Day one of the awesome multi-club training camp. This day's exercises by Kseniya et al.
11 AM
Orienteering (O-intervals) 1:02:12*** 4.3 km (14:28 / km) +679ft11:40 / km ahr:122 max:163 16c shoes: Icebug Spirit #1
At Mountain Lakes Park in North Salem, NY. This forest is beautiful and relatively open, but its features seem subtle and feel subtly mapped - so I had to read the map very carefully. I did not do so on the way to the first marker, but after circling the marker blindly for quite some time, learned my lesson. Proceeded more carefully and consequently with less error the rest of the way.
1 PM
Orienteering (practice) 57:06*** 4.3 km (13:17 / km) +433ft11:31 / km ahr:127 max:162 14c shoes: Icebug Spirit #1
At Westmoreland Sanctuary in Mt. Kisco, NY. This forest felt physically quite rough after Mountain Lakes, with prickly things and sharpish rocks everywhere :-). Also, I had to run the course before any but the last two markers were set, which added to the navigational challenge.
