Practice details:
This week will be the first Thursday Practice on a sprint map since July so we'll be revisiting some important sprint concepts.
The exercise will consist of a series of 1.5 - 2km orienteering loops. There will be pin flags out for controls. For the intermediate and advanced participants we will discuss sprint techniques and you will pick a different one to work on on each loop. Team Canada athletes should treat this as a cruise/tempo interval session while trying to be as smooth as possible with their navigation.Train to Train athletes will get additional direction from coach Jeff but will be doing the same basic exercise.
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.
