Blue Spruce Park
Orienteering Meet
1 October 2016
It was a very
nice night for orienteering. Although it looked like it might
rain at times, it didn't and the temperature stayed near 60.
Certainly everyone got wet anyway because of the rain earlier in
the day; but you can't have everything. We had 34 participants
with 17 starts. For whatever reason, about 10 people who
preregistered decided not to come.
Sherry Shank,
meet director, designed almost the perfect score night-o course
for the skill level of our club. There were 35 control points and
2 1/2 hours allowed to find them. The two best finishers found
all or nearly all of the points and came back in just under the time
limit; we could not have asked for a better result. Although the
vegetation was quite high in the rough open areas, everyone seemed to
enjoy the course. The only negative was when one or more of our
groups strayed outside the park and into the backyard of a private
residence - the owner was quite upset about this. However, we
apologized to this intrusion and, I think, resolved the issue.
Thanks to
Sherry's daughter Alexis for helping to put out the control flags.
Thanks to Laurie Opila and Eric Steinbring for managing
registration. Thanks to Laurie and Sherry for helping with the
finish. Thanks to Sherry and Naomi Jarvis for helping to do
control pickup the next day.
Our next event will consist of sprints at Boyce Park on October 16.
