Raccoon Creek State Park
Raccoongaine X  --  3-hour
30 March 2019


It was a warm, wet day for the 3-hour event.  Temperatures were in the 60's; there was a little rain at the start and off-and-on during the event.  The high temperatures led to many, many tick sightings.  Hopefully everyone managed to remove the little creatures before they could do any harm.  We had a surprising amount of parking space left over; the participants must have out-done themselves in carpooling this year.  Thanks to the participants for their carpooling efforts.

This year, for the first time, we separated the 3-hour course from the 6-hour one.  There were 25 controls on the 3-hour course (four were mystery controls).  Although the 3-hour course used a part of the map that is also held the 6-hour course, none of the 3-hour controls were also on the 6-hour course.  This led to 3 or 4 teams punching a 6-hour control, presumably by mistake.  There were five each of 10-point, 20-point, 30-point, 40-point and 50-point controls.  Three of the mystery controls were 20-pointers; one was a 10-pointer.  The lateness penalty was 11 points per minute.  There were 69 teams registered for the 3-hour course, 61 actually started.

Brian Mayer was the overall men's winner with 610 points.  Olga Huber was the overall women's winner with 330 points.  Team Spang was the overall mixed winner with 370 points.  None of these teams had ever run in the 3-hour event before, although all three had done the 6-hour multiple times before.

A lot of people helped to make the Saturday, 3-hour, event possible.  Thanks to Alexis Rzewski for designing the courses and placing controls.  Thanks to Dave Battista for vetting the course.  Thanks to Yaki Barak, Sherry and Alexis Shank, and Laurie Opila for handling packet pickup.  Thanks to Kevin Fisher, Jen Livingston, Andy Strat and Joe Logan for directing parking.  Thanks to Laurie Opila, Jen Livingston and Joe Logan for preparing the food.  Thanks to Joe Logan for checking people in at the Finish.  Thanks to Sydney Fisher and Jen Livingston for doing control pickup.  
Jim Wolfe handled registration, download and produced results; he also placed and picked up controls.

Also, thanks to our sponsors:  Dicks Sporting Goods, Zanfel and NoGo.
