Description

This week's WET will consist of a Beginner's point to point course and two O-terval courses of different lengths. O-tervals or Orienteering Intervals are courses with several different mini courses within it. It consists of several Starts and Finishes. This week's goal with the O-tervals is to plan ahead by a control or two and anticipate what is coming.
