People who did not keep time.. | and just had fun! |

Ross organized a very fun training excercise for the final WET event of the season : a self-timed (honor system) race focused on honing your attack skills. The idea was to focus less on the actual control feature itself (ie Pit, building, cliff etc) and more on the surrounding features leading up to that control (ie - long row of trees, series of cliffs, etc). Using so called "catching features" is a valuable skill in orienteering and can help you stay on track, hit controls with more accuracy and avoid over/under running a control. Thanks to Ross for creating a fun training event at Beacon Hill Park. Because this was a self-timed event, the times are not fully accurate and many people decided to lose the watch and just enjoy the excercise. So congrats to Ben who "probably" won.. :)
Thanks to all who participated in WET this year - we'll be back again next summer for more amazing orienteering training. Be sure to check the regular club website for upcoming public events (http://whyjustrun.ca) or follow us on Facebook - (Victoria Orienteering).
Thanks and see you out there!

Tonight Linda + Marie organized an awesome Scatter-O event at Uvic. For this event, you must collect ALL 20 controls, but in any order you choose. Racers could choose to do the course on foot or bike, with a long and short course options. India and Scott came out on top for the Bike category, with an ultra speedy ride. Andrey's foot is clearly feeling a lot better as he smoked the competition by a huge margin for fastest time on foot. Thanks to all who helped stay and clean up. We are losing light fast, and only have one remaining WET event of the season - hope to see you next week!

Andrey organized a very fun and challenging dog-bones event. Controls were grouped in pairs or "dog-bones" on the map. You could obtain the controls in any order you wanted, but once you started a dog-bone pair you needed to get it's counterpart. The length of bone varied and navigation strategy came into play big time. Thanks to all who made it out, and huge thanks to Andrey for putting on a fun event!
