Note
Starting thinking seriously about doing the Dec Chill, until I saw the outrageous prices for both registration and canoe, $110 total. Really!!??
Orienteering 46:00 [2] ***
shoes: Vasque Velocity
Night-O field checking (sorta) for Badlands course.
Didn't realize the park closes at 10pm, so my arrival at 8:45 pm didn't give me much time. But picked out a few of the more intricate controls and tried those out. That's ok because I had already ran the area when we were checking in the summer and still remembered it.
Wow- I could tell its been a very long time since I've orienteered at night as I was really struggling to stay on top of it. Even made a 180 error too! Doesn't help that I'm using old school orienteering compass temporarily since I lost my thumb compass, but the main thing is I better spend some more time doing orienteering at night because I'm totally not proficient at all.
It was so awesome out there at night and must say Badlands will be a perfect night-O venue! It should be very enjoyable... and some challenges too.
