The first thing you need to know about Orienteering is how to use the map. In this pacific sport you receive a map that has something called a legend, the legend contains a symbol of a particular object. It can also help you mark out where the next control is.
An important thing is the controls. Controls locate where you have to run. The controls are a very part of Orienteering. If you only run to one control that is not the control you are looking for, you may be disqualified from the competition. If you don't want be want to be disqualified, look at the side of the map which would have numbers and there would be the same number at the control.
In addition to receive a great time you have to run hard and push your self to the limits. When you from control to control you run as fast as you can as well as going the fastest way possible even if if you have to run through a stream, as long as its in the boundary.
Many say that Orienteering is a very rugged sport, but if you do it right and run hard you will have the time of you life.
