10 Dec 2017, Umstead State Park
This year’s long score event at Umstead came on a beautiful, though chilly, Sunday in the Piedmont. The course was especially long, offering 47 controls to runners in either a 2-hour or a 6-hour race. The course stretched so far to the southeast that a new map was created that linked-up Umstead state park with Schenck forest. Six controls in Schenck forest (and two along the way) came with especially high point values, and so several runners on the 6-hour course were easily tempted into that area. Punching all 47 controls within the 6-hour time limit proved to be just slightly too hard of a challenge, and everyone had to leave at least a few unpunched. Recent snow and rain had swollen the creeks, which added to runners’ difficulties. Very few places allowed safe passage over Reedy or Sycamore creeks, and this undoubtedly cost most runners a significant chunk of time.
The 6-hour race was amazingly close. Robert Enochs punched 43 controls in just under 5 hours and 59 minutes. Cutting it even closer, Kevin Wilkinson punched 44 controls in just seconds under 6 hours. Although Kevin punched more controls, Robert’s were worth slightly more points, and so Robert squeaked through as champion – his second victory in three years.
Richard Stuart turned in a very impressive and smart performance to earn top honors in the 2-hour event. Richard was able to nab a bunch of the higher-valued controls, in addition to many of the low-valued controls clustered in the south of the course. He also finished with nearly 15 minutes to spare!
Everyone involved in the race should be interested in checking-out this web page:

This page illustrates different runner’s routes over the course. If you have your own gps track for your effort, you can also upload it to this page so that others can compare your choices with theirs. This “Route Gadget” is an excellent tool for post-race analysis.
Many thanks to the volunteers who helped with this event. Foremost is Debra Rezeli, who both set a batch of controls and picked up a huge bunch after the event. Jonas Karlsson also offered significant help with putting out controls; and Harold Meder spent several hours on Monday – after being out for 6 hours the day before – helping to clear controls from Schenck.
Results follow. Because of the manual punches, these results required an unusual amount of editing by hand, which introduces an increased risk of mistakes. Please let me know if you see anything wrong by sending me an email at dw.orienteer@gmail.com
