Maps for Talon

This is map showing the main transition. Doing the south loop (shown next) was worth 8 points, where as doing CP 40 - 43 would have been worth 9 points. Our strategy was to get both and since CP 41 and 43 were near the main TA we would have been able to return quickly as we approached 5:30 PM. Unfortunately we ran out of time while heading to CP41 after making a small nav error in estimating the location.

Our strategy was after the orienteering sections to do this loop. We did 36 (just north of map), 38, 37, and then 39 in that order. Our plan was to return and get 43, 41, and 42 with the remaining time.

This was the first orienteering leg of the Rogaine section. We parked our bikes near 24 and did 24 - 25 (up in tree) - 26 - 23, went back to bikes and rode to 32 where we crossed the ditch and then came back.

This was the 2nd orienteering section we did on the Rogaine leg. We parked the bikes south of CP 17 and did 27 - 28 - 29 - 30 - and 31. We moved through this section very fast.

The first orienteering section - note that 15 is off the map to the east, and 18 is not shown (off map to the west). That is simply the scan. We ended up doing 15 - 16 - 20 - 19 - 18 and then looping back around for 17.

The passport - note that CP 30, 31, and 32 were hard to read as it was raining when we wrote them down. CP 31 (3 points) was not credited to our team as I mistranscribed the letter onto the final sheet.
