November 8, 2009 at Raven Rock State Park We had just perfect weather for the event this week. But the beautiful fall weather had the ground covered with a thick layer of leaves that pretty well obscured the trails. This was a particular problem going to the first control on the advanced courses. The problem…

It was a blustery day, but never managed to rain.  Joseph and Ruth set some very difficult courses including an 8.9K Blue course.  We had a couple of injuries, Pat Downey got a severe cut on his leg requiring medical attention by stepping into a stump hole where someone discarded some broken glass, and Patrik…

This event went quite smoothly, despite the last-minute reschedule from Lake Crabtree to Bond Park.

Let me start by saying that Birkhead is a technically difficult area, and Josef designed courses that took serious advantage of that characteristic and added an additional psychological twist at the first control. There is more…

We had great turnaround this time. There were 110 entries, which means that about 120 people came to the event!

Finally we got a really hot summer orienteering event. Merciful heat even early in the morning definitely added difficulty to the already “above average” sprint courses with unusual 1:7500 map scale. Apparently map scale wasn’t such a big issue after all. Main problems orienteerers talked about were: barely visible control circles on the map, disappeared…

The day went well, we got in and out before it got hot. Vladimir, Donald, and Josef led on Sprint A. Vladmir and Donald traded places for first in Sprint B. Actually Joseph squeeked in one second ahead of First place, however he had to withdraw because he set the courses. The results follow…
