For our second meet of the year, Mother Nature put down the red carpet for
those orienteers venturing out into the rugged, untamed wilderness of Ann
Morrison Park. Saturday, February 24 dawned cool, clear and crisp, but
temperatures by meet time had warmed up to the mid-forties, with a light
breeze -- perfect orienteering weather!
The beginner and intermediate courses were both "standard" loops, with the
beginner course being 1.57km in length, 7 controls, with negligible climb,
and the intermediate course being 2.89km in length, 10 controls, with 10m of
climb (if that much). The Advanced course was a "line" orienteering course
-- lines were drawn on the map, with the control possibly *anywhere* along
that line. Once the control was found, competitors then went to the end of
the line, and started a new leg with a new line. This course was 3.84km in
length, 11 controls, and perhaps 10m of climb.
