About orienteering

   Twice this year I have been fortunate
elk to take part in races on sports
nomu orienteering. The first time was not
serious mass action "Russian azimuth
mut (3.5 km around the park), and the second time
(7.5 miles through the woods), I ran out of the competition. But
anyway I have something to tell.

   Both times it was the route of the form "given
direction. "This means that the track about
can only mean one on the map and the terrain
only control points (CP). At KP
should be celebrated, punching a special car
point (on the "cool" events used
is not a card and the chip). Items should be
obegat in the correct order. Problem - how
You can quickly go through all the manual to Fini
shu.

   Cards are issued at the start. Map
very detailed. Scale maps of the first
route, which I ran, was 1 cm in 50 m, y
second - 1 cm in 100 m. The two-section you
hundreds of 2.5 meters. Each tree is certainly not
indicated, but the poles, stones, pits and mounds
- Completely.

   In addition to maps for remote transmission
tion is desirable to have guidelines. They may be
issue with the card, but can'll post
vat in advance at the booth, where every Sri
sovyvaet himself. Benchmarks - this track, Hall
Meek, pit, post, etc., each subject
its symbol. On a table with
guidelines also indicate the position of the KP
with respect to the landmark (the icon area).
And if in a wide range, covering the CP on
map, put more than a sister
object-reference, then on the table guidelines
arrow indicates which of the objects
desired. Unfortunately, the card after the race
selected (and benchmarks party pererisovy
cates her not to hold hands excess
paper), so I do not have at
examples of notation.

   Sometimes a card and a map of the area coincide
bourgeois. In other cases, they are two different
sheet. They are made of sufficiently thick
paper, but in terms of race (especially under
Rain - the first time I ran in the rain)
extremely fragile. Therefore, after
as a participant in srisuet card benchmarks
(If they are on it is no longer published), he is for
kleivaet her scotch. Otherwise, composters (at
Born - from 9 or 16 needles) can break
card. Scotch all his own.

   Each runner has a number. Granted
at registration (registration is symbolic
Crystalline amount) a piece of paper with the number needed
strengthen on the breast bulavkami.Bulavki, it is yet again, 
his own. Number is repeated on the card. 

   On the chest piece of paper other than rates indicated
called the moment of launch - not Moscow
time, and as a shift from the beginning
competition. On the "Russian azimuth" of all
launched at the same time - it was a praise
Shai stupidity. When running a huge crowd,
no orientation is not obtained. Until
sufficient for one person to see the manual - to
this manual immediately crammed everything.

   The card is in addition to rooms and cells
for a composter (in which party Puriri
popped benchmarks) have the following information
mation: name of the runner, the organization, from to
Torah he speaks, the age group - and
something else. Places for the composter predusmat
regarded more than you need. Some of the cells -
Reserve (R), in case the main
cell broke.

   When the race card is usually kept in the right
hand, and a card on the left. In this case,
(If the card is on the left) for composters to
bench press with his right hand. Compass is bound to
right hand on the string while someone com
pass - a strap, fastened to a large
finger. Compass while running keep on top of
card. Card, so as not to lose, too
tie - wrapped with a narrow edge of Izola
ntoy, pierce a hole in this place and goals
plyayut on the second string. Some hang
This string is not in the left arm and neck.

   Then here is a launch party.

   Direction for each manual are looking for companies
Su, running back, looking for him on the landmarks
(Both supply and just got on
map), punched another cage composting
acter, seeking direction to the next CP and
etc. Experienced athletes are well developed
sense of the distance. Good orienteers
do not swirl around CP after hit
Gut "around there", and purposefully go
to KP on the landmarks while learning to map azimuth
and distance.

   At the finish of the card is opened by pinch
RSA and, as I mentioned, give the judges.

   Usually arrives at the finish line vse.Nachalnik
distance specifies a certain time,
when the competition is still going on and on
its expiration Strayed members (bu
de such will) cease to look for CP and
should go directly to the people finish.Skolko
started, so it should finish.
If someone still has not returned, it goes
seek - could happen trauma.

   Competition may be conducted so that
simultaneously run all age groups
at all distances. In this case, places
particular party may be caught someone else's IP.
Therefore, the numbering is not KP 1, 2, 3 ..., and the 
condition conventionally.


   After the winners in each
Group determined to declare them and rewarding
exist, then the organizers have collected all the manual - and
in the end all happy to go to
moms.

   The winners are not only in the race, but
and a series of races. According to the results for organizers
vany construct ratings, and their spread in
Internet.

   In this sport has its own tricks.
For example, in a dense thicket no one was breaking (and
I managed to break:)). Usually run on
Cultural rare twine. But it must be
protect eyes from branches and when it should be,
as if we do not stumble. Tricks are also present in
use a compass - when shaking it Kru
titsya like mad, even when filled with water.
I think if I was a compass
sphere in which it swims close to di
diameter of the ball with a fused magnetic u
formula, then such a compass would be much more varied
weaker. But these do not. The trick is
even in shoes - laces seasoned to
they clung to the branches.

   In general, sport is an interesting, one
However, requiring endurance.
