Ran a Mass Start drill our group had about 25 people and we had 4 different maps... We all started at the same time and ran about 100 yds to the start punch.... and then people headed off every which way... this was to get us not to be bothered by other people running all around you.... It was fun and a great little workout... there were a few people yelling oh hell wrong control....
3 PM

Orienteering (Start drill) 28:02 [2] 0.88 mi (31:52 / mi)

Jogged and walked a start drill.... this was to go through the steps you should do at the start of each leg.... you started found your control and then had to move to a finish spot which was where the next start was.. and then you looked at a new map.....
