My Orienteering Meet

I know that many of the people who read this blog live in Anchorage, so here’s a little self-promotion…

I am organizing the orienteering meet this Wednesday evening, June 4, at mile 2.2 of Campbell Airstrip Road (north side of Bivouac Trailhead).  There will be courses for all abilities, including people who have never orienteered before.

Come on out and give it a try.  You can show up anytime between 5 and 7 PM.  If you’ve never done it before, I’ll help you get started.  All you need to bring is yourself.  Long pants (beware devil’s club!) and a compass are recommended for any of the intermediate or expert courses.

To get you fired up to do some orienteering, here is the RouteGadget race from last week’s meet.  I had a very good day!

The meet was a success (at least I think so).  It was probably a little on the easy side for the experts and a little on the difficult side for the novices.  I thought that might happen, as a side-effect of me deliberately trying to find the best terrain for running.  Watch the Routegadget
