is free. Or be green and take public transit or bike.
Training: As this is the first practice of the season the session will be designed to get you back into the routine and flow of orienteering and map reading. 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 getting gradually more challenge to practice your map reading and your 'flow'.
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.
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 (though as this is the first practice of the season we will have a few extras printed).
