It was a very pleasant day for June in Boyce Park. The turnout was ok but somewhat less than expected. We did get a couple of newbies from the VO Festival and the library postings; but we were hoping for a lot more. Phil Martineau, meet director, designed some challenging courses, especially the orange and red ones. The thick vegetation in Boyce Park, along with the many trails (some unmapped) make it difficult to design good advanced courses; but based on the times and the comments from the competitors, Phil did a good job. There was one moment when we thought there was a problem on the yellow course; as three people who finished at nearly the same time reported not finding one control. However, when we checked, the control was in the proper place and no one finishing later had any problem with the control.
Thanks to Jerry Agin, Barbara Johnstone, Al Sheaffer, Loretta Opila, and Bill Unger for handling registration. Thanks to Alexis Rzewski for providing instruction. Thanks to Stephanie Martineau for final vetting and handling start/finish. And thanks to Bill Unger, Alexis Rzewski and Al Sheaffer for helping to pick up the controls.
Here are the photos that Alexis took at the event.
The next meet is the Beaver Street-O on June 20.
