I did 3 sessions of orienteering, on the first session Olive and I came second, on the second we didn't place and on the third time we had lily in our group and came second with a time of 8 minutes and 18 seconds.
On Friday 12th of June we went down to the Rawhiti domain for 2 hours to do orienteering. I was in a team with Lily and Olive, our team name was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and we came second out of 7 teams. We worked with the person who came first because he was the only person in his team, he only bet us because he started 2 minutes after us so he had a better time then us since he got back at the same time as us.
Over the whole experience I learned how to use a compass although i'm still not very good at it, how to read a map better and the rules for orienteering.
Hi Ava. That looks like fun! I found it quite hard to read a map at first when I did orienteering, however when you get your bearings it gets easier, doesn't it. The photos are great also.
ReplyDeleteHi Ava, Its awesome that you are learning new skills such as map reading. It sounds like you worked really well as a team to finish quickly. As your skills develop, I'm sure you will get even faster.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky, I think i have improved a lot and i can't wait to get even better!
DeleteKia Ora Ava,
ReplyDeleteWell done for placing second out of 7 teams at the Rawhiti Domain orienteering course. It's great that you worked with Cayden to find markers. You showed excellent team work skills. I would like you to give the Christchurch City council orienteering courses a go.
