Event: QOC Clopper Lake
Orienteering 30:00 [2]
We drove out to Clopper Lake in the rain for the Mid-Atlantic Junior Team training. I put out controls and then ran back to organize the juniors and lead the training.
Running 30:00 [2]
Running to and from the junior training.
We had a really good group today: 17 juniors including the usual suspects (Alexis, Diana, Josh, Sam, and Turner) plus a whole slew of newcomers from Patriot and Loudon County NJROTC programs. I had them do a mass-start one-person relay, which was a fun training to do with such a big group: fast and furious. I told Turner and Josh that they had five loops to do and challenged them to finish their five loops before anyone else finished their four.
They were close to succeeding, but Nate from Loudon and Zach from Patriot (JDT) beat them out. I then had each kid collect one control before jogging back to the parking lot.
Definitely a successful training, and really fun to have such a big group. I think in the future, I need to have a second adult present for groups of over 10 juniors or so. Also, I need to make it clear to parents and coaches how long the training will take so they aren't waiting around wondering where we are.
