I just wrapped-up a significant update to www.UntamedAdventure.com/Switzerland -- the stage is set for a great 3-day event in April. Check out the video of me on the "Latest News" page and, yes, I'm sporting a bit of a beard there at the end of the video.

Building on my post last week about getting started with navigation and orienteering for adventure racing, I want to share a solid methodology you can apply while you're "in country" with your map and compass.

We put together a visual aid showing the 2009 Untamed New England race course:
