CompassSport Cup 2023: P4

Meet the Members: P9 Thierry Georgiou: P 18

Full Speed, No mistakes! These are the famous words from the “King of orienteering”, Thierry Georgiou. However, this could also be said about DFOK members as we gave it our all to attempt to qualify for the CompassSport Cup heats at Worthlodge on 12th March! Congratulations to everyone who took part and we will go again strong next year! This month, many members attended the BOC long and we had two teams at the BOC relays.

Orienteering team

We all love orienteering for what it is. As soon as that long beep sounds at the start, you are given a map and you are suddenly alone In the forest. That isolation and interaction with nature whilst exercising. The beauty of the sport is that only you can affect your result and performance. But for so many people, this is all that orienteering is and many people miss out on the social side of orienteering.

How many people at Worthlodge felt they could push just a bit more on the run-in because of the crowd of DFOK cheering? After that massive climb to the run-in, I was exhausted but for me,

the support at the DFOK tent definitely helped me to find a sprint finish from somewhere, (if not the treat of crepes and shortbread when I got back to the tent)!

Whilst we may not have got the most points at Worthlodge, we definitely had the best team support.

There are a couple of things that having a good team support can do. Firstly, I believe it does actually boost performances. Every time I was thinking of walking , I thought about the other DFOK members who were giving their all on the steep hills of Worthlodge. My 2 minute breather could wait till the end! In addition, and possibly most importantly, it makes our club attractive to potential new members. A person who sees a club all gathering together, supporting its members seems like a much more friendly and welcoming club than a club where all its members went home after they finished running .

Perhaps at more events, we could all do a bit more to hang around at the end and support fellow members on the run in or discuss with others at the event centre after a run. At local events, we could give advice to new or potential new members.

I wish everyone good luck in any future races and hope to see people out and about at events!

Message from the Chair

Dear orienteers, Congratulations to the 34 Dartford Orienteers who participated in the CompassSport event on 12 March at Worth Lodge. We did quite well finishing second and five points away from Saxons. There was a lot of mud but also sweet treats to cheer up. The forecast for future years is excellent: we had two juniors, Madeleine Pitcher and Luke Bennett, receiving the top 100 points each; we had the youngest competitor of the event: Isla Findlay and we had nobody in the super vet category yet!

We also had a big team at the British Long Distance Orienteering Championships at Cold Ash and two relay teams at the British Relay Championships on Sunday 26 March. Madeleine Pitcher, Andrew Evans and Andrew Pitcher arrived 12th out of 36 teams in the Ad-Hoc competition. Luke Bennett, Kevin Jover and Antoine Pesenti just managed to beat Saxons in the tough Men's Premier competition. There is only one SE League event left this season taking place at Eartham Wood on 14 May. DFOK is organising many smaller events locally. See the list at www.dfok.co.uk/events

Finally, the committee is very keen to bring new members to the committee. If you are interested or want to know more about the roles, please contact me at chairman@dfok.co.uk. Enjoy orienteering!

CompassSport Cup Heats 2023

By Mindaugas

One of the most awaited races of the year – CompassSport Trophy – took place on the 12th of March at the Worthlodge Forest. The event gathered (likely) a record size squad of DFOK runners – 42 registered orienteers, with some club members coming even all the way from Sweden. The large “blue/white” crowd gathered by the finish made sure that everyone was cheered on at the end of the race and gave their best for the finishing sprint. On top of that, it was nice of Luke and Antoine to have brought some home-made cookies and crepes for everyone to share and to replenish energy levels post-race.

DFOK ended up taking the second place with 1274 points, only 5 points away from the Saxons club, and 1 point ahead of the Mole Valley club. This would not have been possible without great runs by most of DFOK orienteers, and exceptional runs by Luke and Madeleine who were first not only in their age groups but in the Green Men and Short Green courses overall. Also, great run by club's youngest runner, Isla, who will, hopefully, bring many points in the future CompassSport Trophy races.

The weather was cooperative for the race and, even though, it was cloudy, there was no rain on the day. The forest was quite wet, so the mud played some role, especially when running downhill on the road leading from start as everyone had to run there, but most of the other roads were not too muddy. It was nice that the open areas were quite runnable, and the forest mostly empty of brambles, or at least Brown course did not take to any worse areas.

The Brown course was quite interesting with multiple legs requiring to make route choice decisions as well as to have good execution. To note, for the first checkpoint it was a good decision to immediately run in the forest instead of running downhill the muddy road, as running on the road was slow and made reading the map difficult. Couple interesting legs in terms of route choices to look into for the Brown course were “4 – 5” and “18 – 19”.

For the beginning of leg “4 – 5”, most straight option was to hit the small paths then run through “white” forest and then search for the opening in the crossable fence (blue route). ). The route seems to be quite straight with least distance to run, but if looking more closely, one can see that the paths have a lot of turns, so the route is not necessarily that short, and it requires some precision to find the paths.

In case the paths were missed, it was a risk to get stuck in the 'green' forest patches which might be quite slow to run through. Alternative (red route) was to run around on open areas. This route was slightly longer in distance but required less attention and was easier to execute – the fastest time for the leg in the race was recorded for the variant of the red route.

The leg “18 – 19” was quite straightforward on the first look, but taking into account that it was in the end of the race, with fatigue setting in, the risk of picking non-optimal route was higher than in the start of the race. There were two options to run around either on left (red route) or right (purple route) – the purple route being slightly shorter and having easier attack point to the control than the red one. The third option (blue route) was to go straighter, and was a bit of a gamble on running conditions in the semi-open areas with decent attack point as the border of big semiopen area is marked as visible. The winning split of race winner was by using similar route to the blue one.

Naomi’s Report!

The Compass Sport Cup qualifier is one of my favourite events of the year. Not because I get to run down a course (although that never hurts!) but because it’s one of the few times of the year when it really feels like a team sport and the club (Klubb?) comes together. Normally you may see and have a chat to fellow club members in the car park or the queue for Tom’s burger van but orienteering often feels like a solitary sport. So it’s always nice when the heats come around and there’s the chance to spend time with everyone. This year was no exception, with the tent up and shortbread and crêpes courtesy of Luke and Antoine. The event was at Worthlodge Forest, an area I have absolutely no recollection of despite having orienteered there several times. (I can, however, remember that I bought my last pair of o-shoes there a few years ago and one event involved walking past the displays for Tulleys Farm’s hallowe’en Shocktober Fest, which looked quite bizarre in the autumn sunshine. Make of that what you will.)

If you’ve ever looked at my results, it is obvious that I’m not the fastest orienteer (to put it mildly) but as it was the Compass Sport Cup (OK, Trophy) I wanted to put in a good time for me and I hoped that running a shorter course than usual would help. No pressure then! After a squelchy walk to the start, I was in the start lanes and then off. One of my rules for orienteering is always to take it relatively easy to the first control, to get an understanding of how the mapper has mapped the area and because there’s nothing

more soul-destroying than thrashing around for what feels like hours when you’ve only just started. But the first leg looked relatively easy: down the path then right along the stream so I thought I could take it quickly. And there it was. So back to the path on my way to control number two. A slight distraction as I see a competitor start moving towards an open area of land but I double check my map and realise she is heading towards the one that is marked out of bounds and I do want the one that is further ahead: have confidence in your navigation, I think.

And then I start knocking off the controls one by one. At control 5, a brief moment of surprise as my bearing to hit the knoll that the control is on is actually correct. (Taking and following accurate bearings is definitely one of my weaker orienteering skills.) The leg between controls 7 and 8 seems to take longer than I expected but I find the marsh and the control. “Don’t think it”, I think to myself (as thinking “This is going well” is usually and inevitably followed by going completely wrong…). On my way to control 10 I see Julie. By this point, I know I’m tiring but I dig in. However, the tiredness tells with the penultimate leg. I run out the woodland to the open field with the intention of following the open land underneath the power lines to the final control. But I take one look at the bracken and decide against it so go back into the woodland. I’d have been better off following the stream through the woodland in the end.

I’m almost finished. When meeting up with everyone before starting, I was particularly “pleased” to see the finish was uphill. However, with a little group of DFOK-ers there cheering all the club’s runners in, I think I better grit my teeth and run it. Also because I can see Tina taking photos and I don’t want to be the one walking! It obviously did the trick as this turned out to be one of my best legs: I was second fastest. I punch the finish and I’m done.

Overall, I’m pleased with how it went. My final position was rather higher up the order than where I can normally be found and checking Routegadget afterwards, my route choice was pretty good (or perhaps we were all making the same mistakes?!). If only my running speed was quicker So thank you Luke for the very tasty shortbread stars, thank you Antoine for the crêpes and thank you everyone for cheering me in and being excellent company. It’s sad we didn’t manage to qualify for the finals but I think we did well to lose by only a few points (and the top three clubs were only separated by 10 points. Here’s to next year!

Mystery of Ranking Points!

By David Lobley

Orienteering is an odd sport in more ways than one, but one of its particular peculiarities is that every event is totally different from the rest, with variations on distance, difficulty and standard of opposition. Before the invention of BOF Ranking Points, these variations make it almost impossible to compare performances across events, for example, how do you rank –

3rd place / 16 on Blue at a Shorne Woods Regional Event in Danson Park running 10 mins / km;

35th place / 65 on M55L at British Champs in South East running 10 mins / km; and

9th place / 48 on Course C at the Icenian Urban Sprints running <6 mins / km???

The problem is solved by the use of the mysterious Ranking Points which magically appear on the BOF website (https:// www.britishorienteering.org.uk/rankings) sometime in the middle of the night immediately after the results are posted to the website.

Points are awarded at all Level B and above events to all BOF Members apart from those under 18 (much to the annoyance of Luke!) and basically worked out so that an “Average” runner having an “Average” run will score 1000 points. So if you are that mythical average runner, slap bang in the middle of all the c 5,000 BOF Members and you always have your average run, same you’ll always get the same 1,000 points. If you do better than average, you get more than 1,000 points, up to a maximum for the top runners in the country of about 1,450 and if you do worse than average you get less, with the spread of points based upon a “Normal Distribution” which is where I switch off and leave it to an actuary in the club (Ian C-P) to follow on!

Ranking Points then go to make up the Ranking List which adds together your best 6 scores achieved over the last 12 months to rank everyone in the country down from Alexander Chepelin with 8,544 points to poor John Toll with just 91 points (although to be fair he has only done 1 event!), with the rest of us fitting in somewhere inbetween.

And so, how do you predict your RP’s? This is where it gets difficult!!!! Obviously a “decent” run should give you a decent score, but will it get you a magical Top 6 Score to move you up the list? It’s here that lot of factors come in to account, but ultimately it comes down to:

How good was the competition? - In theory it makes no difference but it seems that you get more points doing badly on top courses than doing well on low courses. (Again I’ll leave it to Ian to explain!); and

How did the others do? - If everyone had a decent run it’s not good news! Best points are achieved when you have a clean run and others mess up. Nailing a “Bingo” control is a good route to big points!

It’s just a question of waiting for the results to be posted to BOF followed (in my case!) by a sleepless night checking every two hours for the Points to be posted!

However, if like me you can’t wait for results to be posted to BOF website, (and you have average or above Excel competence), I have a spreadsheet I’m happy to share that predicts your points. Just download results from SI results, and the latest Ranking List from BOF to get predicted points within accuracy of about +/- 10 pts.

And finally, the answer to my original question, these are 3 of my results (as I’m sure some realised!) and ranking is –

1st – 3rd at Shorne, 1,185 Pts

2nd – 35th at British, 1,152 Pts

3rd – 9th at Icenian, 1,142 Pts

ABOUT THE JK

Most orienteers in the UK (if not the world) will have heard of the JK (Jan Kjellstrom International Orienteering Festival), but do we actually know who Jan Kjellstrom was, and how he was significant in orienteering in the UK?

Jan Kjellstrom was born on 12th April 1940 in Stockholm , Sweden. He was the son of Alvar Kjellstrom, who was the founder of the compass brand, SILVA. In 1966, Jan decided to travel to Britain to promote orienteering. He developed a very strong relationship with British Orienteering as he started competing in events, coaching new and effective navigation techniques and developed competitions. He had previously done similar work in Belgium and France. In June 1966, he attended a “Euro” meeting as an ambassador for the sport.

Unfortunately and tragically, In 1967, when he returned to Sweden, he was killed in a car accident. He died on 12th January 1967. News of this shook the ever expanding orienteering world and as he had had such a massive impact on the expansion of the sport in such a short amount of time.

To honour his work in the UK, the British Orienteering Federation (BOF), held the JK festival and in 1969, it was moved to the Easter weekend.

The JK has been held in the South East 8 times, however, this year, the JK will be held in the Lake District. The sprint will be held in the fast-paced, intricate Lancaster University. The middle distance will be held at High Dam which is a mixture of fast, runnable forests, rocks and open areas covered with bracken. Finally, day 3 will be held at Bigland which (as it’s name suggests) is a massive area, of runnable forest and open areas. These are some of Britain’s most premier locations which is very fitting for one of Britain’s most premier competitions.

I wish any DFOK members who travel up to the Lakes this Easter the very best of luck in your races! It will be a very good experience to orienteer in much more difficult terrains than the ones in the South East!

When and why/how did you start orienteering?

It has always been my family’s sport. When I was still in a pushchair my mum would take me orienteering. When I was about four years old, I started to go on courses with my older sister, and then eventually began running them solo.

Where’s your favourite area to go orienteering?

Kokorinsko in the Central Bohemia region of Czech Republic known for its impressive sandstone rock formations which provide especially challenging and beautiful environments for orienteering.

What’s a funny/embarrassing moment from an event?

When I was younger (and it was still common prepandemic) I would often have to sleep in a large hall or gymnasium with other participants during a multi-day event. It wasn’t easy getting to sleep with all the snoring, and don’t get me started on the shared toilet & shower facilities!

Do you have any hobbies or do any other sports?

I enjoy canoeing, cross-country and down-hill skiing, ice skating and ballroom dancing. Unfortunately, opportunities to pursue most of these are limited since I moved to the UK. I also enjoy Geocaching, day hiking and swimming.

What advice would you give to a newcomer?

Start with easier and shorter courses and then work your way up. Don’t panic if you think you might be lost and don’t be embarrassed to ask for help. Stop and think, look at your map and compass and use significant details in the environment to help locate yourself on the map. Always keep your thumb on your location on the map and move your thumb as you progress through the course.

What’s your biggest achievement/ proudest moment?

Winning the silver medal on green in the Kent Orienteering League last year was a big achievement, and came as quite a surprise!

My proudest moments were when I was on a particularly difficult course, e.g. the sandstone rock areas of Czech Republic, there were multiple times where I came close to giving up, but I would persevere and complete the course. It always felt good to overcome my weaknesses.

Oh and finally persuading Dan to start orienteering felt like quite an achievement too!

What DFOK member would you like to see interviewed next?

BOC LONG

By Luke Bennett

The British Long Distance Orienteering Championships (BOC Long) was held on 25th March 2023 at Cold Ash, near Newbury. I knew in advance, that it would be much longer than most M16 courses, so, In the weeks leading up to the race, I worked in much longer runs and at the SE league event at Egypt Woods, I ran up to short brown as that would have a more realistic distance. I feel this helped me to prepare for the longer distance.

I’m not usually one to get nervous before an event, as I am usually fairly confident before my run. However, as this was a selection race for the JROS Deeside tour, there was a lot of added pressure as I had to get a good time against the other people looking for selection!

We arrived at Cold Ash with plenty of time to spare and so I had time to scout the run in and do some final map geeking in the arena on Routegadget. Then I incorporated a relaxed warm up into my 1.6km journey to the far start!

Along the way, I met various friends from previous O tours and events. It was nice to catch up but made me remember that I really was up against the best in the country!

At the start, I was very nervous but followed my usual checklist: control descriptions, watch GPS ready, find start on blank map, GPS on at –10seconds. On the long beep I was off. I would be lying if I said I was confident on the first leg, the M16 course was thrown into dodgy vegetation. I probably wasted a minute just being overcautious but eventually I found number 1. The next few controls flew by and my confidence grew as I began to flow through the course.

I ran past number 8 on my way to 7, so stupidly, when I left 7, I ran in the direction I thought I had come from without taking a proper bearing, and I overshot 8. This was very annoying as I lost a few minutes on what should have been a very easy leg.

Just a few controls later, I made a similar mistake: Not taking a bearing before leaving my control. After correcting that error after a few minutes. I stood at 12 and took a breath. It is so easy to loose your head at this point and rush to try and make up for lost time. I am a culprit of doing this in the past and more often than not, it leads to more mistakes. I decided from now on I would not leave the control before I had a clear plan. (This is something I should have been doing anyway)!

Anyway, the rest of the course went fairly well, Little to no mistakes. I decided to take the slightly longer but safer route from 17-18 as I didn't feel like tackling the big hills so late on in the course! The biggest challenge for this leg was avoiding the incoming M/W12’s who were out in their masses! I must have been close to the near start at this point.

I never thought I was having an amazing run at any point on my run. I had made quite a few silly mistakes which in previous events I had stopped making. But they had happened and I just needed to have the strongest finish possible.

One of the biggest surprises on my course was when I overtook Toby Heppell (WCOC), going from 20-21. I was not expecting this at all as 1) he is one of the top runners in “M15” and 2) he started 15 minutes before me! I later found out that he had made a big mistake going to 20.

I eventually finished 12th in M16 and 4th in M15 with a time of 68:54. I was quite happy with this time and I beat quite a few of the big names in my age class. However, there is still a lot of work ahead for me as I must work on reducing those silly mistakes if I want to be pushing for podium places in the future.

My next steps are hopefully getting selected for the JROS Deeside tour in the summer and possibly pushing for a podium place at the BOC Sprints and Middles in Northern Ireland in May (hopefully the entries in M16 stay at 8 people)!!

Well done to all DFOK members that took part in the BOC Long. It was a very tricky area technically and physically!

Where’s the controller?

By Andrew Evans

Where’s the Controller? is booming loud and clear, greeting the unlucky person on download. The competitor is hot, agitated and speaking at high volume. Something must be amiss.

The person on download calmly asks what the problem is. After a few expletives, it transpires that the competitor thinks control 7 is in the wrong place. It cost him (a no doubt somewhat exaggerated) 15 mins to find it and that control should be taken out of the course results.

So, who is this mysterious “Controller” who most competitors never see and what does he/she do?

Each event that generates ranking points is required to have someone additional to the Organiser and Planner that is responsible for overseeing the event planning and organisation. For a Regional event the Controller is often someone from the same club but for the National and Major events, it will always be someone from a different club, intended to give a more objective view. The two areas of particular importance to the Controller are:

• The fairness of the courses for competitors

• The safety for everyone present

To become a Controller, attending a course is necessary as is having yourself both organised and planned (at different times!) an event of the same level as the Controller role being applied for. The typical steps that a Controller will take will include:

• Looking at the “armchair planning” undertaken to see if that throws up any obvious safety issues. Perhaps the draft courses are too long or too short (there are guidelines)

• Visiting each control site after the Planner has put a numbered tag on them. There’s lots of questions the Controller asks themselves such as “Is the feature that the tag is on sufficiently prominent? Is it marked at the correct place on the map? Is its position accurate relative to other nearby features on the map (which could be used as attack points by competitors)? Is it safe to use as a control? Is it suitable for all ages (an older competitor, for example, should not need to go to the bottom of a steep sided, potentially slippery, large depression or up steep hill sides to reach a crag foot)? Is the control description accurate? Is the number on the tag the one that will be used for the event?

• Evaluating the start, finish and courses again after the visit to the area

• Understanding how the controls will be put out and what risks exist in the plan

• Deciding which controls to visit on the morning of the event based on that understanding.

In all of this, the Controller acknowledges that the courses are the Planner’s, not his/hers. Any observations by the Controller are comments for the Planner to consider, not directions as to what must change. In practice most savvy Planners would pay good regard to the Controller’s comments, not least because as a Planner it is inevitable that you will get so immersed in the detail of the courses that some fairly obvious things may be missed.

So, the Controller is there to provide objective assessments to seek to ensure that the event is of a high quality. For a local event, an approved Controller is still required but the emphasis is primarily on safety rather than fairness and control sites will not be visited.

What about control 7? Others on the same course didn’t seem to have much difficulty locating the control. A few said it seemed in the right place. The Planner and the Controller visit the control after most competitors have returned and it is found to be exactly where it should have been and accurately mapped.

There is plenty of scope for errors to creep in, but on this occasion the competitor was mistaken. No point however in trying to explain this at the time; let’s allow it to sink in when temperatures have got lower.

Andrew Evans in action!

In other cases, there is a valid point being made by the competitor. Even in these cases, the primary responsibility for assessing the complaint lies not with the Controller, or the Planner, but with the Organiser. The Organiser will take input from the Controller and decide what to do about it, if anything, If the competitor is still unhappy, there is an established complaints procedure under which a protest can be made. This will be assessed by a team of 3 people known as the jury. All jury members are experienced Controllers but are independent from the Organiser, Planner and Controller for that event. They will ask questions of the event officials but it is the jury who make the ultimate decision as to whether to uphold the complaint.

Why would anyone want to become a Controller? A few reasons, including the need to have Controllers to preserve the fairness of competition and the training that being a Controller provides as you look at things quite differently from when you are a competitor. It also provides a chance to get a free run in beautiful areas first thing in the morning of the event without distractions from other competitors and seeing the wildlife at its most active. Must concentrate however as I may miss something important.

SE League Monthly Round up

By Keith Parkes Burnham Beeches 05/03/23

With this map of Cobham woods, you need to plan 3 courses; Short (Suitable for newcomers and between 2 and 3km), medium (suitable for intermediate orienteers. Between 3.5 and 5km) and long (suitable for advanced orienteers. Between 5.5 and 7km). You must use the start and finish location provided. Not only can this be a fun activity, it is also a good race preparation technique. If you ‘plan’ courses in the area which match the final details of course, then you can get a good understanding of the area you will be running in. it has proved very useful for me when I'm preparing for competitions like BOC and the JK! Have fun!

Full Speed, no mistakes!

By Luke Bennett

Full Speed, No mistakes! Easier said than done, right? We are all to blame at some point for speeding off into the forest without fully checking our map and then finding ourselves completely lost and out of the race. So how on earth could you go full speed without making any mistakes?

(Enter Thierry Georgiou: Ex-France orienteer with 14 gold medals in World Championships to his name.

Thierry had a dream, when he won his age class at the 1991 WOC spectator race, that he would one day be a world champion.

Fast forward to WOC2001, where he finished in a disappointing 18th place. He realised his dream might not come true. Whilst taking a short break from the sport, he revised his orienteering methods and techniques. Whilst he was an excellent navigator and runner, his old method was too slow to ever win a World Championships. This was when the “Full Speed, No mistakes” motto was born.

This method is ultimately a certain type of simplification where you only use big, distinctive and visible features.

Visibility

In the map below, the control flag is visible from the shaded areas, and so it would be a much safer route using one of those features as an attack point. When you are running, you can form a visibility map in your head when thinking about route choices.

Simplicity

When orienteering, some people comfortable redlining the leg and picking up all of the available information along the way. This method is the blue route below. This can help you to stay in complete contact with the map, however if you do not pickup something (either because you’ve gone wrong or its just not as obvious on the ground as on the map) you can begin to doubt yourself, ultimately causing more mistakes. This was Thierry's old method. He was very good at picking up information quickly, but it was too slow to win WOC.

However, the red route represents the “Full speed, no mistakes,” method, where he can at full speed through the forest and know exactly where he is, and where he is going to be, whilst only needing to pick up 3 features along the way before reaching his control.

Not only is this method useful for your current leg, but if you don’t have to retain as much information on the leg you are running, it is much easier to plan ahead your next few legs, ultimately making you faster across the whole course.

This method, which Thierry invented and adopted, has led him to become the most successful male orienteer of all time, with 14 WOC Gold medals. Whilst we may not reach the heights of him, this method can definitely help us to become much better, accurate and faster orienteers!
