Weekend of O'
Saturday, Mary and I drove out to Knob Noster. Knob Noster is the best area around here for orienteering. The forest is runnable, the terrain is interesting and the map is good. Check out the map with Brian May's routes from a race a couple of years ago.
Today, Mary and I drove out to SMP. Possum Trot O' Club hosted a local event at SMP. SMP is ok. The terrain is nothing special. The map is a bit sketchy in places. The forest isn't runnable, but you can make good time because there are a lot of roads, trails and open areas. PTOC uses SMP a couple of times a year and I train there regularly (it is one of the most convenient places to train).
Check out my route on today's race. (Sorry about the poor quality of the scan....I don't know if the problem is my scanner, my scanning technique, the ink jet printing of the map, or a combination of all those problems).
