First, Thanks to all of those 50 or so folks, who made it out to the EMPO Club Champs Orienteering event on Saturday, November 8th. The weather was fair, with a slight chill and a passing drizzle which left us uncomfortably chilly for the rest of the afternoon. Thank the Lord (and Thacher Park) for having such a large pavilion available to us at the Haile's Cave venue.
By far, the course of choice was Green, which had the single most Open class runners. Although our total championship competitor pool was somewhat small at only 18, the vast majority of these "Champ" runners ran the Red course.
The rains helped to launch us further into Fall Orienteering as the leaves were mostly off of the trees here in the northeast. Most times were relatively fast, as the open forest lent itself to sighting bags from a longer range, which in turn, reduced "fine" Orienteering errors as well as the recovery times when errors were encountered.
Cool too, was the employment of the Sport Ident system. It always adds a sleek element to an event as it eliminates the grumbling of a frustrated runner as he/she fusses around to apply a punch with dexterity while fatigued and cold. (Not to mention the added benefits of immediate splits and comparative results!). All in all, I am quite content with the healthy turnout given the late year conditions.
Lastly, events like these don't get accomplished without the loyal support of a core few. Thanks so much to the Hawkes-Teeters, the Trysons, the Jamesons, Bob Lange, Cynthia Johnson and Candice Raines, Gabor Bobok, Reid Smalley, Stina, and finally, my wife Kathy for all ya'll've done to help.
