Information
<p>This WET will focus on <a href="https://www.learnorienteering.com/AdRouteChoice.html">route choices</a> as in a "Long" event. Distance between controls can be substantial (could be > 500m on some of the course this Wednesday). The challenge is to pick the optimal route choice while traveling at speed. To do so consider:</p><ul><li>estimated running distance of each route choice</li><li>elevation gain of each route choice</li><li>estimated <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjLKgSaNxQ0" target="_blank"><strong>risk</strong> </a>for each route choice versus others. "Risk" includes things like: potential for losing contact with the map, so how complex each choice is to navigate, runnability, etc... </li></ul><p>Especially on the longer course, there will be substantial elevation gain that will have to be accounted for when dialing your running speed for optimal route choice and on-the-fly implementation.</p><p><img src="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/6/2/59v_yRo6k2PVbMEv1IHCJg.jpg" alt="Beautiful Cleveland Dam forest in late afternoon sun" style="display: block; margin: auto;"></p><p><br></p><p>Most travel should remain on trails (some more obvious than others, but trails nevertheless) unless you are eager for another dose of tough orienteering like at <a href="https://gvoc.whyjustrun.ca/events/view/5778">Ioco</a>.<br><strong>Synopsis:</strong><br>(1) Easy-ish course : ~2.5km - 70m vertical <br></p><p>(2) Moderate course: ~ 3.1km - 70m vertical </p><p>(3) Harder course: ~ 5km - 180m vertical </p><p>Distances are given as straight lines, and effective running distance will definitely be more. Bring some water for the warm weather.</p><p><br></p><p>Wednesday's <a href="https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/week/north-vancouver_canada_6090785?day=4" target="_blank">Wx forecast</a> is for warm and sunny weather. <strong>Consider bringing something for a picnic after the event </strong>!</p><p><strong>Register online </strong>before Wed 12:00.</p><p><strong>Parking:<br></strong></p><p><strong></strong>- Cleveland Dam P. Lot : until 9pm</p><p>- Side streets have also available parking on Prospect Avenue (<a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/3ccnSborsrveqFfH9" target="_blank">https://maps.app.goo.gl/3ccnSborsrveqFfH9</a>).</p>
