Orienteering Exercise: 1st control training

Key information
Exercise Type: Overspeed orienteering, Sprint orienteering
Target Level: Elite level, Junior level
Intensity: High
Preparation time: More than 30 minutes
OCAD Required: Yes
Min participants: 2

Many courses with only start and one or two controls. Several people start together (minimum of two), and the goal is to locate your position and run to the first control as fast as possible after turning the map around.

Aim: Training in getting a good and fast start to the first control when you pick up the map - typically important in sprint orienteering.
Variants: If you have longer courses, this training can be used as a kind of Orienteering intervals.
Aids: Should use OCAD in order to make many maps/courses.
Terrain: Not too hilly terrain. Urban terrain is also an option.
Preparations: Make many short courses, and put them in one bag for each new start point.
Tips: Ideal with 3 or 4 persons. Do not make all the courses on one map - that makes it too easy to cheat. Instead, at each new start, there is a bag with maps for the next course, and the next start is marked on the previous map.
