Pine Ridge Park
8 November 2020
Orienteering Meet


It was a very warm day for November; the temperature was up to 70 with a lot of sun and little wind.  We had a larger than expected turnout, probably partly because of the weather.  There were 46 starts from a total of 85 participants.

Ryan Knecht designed five challenging courses; all of them had substantial climb - an unavoidable characteristic of Pine Ridge.  Although the times were somewhat slow, everyone seemed to have a good time.  The Advanced Short course was really the first half of the Advanced Long course; consequently, it was set up as a map exchange so both participants  on both courses would have an option:  at the map exchange, anyone could decide to just return to the finish or go on the the Advanced  Long course.  We had some participants do each of these.  Kevin Fisher won the Advanced Long course by a substantial margin; however, Todd Pownell actually beat Kevin through the first five controls - see the splits.

Thanks to Andy Shissler, Laurie Opila, Giuseppina Mecchia, Ryan Knecht and Gavin  Phillips  for handling registration.  Thanks to Joe Logan and Gavin Phillips to conducting instruction - I know Joe was kep particularly busy.  Thanks to Sherry Shank for helping with start/finish.  And thanks to John Huffman, Eric Steinbring, Alexis Rzewski, and Kevin Fisher for doing control pickup.
