Orienteering Info

That was a lot of fun last night, not only did we have great 1600 m times, speedball was a blast. It was a good number of participants, a good mix of alums and enrolled students, and we played for about 40 minutes. Good times, good times.

After the game, we talked about the orienteering race that is next Saturday, July 19th. I encourage all of you to go, I think it would be a great experience. Below is the link to pre-register. You need to pre-register by next Thursday, so they can make enough maps of the course for everyone. You can pay when you get there, but pre-registration is a must. Since we are all beginners, we will be signing up for the white/yellow beginner courses.

Registration starts at 12:30, since the race is in Woodland Park, 1.5 hours away, I suggest we meet at Lamar's Doughnuts on Lincoln at 10:00. (That gives us 1/2 hour lee-way time.) We will be doing the short beginner courses, but I still have no idea when we will be home. It should be a very fun day, though, and the links to pre-register are right here:

Pre-registration for July 19th race

Tidbits about orienteering

I am going to email the director right now, to see if he can get us a little extra help before the race in learning how to do this, we will need all the help we can get! :)
