The weather cooperated for this meet; it was cloudy all day and dripped now and then but the rains held off until everything was done. We had an excellent turnout, even though at least two boy scout troops that expected to participate went to the wrong part of the park and never found us. Although we had basically no scouts and a number of our regulars were occupied elsewhere, we still tied our record for the most starts with 52. This meet was our first venture into trying to include mountain bike orienteering with foot orienteering in an event. Unfortunately, the bike orienteering did not work out well with only two non-club members trying the bike courses. This was despite a rather extensive advertising campaign.
As first-time meet director, Alexis Rzewski did an excellent job of
designing the courses and putting out the controls. The course feedback
was very positive. Course times were generally a little long, mostly
because we had so many new people and groups with kids; the vegetation
may have slowed a few people down on the advanced courses. Kristaps
did not seem to be phased by the vegetation as he won both the green course
and the long bike course by substantial margins and then also helped with
control pickup. Thanks to Alexis for a fine meet. Thanks to
Barbara Johnstone, Phil Martineau, Wayne Richter, Loretta Opila, and Sally
O'Donnell for running registration. Thanks to Alexis for impromptu
instruction and thanks to Kristaps Tamuzs and John Hartman for control
pickup. The next meet will be in the fall, probably August 26.
