Q&A
Q: If you had one tip for young orienteers what would it be?
A: You learn from your mistakes! Cliché, I know. But it's true! When doing your post-race re-cap, focus on 2 good things for every 1 "bad" thing that comes to mind to help you view these "mistakes" and learning experiences.
Q: What aspect of orienteering keep you interested and motivated to stay involved, train, and compete?
A: The places it takes me, and the fact that every race and training is different - you never know what you're going to get!
