Since there weren't many takers for the scout-O, I ran Sunday's red course and gave Jim an idea how it was. (I'll be traveling to Forestville (near Fredonia) to celebrate my grandmother's birthday - she'll be 100 Monday!-)
As I wasn't prepared to O, I didn't have my compass, and put in place one of Rob's suggestions - getting out on a map without one;-)
It was interesting. I spent more time navigating (and with the morning's workout up cardiac, I was somewhat spent already), and was using all the non-compass clues I could get - lining up the map and features more, the sun, counting.
Overall it was a great success, and I was happy with one section where I guided by a good feel of what I saw on the map and in front of me - it might have been rather indistinct otherwise. When I came to the control, I didn't see the specific feature immediately, but realized I was exactly where I wanted to be - and then found it right there, just out of view.
This was a good exercise and lesson, and I'll have to try it again.
For tomorrow - definitely a runner's course, I expect to see times much faster than my sluggish legs could manage.
