Training Log Archive: Becks

I went orienteering! The map was about a decade out of date and the controls were mostly hidden, but my word that was a lot of fun. I ran hard, made a couple of silly errors, a couple of map unsure errors, and stopped to talk to Rob and help a girl. I was pretty much hitting the limits of my run hard ability by the end. Rob did the orange too and the bad map and hidden controls were not great for people new to the sport - he said he found a small handful of people circling each control site and looking confused at the trail junctions that had 4 trails in them instead of 2. I don't think maps should necessarily be completely over hauled for an event this size, but a sign warning people that there were lots of new trails and the veg was out of date would have been really great.

Still, I have missed this!
