Mingo Creek Park
10 April 2016
Orienteering Meet
It was a very cold day; there was still snow in some spots; the
temperature made it to 40 late in the day and the wind kept blowing.
Nevertheless, we still had a respectable turnout with 35 starts
(56 total people) and quite a few newcomers.
Jim Wolfe designed the courses, most of which turned out as expected.
It was anticipated that the Novice (yellow) course would be
somewhat slow; this was indeed the case. However, the other
courses had winning times that were close to those expected. This
was the first time the club offered an Advanced Short (Brown) course in
a long time; many of the people who wanted to limit their time on the
course tried it and liked the result. All of the comments that I
heard were positive, even about the water which it was feared might be
frozen because it was put out the day before; but it remained liquid,
although very cold.
Thanks to Sherry Shank, Loretta Opila, Ryan Knecht and Naomi Jarvis for
running registration. Thanks to Tali Shalom-Barak and James Fenn
for helping with registration. Thanks to Joe Logan and Andy Strat
for doing instruction. Also, thanks to Andy Strat for helping put
out controls on Sunday. Thanks to Gordon Huang, Yaki Barak and
Ryan Knecht for helping with control pickup.
The next WPOC event is our annual training day. It is a free
event for everyone. There will be two beginner instructions
sessions at 11 am and 1 pm; one intermediate instruction session at
noon; and three advanced exercises. The event is at Deer Lakes
Park on April 24.
