Tomorrow's event at Hawn
I'm heading off to run the 3-hour score event at Hawn State Park. Fritz and I leave Kansas City in about two hours. The race begins tomorrow morning at 11. We'll run three hours then drive home. Looks like about ten or eleven hours of driving for three hours of running. It should be fun.
Hawn is a great place for orienteering -- nice terrain and a good map. To see the terrain, take a look at Peter's maps from the last spring's A-meet: day one and day two.
I've never been very successful at score orienteering. I don't have much success picking good routes. I don't really like the format (I much prefer point-to-point orienteering, solving the course setter's problems). But, three hours of running around in a nice forest with a good map and finding controls will be fun.
I'll try to update the page tomorrow from my phone.
