February 3, 2025 by Caroline Sandbo
2024-2025 Season WIOL#7 Offered Training Package
Race Prep
Preview 2020 Fire Mountain races on COC’s Routegadget
- Pick a course relevant to your own/ your students’.
- Plan your routes for each leg and consider: How do I travel through a “green” map like this without getting caught in dense vegetation? What shortcuts can I use? Do I usually travel faster by taking the trails around or cutting through the woods?
- Watch any available GPS tracks for that race and compare the competitor’s routes to your own planned ones.
Day of Meet
On-site training (meet Caroline at Coaches Corner near Parking)
- Available 8:30 – 11:00 am
- A map memory exercise: at the start you will be able to study a map showing the first control, plan your route, and then execute it by memory. You’ll repeat this process to memorize and find each control on the mini-course.
- Beginner and advanced courses available. 500 meters and 700 meters, respectively. They make for a great warm-up!
- No print-outs available for this exercise. All needed materials will be available at the Coaches Corner.
