Keystone State Park
Orienteering Meet
20 September 2015
It was a really nice day for orienteering, sunny, temperature in the
low 60's much of the time. Considering that this event
conflicted with a Steelers home game, we had a good turnout:
37 starts, 75 participants. It was national
Orienteering Day so newcomers participated free - we had a fair number
of them; they kept both instructors busy during the first 90 minutes.
Joe Logan was meet director. He designed two very different
white courses for the newcomers to try: one was very flat and
mostly in the open; the other was almost totally in the forest and
included a lot of climb. Only one father-son team tried both
white courses. The yellow course had the most entries and was
the most competitive with four participants within 6 minutes of the
winning time. The score course had an unusual structure which
forced runners to decide whether they were fast enough to go for a
group of controls with high point values that were far separated from
the rest of the course. No one was expected to clear the entire
course; although Alexis visited all but one score control, he was also
more than 30 minutes late in returning. In the end, there was
a tie for most points; however Havard was 8 minutes faster than Jim.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the courses, whichever one they
tried. Results are shown below.
Thanks to Yaki Barak, Eric Steinbring, Laurie Opila and Tali Shalom
Barak for handling registration. Thanks to Linda Gray and
Barbara Johnstone for helping with start/finish. Thanks to
Sherry Shank, Tom Gray, Naomi Jarvis and Joe Logan for providing
instruction. And thanks to Dave Battista, Paul Humphreys,
Alexis Rzewski, Jett Downey and her friend for helping with control
pick up.
Our next event will be at Stackhouse Park in Johnstown on October 4.
