Boyce Park
Orienteering Meet
24 September 2017
It was an extremely hot day to do orienteering; temperature near 90
degrees. Nevertheless, we had an impressive turnout: 55
starts with 124 participants. There were considerably more
beginners than expected which meant we had to draw half a dozen
additional beginner course maps and do more instruction than usual.
Yaki Barak's courses (as well as the heat and vegetation)
presented a formidable challenge to many of the participants.
This was our first event in which we had only one person complete
the advanced long course. Several people had particular
difficulty on control 106 (on both advanced courses); however, most
people on those courses did find it. A lot of people brought back
burr souvenirs from their course; but the vast majority of participants
had a good time.
There was a mixed bag of small problems; all of which were dealt with
without too much difficulty. One control's position did not match
the marking on the map; one family of four went on a course without
going through the start process; one person lost his glasses; one
person's dog overheated; and a building sprang up where they was only a
ruin before.
Thanks to Yaki Barak for designing and putting out the courses.
thanks to Dave Battista for vetting the courses. Thanks to
Barbara Johnstone, Laurie Opila, Naomi Jarvis and James Fenn for
handling registration. Thanks to Kelly Sottile and Jett Downey
for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Sherry Shank and Jen
Livingston for providing instruction (Jen did this both shifts).
Thanks to Laurie for drawing additional maps. And thanks to
Alexis Rzewski, Joe Logan, Naomi Jarvis, and James Fenn for helping
with control pickup (Alexis and Joe did this after running the Great
Race).

Our next event will be at Brady's Run Park on October 8.
