North Park
Orienteering Event
10 November 2019

It was a good day for orienteering; temperature in the low 50's and a bit of wind.  Based on preregistration numbers, turnout was expected to be fairly low.  However, that was not the case; we had 59 starts from a total of 112 people.  There were a number of people who took advantage of the map fee pricing for the day and did two courses.  We used up nearly all of the maps that were printed and actually ran out of maps for two of the courses (Long Sprint and Long Middle).

Andy Strat designed four courses for the event.  The courses were a bit unusual compared to our usual offerings.  The two Sprint courses were set at a Beginner/Novice difficulty level with distances of about 3 and 5 km.  The Short Middle course was like a cross between an Intermediate and an Advanced Short course at about 3 km.  The Long Middle was like a cross between an Intermediate and an Advanced Medium course at about 5 km.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the courses.  There were a few disqualifications as several people mistook one control for a different one.  The two long courses included some serious competition for the winning time with Kevin Fisher winning both courses.

Thanks to Debbie Stiles, Mark Puda, Joe Logan and Ryan Knecht for handling registration.  Thanks to Barbara Johnstone and Jim Trautmann for helping with start/finish.  Thanks to Joe Logan and Andy Strat for conducting instruction sessions.  And thanks to Naomi Jarvis, James Fenn, Kevin Fisher and Dave Battista for doing control pickup.

This event is the last one for 2019 offered by WPOC.  The schedule for most 2020 events should appear on the website  about the end of January.  The two early year events (ski-orienteering and Raccoongaine) will take place on January 12 and March 28-29, respectively.  These will appear in the schedule by the end of November.
