North Park
Orienteering Meet
21 May 2017
Off and on rain was predicted for the day; and the predictions were
right, although after 1 pm the rain was mostly on. The
temperature was reasonable (mid-60s) but all except the very early
starters got wet. Turnout was pretty good considering the rain;
we had 73 people show up, including one from South Africa, one from
France and one from New York. There were a total of 45 starts.
Dave Battista's courses definitely tested the participants. There
were a lot of positive comments about the courses. In fact, a
couple people were disappointed that Dave left before they could
congratulate him on his courses. The only negative comments I
heard were about the green on the intermediate (orange) course and a
couple small mapping issues (we know there are a number of areas that
need more scrutiny). Actually, based on the results, the
intermediate course was probably too difficult for the clientele.
Other courses had reasonable winning times.
Thanks to Joe Logan for vetting the courses. Thanks to Alexis
Shank, Barbara Johnstone, James Fenn and Jim Trautmann for handling
registration. Thanks to Yaki Barak and Andy Strat for helping
with start/finish. Thanks to Sherry Shank and Naomi Jarvis for
conducting instruction. And thanks for Gordon Huang, Jerry Agin,
Jett Downey and Luca Rzewski for doing control pickup.
Found at the McCandless shelter: one 16GB thumb drive. Did anyone lose one?

Our next event will be at Frick Park on June 4.
