Event: UNO Boulder Dash 2-Day Classic A-Meet
 

Boulderdash

Pretty poor navigation on my part the first half, then improved slightly.

Great terrain. Fun times, even if the colours (mostly green) were a little disappointing.

"educational technologies"? Sometimes I despair...

There's a talk on "stochastic orienteering" at work next week.

5.5, 5.6, 5.7- with one take, 5.6 with a few takes. Arms were shot on the last one. Plus a V0.

BM.
Slowrienteering. Still beat Transvestali to the first two controls... then she went off far, far away and I pottered around a little loop. Found a guitar case with guitar inside at one control.

Perfect weather.

Three people from work came out yesterday.

From a first-timer, sent to a second-timer:
"Oh, and thanks for a fun day of orienteering! I always wanted to try
running around in the woods off-trail and it's great to be able to do
it safely."
The other first-timer apparently had fun, but not ecstatic...

From 'chat' with the second-timer :

"was just laughing...imagining what a map might look like for a course in the saharan desert. or something like tht.
a lone tree, mirage (variable), contours (depends on the winds)..."

Re WOC Middle GPS replay:
"Oh its so cute to watch!
for some reason last time i could only see 2 at a time.
some of these guys got seriously lost!"
"poor WEN"
"you can learn something from watching these guys, to see how they nagivate the contours off trail"

Re "using" re-entrants/depressions at WOC: "what do you mean by "use" you mean just use them as landmarks? or actually just try to run into them even it is slightly off route"

Re photos:
"hilarious how people are racing with their reading glasses
love it"
"76 is funny too"
