TOC's Wednesday night training at High Park. I brought Smirnov, and as this was his first course, I decided to accompany him. The terrain made interesting legs difficult to set, as there was thick vegetation on most off-trail sections. We alternated who led on each leg - he took the odds, I took the evens. I asked him to explain what he was planning, what he expected to see, and how he wanted to get there, and when I was leading, I verbally described my plan, what I was thinking, and what I would and did see.
I think he enjoyed the outing, though the terrain wasn't ideal. He has had a gimpy foot for a few months, so it's unclear if he will do it in the future. I will try to invite him to the Turkey Trot.
