Technical ("Armchair") Training - POSTPONED
February 17th 2012 7:00pm
Organizer: Jeremy Gordon (Host)
Event postponed for a couple of weeks. New date announcement soon.
Technical training
I'd like to try holding an indoor ("Armchair") training session. We'll look at some old maps and courses, plan routes and (hopefully) get them critiqued by some of our experts.
Exercises in:
- terrain visualization
- contour reading
- route picking
- courses from previous events (e.g. Barebones 2010 in Alberta)
- brushing up on "hand-rails", "catching features"
- etc
We may also set up a screen and view some old races on RouteGadget.
If there's enough interest, we can order in pizza.
I can host this is my building lounge (UBC area), or we can pick another location, depending on where people are coming from.
