Brady's Run Park
Orienteering Meet
25 April 2015

It was quite a chilly day for late April; but that didn't deter a lot of people from coming to our first event at Brady's Run Park (at least 124 people, 53 official starts).  Many of those who came needed some instruction; so, it kept two instructors busy most of the time.  Naturally, those who needed instruction went out on the white course.  This resulted in us running out of pre-drawn white course maps near the end of the meet.  Fortunately, Jen Livingston managed to draw a couple of extra maps and to borrow a couple from people who had already done the course; so we were only slightly short.  The one down side to having so many newcomers show up is that not all of them followed the proper procedures for going out on a course - they skipped the start and just left on their own as soon as they got a map; so there were a few more people that show up in the official count.

Jen Livingston was the meet director.  Her designs for the white and yellow courses worked out especially well as there was only one DNF on each of these courses.  The score course was quite challenging due to the steepness of the terrain and the slipperiness of the hillsides.  No one managed to get all of the score course points in the 90 minutes allowed, although Alexis Rzewski came close.

Thanks to Joe Logan for vetting the courses.  Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Laurie Opila, James Fenn and Ryan Knecht for handling registration.  Thanks to Sherry Shank and Joe Logan for helping with start/finish.  Thanks to Joe Logan, Jen Livingston and Naomi Jarvis for providing instruction.  And thanks to Ryan Knecht, Yaki Barak, Andy Strat and Joe Logan for picking up the controls at the end.
