Orienteering in my high school

What we had to do in the class?
In my high school, there are four boys that are so good in orienteering and they learn to us.
The first class, our teacher explain us how is the orienteering and we practive it. At first it  cost me a little used to it but I knew how to do it, it turned out to be much easier.
In the second class of orienteering, the four boys that I've been talking about, thwy went with us and they helped us.
And the last time that we did orienteering befor the real race, in my high school, my teacher and the four boys did a race with all my classmate of the high school, and I won the race.








Official competition in Lorca

That day was very nervous, it was my first official race. When I left I went first to the first track, I had to find it because it was far away, but when I found it, it was easier for me. When I reach the sixth was also more complicated but also ice without problem. The track that I most cost to find was the ninth as I was wrong and I had to go for another but in the end everything went well. But when in class my teacher told me that I had qualified for the regional I felt super happy and super good with myself.


This experience for my was incredible, I made many friends, I saw many friends of Lorca but the more important thing was that I was able to overcome the fear of losing myself in the forest and many people I did not trust I could do now are very proud of me.

Orienteering

What is orientteering?
This sport modality consists of a race, through a space (normally natural terrain), in which there are placed a know number of posts or beacons, which each runner must find and visit.



What are the elements that we required?
In this sport we only need a map and a compass but in the road we are going to find some objects that its names are beacons. 



How we can orient the map without a compass?
It is so easy, we only have to know where is the north and we have orient the map according where we are. For example, if you are in the beacons numer 6 and if the north is behind us, we have to put the map looking for behind us.
 If you don't have a compass it is easier, you have to locating where are you and have to move the map according where you go. If you are lose you have to move your map and orienting it according with the beacons that you go.
