Barnett Marine Park, Fool's day challenge! Wednesday Evening Training
April 1st 2015 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizers: Sergio FerLoz (Event Director), Scott Muma (Coach)
Map: Barnet Marine Park
Description
This week we will have a special event which will challenge all new and experienced while enjoying the nice views of Barnett Marine Park.
Both courses (beginners and advanced) will be point to point, but as it'll be fool's day, you will have opportunities to either increase or decrease your time total if you fall in some traps in the course or not. So if you:
-> Identify false features in the map (around the controls): you get minus 1 minute in your total (for each of the ones you identify).
-> Identify false features in the map (not close to any control): you get minus 3 minutes in your total (for each of the ones you identify).
->Ooopss if you go to/see a false control (with a sad face): you'll get a plus 4 minutes in your total (for each of the ones you see).
So, this is not only about finding all the controls, it is also about finding those little misleading details and being precise!
I hope you enjoy it!
