Ski-Orienteering
Meet
It turned out to be a pretty good day for ski-orienteering, temperature
in the low 20's. There was a fair amount of wind
and the snow was a bit thin in some places; however, everyone
managed to get around the courses and have a good time. The
turnout was rather small; it is hard to predict the reason - perhaps
because this was our alternate date for the event. We had 22
starts from only 25 people.
Naomi Jarvis designed two courses and nearly everyone was successful in
completing them. There was an unusually large amount of
competition in the short course times with 6 of the 8 participants
within 8 minutes of the winning time. On the long course, the
Merkas from QOC stormed in and grabbed three of the top for places -
they pretty much did that last year too.
Thanks to Ryan Knecht and Loretta Opila for handling registration.
Thanks to Eric Steinbring for helping with Start/Finish.
Thanks to Naomi for doing both map & compass
instruction and ski instruction. And thanks to Jim Trautmann,
Dagmar Merkova, Alex Merka, Dave and Bobbi Battista for doing control
pickup.
Our next event is Raccoongaine on March 30-31; it is already sold out.
The next regular event will be at Northmoreland Park on April
13.
