2009 Training Day Results
The Pawtuckaway Trifecta '09 had a good turnout for a great day of training on one of North America's toughest Orienteering maps! We've posted the results by total points: 5 points per punch minus 3 points per minute over the 1-hour time limit. We'll have some photos up soon as well.
