Course setting / field checking Peaceful Valley CSOL championship Orange. Hopefully there aren't herds of cattle mobbing a control during the event like happened today. Hopefully the electrical fences aren't up like they were today. Map is mostly accurate but some trails have disappeared and as usual this western US mapping is challenged by the trees situation. This will probably be a challenging orange course but given that its a championship race that's probably the way it should be. Course will be 4.6 km w/ 125m climb which will separate the fast orienteers from the just fast runners.

CY17 control goal count = 522

Field checking Peaceful Valley Ranch

Course setting / field checking Peaceful Valley Ranch CSOL championship Yellow course. A few places with good route choice moments and a few places that will reward those who choose handrails or x-country off the trails, but trails are always still an option. Will be a true Yellow at 2.8 km and 75m climb max.

Field checking Peaceful Valley Ranch

Course designing for CSOL championships, and also finally got around to Armchair-O'ing the 2016 World Military Championships Long course in Brazil. Also worked on my training plan for 2017 World Military Championships. With my spring natl's season now complete, time to take a breather and re-evaluate where I'm at and how to prepare for the military champ's. Assuming we get a budget passed USA may be going so I should probably focus on more deliberate prep in case I'm going too.
