Orienteering Meet

It was a beautiful fall day, temperatures in the 50's and low 60's, a great day for orienteering. We had a very large turnout; that was partly expected because of the large number of preregistrations; but there were an additional 20-some entries from people who just showed up. This resulted in a long waiting line and a few complaints about the wait, mostly because so many people arrived at the near the same time. Clearly, many newcomers are not getting the message that they can arrive and start anytime in registration/start window. In contrast to the long line, during the last 40 minutes of registration/start, there were only 3 starts and 2 of those were on a second course. All in all, we had 84 starts including 186 people.

Alexis Rzewski designed three courses for the event: a 4-hour score course, a beginner course and a novice course. The score course was handled separately from the other two; it had a mass start before registration began for the other two courses. There were relatively few DNFs on the novice course where control #3 seemed to be the hardest. There were a few more DNFs on the beginner course; this was not unexpected as we had a large number of first-timers.

The score course went very well; all the comments I heard were positive. Here is a brief analysis of a couple of things about the course. Controls 45 and 46 were the closest to the start and so were natural choices to "first control to visit". The first person to reach these controls did so with excellent times (Jim Trautmann reached 45 in 1:57 and John McCormick reached 46 in 1:53). Conntrols 45 and 46 were also very popular as the last control to visit. However, there were a surprising number of other controls that were last for some participants. All of these were the last control for somebody: 49, 51, 52, 54, 60, 61, 63, 71, 74, 75 and 76. Some of these choices clearly reflect running out of time. I also looked at the frequency of visits to our most distant controls: 74, 75, 78 and 79. I was surprised to see that more than half of the participants had visited control 78, while controls 75 and 79 tied for least visited at 9 visits each. I did not expect to see any visit all four of these controls; but I was wrong. Jim Trautmann is the only person to visit all four - that may have contributed to him being 21 minutes late.

Thanks to Joe Logan and Dave Battista for vetting the courses. Thanks to Joe Logan for helping to put out the controls on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to John Huffman, Laurie Opila, and Giuseppina Mecchia for handling registration. Thanks to Sherry Shank and Dave Battista for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Joe Logan, Jen Livingston and Alexis Rzewski for providing instruction. And thanks to Alexis, Rzewski, Dave Battista, Christee and John Homan, Joe Logan and Jen Livingston for picking up controls.
