After a trial run at orienteering at Lincoln Park a few weeks ago, we had our first serious race today at Fort Ebey State Park. The race was a score-O so, like a street scramble, we had a list of controls to visit of various point values and had to decide how to maximize points and still get to the finish within two hours. The trails were steep, curvy, and sometimes through dense forest so it was a lot slower going than our urban scrambles. The course setter was a huge fan of placing controls at the bottom of "kettles" which are large depressions about 50-60 m deep. This meant for each control we achieved, we had to climb back up a hill in order to get to the next one. Tim is not so sure of our ending score, but I feel like we did pretty good. As soon as they are posted, I'll be sure to update with our results.
