| Traditional scout night orienteering race - NOT. Did a solid job today. The team was 4 old members + one new. Orienteering itself was good, 5 minutes out of the 0 time limit. We ran on topo map 1:25k and have been one of the few teams without a GPS - running on plain compass. We have been quite good. ;)
Terrain was - green, green and green. Partly light green. ;) It was frustrating. Part of the time, but - it was a nice course anyway.
Orienteering mistakes have been only done when approaching attackpoints and catching features. E.g. we made a great mistake following azimuth to the major road for 500m. When there, we attacked CP's with a confidence and never really failing there.
We have been 2nd on the "speed" leg, which is great.
Technical skills have been good. For me - I am very pleased with all my tests. We need to make some more team effort the next time for the top. |
