Notas do Editor
- Your reward may be a podium finish, just crossing the finish line, meeting and overcoming a challenge, or just learning something about yourself. First or last, you will be better for the experience.
- - Working together is absolutely critical – everyone has low points - helping teammates through their low point and letting teammates help you through yours makes the team SIGNIFICANTLY faster – no low point = not working to full potential in the team – tow, take weight, talk, lose ego when you’re too slow – feel good? = go faster – your team is only as fast as you are ALL willing to work.
- - Weather plays a significant role – finish rate in longer races = high if good weather – higher rank if your team can deal with elements safely and strategically – teams that drop are discouraged by tough conditions – preparation for keeping warm and ‘dry’ keep racers happier – fast & light = freeze at night – the more you move, the warmer you are; stopping = cold!
- - Importance of navigation increases as race length increases (short races = can’t get lost) – racecourses are unmarked, chose route and use map and compass to stay on it – traveling fast the wrong way = low probability of reaching goals – practice makes perfect / make your mistakes while practicing – orienteering = great learning – another reason why older teams do well as they are pragmatic in their decisions
- - more prepared = more fun, better chance of fulfilling goals – choosing and packing gear carefully – knowing what to expect on raceday / read competitor newsletters – ask others about their experiences / pitfalls
- - Weather plays a significant role – finish rate in longer races = high if good weather – higher rank if your team can deal with elements safely and strategically – teams that drop are discouraged by tough conditions – preparation for keeping warm and ‘dry’ keep racers happier – fast & light = freeze at night – the more you move, the warmer you are; stopping = cold!
- Safety net, never put in position of peril / against will, walk around ropes, expert rope / water / medical crews, CARA safety guidelines, radio usage
- Go at your own pace – going to places that humans don’t typically go – take camera – to intense = no fun, poor teamwork, poor results – different cultures in foreign races
- Yes you can!
