Orienteeri ng December Kelly Park

I was not able to make it out to the regular orienteering at Kelly park because of work, but I was able to make it to pick up flags. It was pretty exciting due to the fact that I need to run in under 2 hours (back to the Kelly Park entrance to finish before it got dark. The course was great - and i did take a little video to show how the woods in Wekiva looked



The course required some really technical orienteering with challenging controls that precluded the use of trails (and a lot of landmarks). Also the challenge of tying the flags while running made it a lot of fun. And since I am putting up orienteering video - I have to post a link to my favorite Orienteering Video - this one really captures the spirit and the reckless abandon of orienteering - and defines it as a sport that can be pretty extreme.
