Orienteering race 48:57 [4] *** 5.8 km (8:26 / km)
spiked:11/13c
A very easy course at Island Crest Park on Mercer Island (Sammammish Orienteering Club). The course was basically a long yellow course -- entirely on trials. Participants who went off trail were DQ'ed. It was a nice chance to get a good run in and to see COC's WIOL program in action. WIOL is very impressive -- probably over 100 local high schoolers competing today. The trail network was a little complicated in places, but for the most part the navigational demands were pretty minimal. Maps were printed on waterproof paper, eliminating the need for plastic map cases.
