March Mapness in October
My next update will be Monday (post U.S. champs).
Special Fall Edition of March Mapness
Buckley just finished up his special October version of "March Mapness." His plan was to train on a map every day in October. He made it. Impressive. The stats look good:
Days: 31 Days on a map: 31 Total maps: 33 Orienteering maps: 31 Sessions with technical merit: 21 Sessions with near or above threshold effort: 17 Sessions with neither (fluff): 6 Total time navigating: 29 hours 25 minutes Total controls visited (includes training locations not marked with a flag): 663
I'm inspired. I might just put together my own March Mapness in the spring (maybe even in March!). It might be fun to try.
For something completely different...check out this night O' course from Aspleaf.
