I'm so excited for these 5 fun events on new maps in a world-class city. It's an orienteering fantasy. I recommend not picking and choosing. We didn't design any throwaway or filler events; they all have diverse challenges and formats.
You don't need to be elite to enjoy this. Just give a serious look at the clue sheet, and you'll be fine. There's a simple and enjoyable route to each checkpoint. The courses are designed to appeal to everyone by being interesting, offering a variety of orienteering terrains and leg styles, while providing magical glimpses of San Diego's wonders.
Besides Clue Sheets... it helps to be familiar with the most recent mapping standards. These course notes have a basic guide on the footer of each page, including this one. For better practice, go on World of O, find a recent sprint event map from Europe, and try to figure out how you'd get around on it. And take solace knowing that it won't be as hard as any of these events. Though Mesa College comes closest to being an international-head-scratcher.
