Orienteering 1:40:00 [1]
shoes: VJ Bold (Aug 12)
Long terrain run/orienteering in Daniel's home terrain on Kroppefjäll. Really nice terrain, and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Picked up controls and looked for lost juniors on the way back in.
It was the end of year gathering for the Bohuslän-Dal juniors. I was asked to give a short presentation on orienteering in Canada as well as on WOC 2012. I agreed to try and present it in Swedish for the young kids, and thought that I would manage with some practice and help from Daniel.
Was a bit rushed getting the presentation together and didn't have any time to practice, but went over what I was going to say during the run. Found out shortly beforehand that I would also be presenting to all the parents and a bunch of Bohuslän-Dal AGM meeting attendees. It ended up being a roomfull of 90 people!
I was really nervous, but managed to get through it ok by trying to keep the focus on talking to the kids. I had lots of maps and pictures to try and keep everyone distracted.
Got some nice comments and feedback, and people seemed to enjoy it! They gave Daniel and I a nice pointsetta, and asked us to help present the prizes to the juniors.
A great day!
