walking 10:00 [1]



trail running 8:00 [3]

Union County O training at Hueston Woods. When we arrived, I led the kids on a short terrain run to a starting point on the service road. We regrouped there and did a short memory O exercise. Kids looked at a map, then left the map and had to run to a control 100 to 400 meters away, then return and tell me the code letter on the flagging tape (no actual control flag). Most kids did at least 2 of these. More experienced kids had to do combos of 2 or 3 controls at a time.
After that, 2 rounds of capture the flag. Each team had a mapped wooded territory of about 0.06 km2 (1:5000 map). Service road between the territories was neutral, and also the prison.
Then Noah P led us on a terrain jog back to the parking lot.

12 middle school students, 4 from the high school.

Hueston Woods - 5 control "walk and talk" with Skyler and Lissie. 18 students present for O' training. Brennan, Nathan, Jamie, and Alex also led walk and talks.

Lissie seemed really out of it today - not her usual bubbly self. It wasn't until afterwards that I asked Skyler about it, and found out that her sister had passed away on Tuesday and the funeral is tomorrow. So sorry to hear it - wish I had known soon enough to say something to Lissie.

Bill Yeck Park - red course set by Matt "King of Pain" Bond. Fun but hilly and thick with honeysuckle. 6 wet-foot stream crossings, 4 of them in the first 5 controls.

The giant tree at the top of the cliff is still standing, although it appears to be more than 50 percent undercut. And yes Matt put his traditional "rootstock beneath" control under it!

Dylan Dunaway 16:49
Eric Porter 17:55
Nate Burress 20:25

walking 30:00 [1]

With the wheel. Set up a 100 m pace count and the compass course. This is a course that requires use of compass and map together. In an open field, make a grid of 12.5 meter squares, 50 m wide and 75 m deep. At each intersection a number is painted on the ground. The map is white paper with a dot (OCAD boulder symbol) at each intersection. A 5 or 6 control course requires visiting particular intersections on sequence. Accuracy is self checked by matching the code number on the map to the number on the ground. This could be made competitive or could be graded by using placing an SI control unit on the ground at each point. But today I just did it with self checking.
