| Note | |
| |
| We did an orienteering event with the Kings Valley Charter school at Whispering Winds Girl Scout Camp. It was interesting to see what a wide range of abilities you get from a general population of kids. First rule, you cannot make it too easy. When course setting, I put one of the controls off of the main road on a side trail to make things a little more difficult. Big disaster! When I checked on things while they were running the course, *most* of the teams were floundering around looking for this control. Maybe if the map was better. I was quite proud of the 2 super teams, one boys team and one girls team, who crushed everyone else. |

I was quite pleased with my run despite the slow time. I hit pretty much all of the controls without too much trouble. Got hung up in the brush a few times. I'm definitely the opposite of flyt in the forest. What would that be? Running like velcro? Like cotton candy?
