What comes to mind when you see the word "orienteering"? Tourists with backpacks and guitars? Wandering through a wet, cold autumn forest? You have to be a little crazy to play this sport.) But let's look deeper! Orienteering is a sport in which athletes use a compass and map to search for control points located on the ground. The classic way for athletes to move is to run. The winner is the participant who finds all the points and comes to the finish line first. The most important qualities of an athlete: the speed of completing the distance, the correct choice of the route and the accuracy of its implementation. For beginners, the process may seem complicated, but with some patience, understanding comes and what is initially confusing turns into an exciting task. There is no other sport that tests both the mind and body in the same way. Are you already convinced? If not, then read on for some very good reasons why you should take up orienteering today! 1. Orienteering is a head sport. The main task for an orienteer is to find a balance between mental and physical stress in order to be aware of how fast he can run without losing himself in the terrain and in the map to successfully complete the distance. Correct and quick decision-making plays a very important role in the orientation process. “Run straight through the swamp or around it? Do I need to go down into the ravine or take a workaround?” These constantly evolving tasks require lightning-fast decision-making at the level of instincts, under conditions of competitive intensity and accumulating fatigue. 2. This is a full body workout. Orienteering is not just off-road, it is running without trails. Once you have mastered the easy beginner routes, you will want to try more challenging orienteering. The terrain can vary from beautifully runnable pine forests to heather-strewn moors and heavily overgrown areas. You may end up jumping over streams, off fallen trees, or through thickets. This requires a lot of energy and good strength training. This is why the orienteering distances are quite short. But try running a 7K road race and compare it to a 7K orienteering race. After which of them will you wake up in the morning with pain not only in your legs, but throughout your whole body? :) 3. Orienteering is a sport for health. While doing orienteering, you spend most of your time in nature, get a dose of clean air, vitamin D, and also train your cardiovascular system. Rugged terrain offers athletes an excellent opportunity to train their legs, heart and lungs. 4. Each competition or training is unique. Tired of running the same training routes, the same streets week after week? Yeah me too. That's why orienteering is more interesting than just running. There is always an element of the unknown. Variety is the hallmark of orienteering. 5. There is always room for growth. In orienteering, running is almost never perfect. Even on your best day, you'll lament the two seconds you "lost" climbing over a fallen tree, or wonder if you could have been half a minute faster if you'd taken a slightly different route. There is always something you can work on. 6. Orienteering is a sport for life. Literally. At major competitions there are age categories for athletes from ten to ninety years old. There aren't many sports you can continue to win at into your eighth decade.) 7. It's not just running. “You have to be a super strong runner to orienteer...” is one of the most common excuses I hear for not trying this sport. And the answer to this will be my big, thick and resounding “no.” Of course, if you want to win events, you need to be strong physically, and elite orienteers are some of the most highly trained athletes in running. But lack of good physical shape is not an obstacle to orienteering. Many beginning athletes (regardless of age) cover their first distances in orienteering on foot. And this is the best way to learn proper navigation skills. In addition, there are four disciplines of orienteering: running, cycling, skiing and trail orienteering (for people with disabilities). Everyone can choose something for themselves. 8. Orienteering doesn’t always mean getting dirty in the mud:) Orienteering is traditionally associated with hills, forests and parks, but in cities and towns a completely new niche of orienteering has emerged - urban. It combines lightning-fast decision making with fast running. City maps tend to be much simpler, so they can be a great introduction to orienteering for beginners. 9. It gives us skills for life. Navigation skills are important even in this modern world of iPhones, Google Maps and GPS watches. Parents, teach your children orienteering! Let them go out into the forest and get lost! This will teach them to be independent, enterprising and fearless in the face of life's challenges. And one day they will thank you for it.
