Today's first race
Possum Trot O' Club hosts two races today. The first race began this morning at a place called Landahl. You can see the map with my routes below (click on an image to get higher resolution).
I like orienteering at Landahl. The forest is fairly thick and thorny. The stream banks are steep and slippery. The map is good. The park is full of mountain bike trails. A few new trails show up every time we orienteer there, which you have to remember when you come across an unexpected trail.
Landahl has a shooting range in the middle of the map. When you orienteer you hear gun shots. It is a bit strange, but you get used to it quickly.
I mentioned that PTOC hosts two races today. The second race is a night race at a park near Landahl. I'll be heading over there in an hour or so. It'll be interesting to see how my legs feel after running hard at Landahl for 55 minutes.
