Compass course- Ran a course of 7 controls backwards with the areas between 3 of them whited out. Good training for using your compass and taking bearings. The first control took me a bit, I wasn't running and I had to get into the flow of orienteering but the rest were fine :) good idea

Short course- 10 controls with a bunch of the same controls as in the compass course in the beginning. Everything else went fine, no mistakes just spending a little bit of time searching for the streamer, I have to work on looking up and around.

Contour course- 13 controls.. Not as hard as I expected, got most of them right away but again spent a bit of time searching. I like this course, it is one thing to say you are simplifying with a normal map but this makes you simplify...there is nothing else to look at besides big swamps, trails and streams.Definetly my favorite course today :)

Great training session, nice to be able to train with others and have feedback on orienteering and running in general from Erin. :) talked about having a mentor or coach nearby to train with a couple times a week, thought that was a really good idea, I would get out a lot more if I had someone to give me pointers and design training with me.

C • I agree. the contours only... 1

Warm up got ready to orienteer by running in a follow the leader form through the woods, and jogged on trails
