Gorgeous day, sunny, high 40s. Had tossed out the option on the Strider group if anyone wanted to join me for some easy O / mini clinic on map reading and navigation. Picked up Michael L. in East Hartford and headed west. Bill Duncan just heading out when we arrived and caught up with Lynn around #4. Did #1-#1 ordering, not sure if I got all the splits. Basically three hours doing intro to map and basic concepts. Jogging here and there but mostly just walking so Michael could absorb and figure it all out. Good nav all the way around, took some routes I might not have done if solo just for the teaching value. Michael chose routes and lead most of the way from 11-Fin and said he felt a lot more confident at the end.
A few other folks chimed in that they were interested but couldnt do a weekday, so perhaps I'll do trail runner clinics for the rest of the series too.
