Friday, November 21, 2003 Quick notesJust a few quick notes tonight (I don't have much time to write):1. Check out this blog about making an O' map. I've only just glanced at it, but it looks interesting. Even orienteers who have no interest in making maps can probably learn something about orienteering if they understand a bit about how mappers work. 2. Record number of visitors? I think this web page usually gets about 40 visits a day. I just looked at today's site statistics and saw 159 visits today (with a few hours still left). That's probably a record. The reason? Orienteeringonline.net linked to yesterday's entry. 3. A record number of visitors, but none of them added themselves to the "guest map." Click on the guest map link to the right to see the map...and if you're not already in the guest map, add yourself. 4. Training in the terrain = running on the basketball court. I think an orienteer needs to spend a lot of time running in the forest. Running on the roads is fine, but it doesn't get you the technique you need to run in the forest. The new Kansas basketball coach had made a lot of changes compared to Roy "I don't believe in Astronomy" Williams. One change is that Kansas doesn't do much (if any) running training except running on the court. Williams used to have the team run on the track as a test at the beginning of the season. Bill Self, the new coach, thinks that to be a basketball player you should train by running on the court. 5. It has nothing to do with orienteering...but Kansas opened the basketball season tonight by beating UTC. Having a new coach makes watching the games interesting. It will be fun to learn about a new offense and defense. After watching the Roy William's coached team for years, I didn't see much new or different. With a new coach, I see some new stuff. It is fun to watch. posted by Michael | 9:25 PM
