Note
The final part of the Coaching Clinic was to run the exercises of the others in our group. We had four people so with my two, we ran five O training exercises as follows:
Miscellaneous Orienteering (Training Exercise) 19:55 [2]
An exercise to develop Rough Compass skills. We were given a sheet of paper with approximate directions and distances, and the feature of the control point and asked to run the course. The only problem with the sheet I received was a typo that sent me in the wrong direction. I finally found the second to last control point and from then on I ran it backwards. Once I'd figured that out it was a good exercise.
Miscellaneous Orienteering (Training Exercise) 19:56 [2]
Exercise 2 was a line O with numerous controls along the line. The line was quite complex and it took me a bit before I was able to read the map comfortably and up my running pace while still paying attention for controls. I missed two of them... :-(
Miscellaneous Orienteering (Training Exercise) 9:56 [2]
The first of my exercises was a Window O exercise focusing of Precision Compass and a bit of Precision Map skills. I cut out a window just big enough for a little bit of info around the control circle.
Miscellaneous Orienteering (Training Exercise) 6:11 [4]
A Corridor O exercise emphasising Rough Map reading skills. I ran this at a comfortable tempo pace.
Miscellaneous Orienteering (Training exercise) 14:03 [2]
My second exercise I call "Leading the Blind" Two people go out together with one map. The person with the map runs behind the other person and tells them how to navigate to the next control. They switch off the map at each control.
