Bubba Goat Results (Nov 6, 2011)
It was a perfect day for running: the forest was clean and clear, but still bright and yellow; the sun was shining and the air was fresh and pure. And so the herd of orienteerers filled the woods and ran, ran, ran for many miles until everybody finished. Couldn’t have been better! It looks like…

Advanced Event at Schenck Forest (Aug 21) – Results
Well, it wasn’t that hot after all. At least not in the shelter… I know, it was still very hot and stuffy on the course. The water control came handy. There were several DNFs, mostly weather related, but the courses were also far from easy. Controls #4 (43), #8 (47) and #16 (55) turned out…

Also people who ran late got soaked (or should I say refreshed?) by a sudden storm. Huge thanks go to Artem and Mihai who picked up controls when running their second sprint courses. —…

Everything went smoothly and everybody seemed to be happy with the courses. Advanced courses (both with man made features and without) proved to be difficult yet still enjoyable. Strangely…
