You do this on the right of this screen (if you don't see the "Register" button under each course descriptoin you will need to login or to create a WhyJustRun account). Online registration - it saves me lots of time, lets me know how many maps to print, lets other people know who's coming, and also helps with car pooling.</p> <h3>How to hold your map</h3> <p>It is a little bit tricky to hold a map while you ski with poles. Here are some ideas, from cheap and useless to pricy and great, about <a href="http://www.barebones.ca/ski%20O%20map%20holder.htm">how to hold your map</a>.</p> <h3>How to hold your SI punch</h3> <p>This event uses electronic punching, so you will need to carry an SI stick with you. SI rental is included in the entry fee. Here are some <a href="http://www.barebones.ca/ski%20O%20SI%20punch%20holder.htm">tips on how to carry an SI punch</a> so it doesn't fall off and so it is (relatively) easy to punch at the control.</p> <h3>Latest News</h3> <p>Dec 27: today I test-skied both the Spicy and the Medium courses for the New Years ski orienteering. A little bit tough, but nothing outrageous. Navigation is pretty good, thanks to recent map updates - it seems quite accurate to me. Some very complex route choices - some I have no idea what is the best route. Some off-trail routes are good, others are a big waste of time. All in all, a really fun course. So much so that I've created a new category - the Hot Tamale, which is the Spicy course (11km, 280m climb) followed by the Medium course (8km, 180m climb). </p> 1349 Hot Tamale Mark Gibbard 14303 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 9005301 19000 1349 Miles Tindal 10020 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 261512 19000 1349 David Roberts 7189 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 19000 1349 Spicy David Campden 2954 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 7000351 11000 1349 Mauricio Estevez 3739 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 11000 1349 Darya Sepandj 2991 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 2012266 11000 1349 Jane R 2789 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 353237 11000 1349 magali robert 6761 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 353263 11000 1349 Medium Anita Brattland 3869 61 OOC http://www.ottawaoc.ca/ 8000 1349 Lars Gibbard 3719 8000 1349 Megan Dunn 3746 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 8000 1349 Bridget Roberts 3747 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 8000 1349 Jen Silverthorn 2984 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 8000 1349 Terry Koleszar 3750 8000 1349 Maya Fish 3771 8000 1349 Cindy Koo 3772 8000 1349 Mild Pollie Lumby 3185 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 1349 Logan McBride 3740 1349 Mason McBride 3741 1349 Ethel Lumby 3742 1349 Colin Lumby 3743 1349 Charlotte MacNaughton 204 1 GVOC https://gvoc.whyjustrun.ca/ 999044 1349 Krysten Zissos 3744 1349 Sydney Zissos 3745 1349 ASHLEY SCOTT CAUSTON 3556 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 1349 Mardy Roberts 2680 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ 1349 Elinor Koleszar 3749 1349 Evan GIbbard 3718 1349 Nadia Fish 3773 1349
