Brady's Run Park
Orienteering Meet
8 October 2017


On a warm day for October, we managed to squeeze an orienteering meet between Saturday night's thunderstorms and the remnants of hurricane Nate arriving late afternoon on Sunday; and we did this with no rain during the event.  We had a pretty good turnout, 45 starts with 71 participants with several groups going on more than one course.  Everyone seemed to have fun on Jennifer Livingston's courses.  There were very few DNFs, although we had a few missed or incorrect punches.  The only problems of note were the fact that I forgot to bring printed legends to the event (there was none on the map) and a family of two that went on a course without being processed through the start.  Nevertheless, I heard a lot of positive comments from the participants about the event and the courses.

We had one unusual component at this event:  a 3-part, one-person relay.  The structure was that at the end of each part, the competitor could choose to go to the finish or to go on to the next part.  That decision could be based on how tired the person was, how much time was left (there was a 3-hour limit), and what the next part looked  like (the competitor was allowed to look at it before deciding).  So, we had people do just one part, the first two parts or all three parts - see the results.  For people who did all three parts, the splits show the fastest time for each leg highlighted; this showed a surprising result as five of the seven participants were fastest on at least one leg.  It should also be noted that Todd Pownell, who did only two parts, would was faster on four of the legs than anyone who did all three parts.  (See the splits)

Thanks to Scott Zang & family, Sherry Shank, Jett Downey, and Laurie Opila for handling registration.  Thanks to Emma Livingston, Dave Battista, Russellyn Carruth and Joe Logan for running start/finish.  Thanks to Jen Livingston and Naomi Jarvis for doing instruction.  And thanks to Jen Livingston, Alexis Rzewski, Dave Battista, Sean Livingston, and Yaki Barak for doing control pickup.
