	Adventure Racer's Reading List Looking for a good book on adventure racing or endurance sports? Look no further! Here's a list of must-read books for you.
	Virtual Orienteering In Spring 2020, I wrote an online "virtual orienteering" app to help people practice their map-reading skills. It's a version of hole-in-map orienteering. Basically, you have two images: one is a map with holes in it and the other is a grid of the cut-out map pieces. You examine the map and pieces and match them up. There's a short tutorial on the website.
	TanZ RouteGadget I maintain a RouteGadget instance. RouteGadget is Scandanavian software that plots GPS tracks on maps. The plan is to put all the TanZ races into it.
