Orienteering Meet

It was a wet day, raining lightly in the morning before the start and sprinkling on and off during the event.  The temperature was reasonable; but everyone was guaranteed to get wet.  The turnout was good for such bad weather and the fact that a number of the regulars had conflicts of various kinds and could not make it.  We had 36 starts with a total attendance of 64.

Jim Wolfe designed the courses.  The only course to cause problems was the Novice (Yellow) one.  It was known ahead of time that two of the controls would be difficult for a novice so course notes were provided to explain how to find these controls.  The people who had problems were the ones who did not read the notes.  We had one unfortunate occurrence as someone vandalized one control and took the control box.  This caused 3 groups on the beginner course to initially appear to DNF before the control box was replaced; however, the groups are credited with visiting their 9th control in the results below.  Everyone on the longer  courses  seemed to like the courses.

Thanks to Christy Freeman, Yaki Barak, Laurie Opila, and Alexis Rzewski for running registration.  Thanks to Sherry Shank, Eric Steinbring, and  Andy Strat for managing start/finish.  Thanks to Alexis for doing some instruction.  And thanks to Gordon Huang, Andy Strat, Alexis Rzewski, and Ryan Knecht for doing control pickup.
