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

Livingston, Dave Battista, Russellyn Carruth and Joe Logan for running
