Peebles Island State Park
November 7, 2009
A fine time was had by all at the 2009 EMPO Championships on
Saturday, November 7th. Our club posted this year's nine new
champions, and it all happened on an unusually nice day at Peebles
Island State Park in Waterford, with bright sun and temperatures in
the 50s.
I had set most controls the afternoon before, and just had a few
left to hang on Saturday morning, along with dropping the jugs and
cups at the three water stops. Bill Jameson, Shelly and Kate got
there early and helped get things going. Phil Hawkes-Teeter set up
his SI equipment and we were on the way.
Christian Canham (M-12) surprised everybody, including me, by
whirling to the finish of the white course in just over 12 minutes!
Short times were also posted by Dylan Thies, Glen Tryson, Tori
Borish and others. They are all listed on the results grid.
Frank Boscoe managed to lose his new thumb compass on the trail
during his red course, but due diligence and three attempts at
finding it paid off, and at long last the wayward compass was
found.
Fred Pilon had a sticky situation, when his SI dibber refused to
confirm that he had visited one control on the red course. He later
actually supplied GPS proof that he had been at the spot where the
control was placed, so his time was adjusted and allowed to be
posted.
Grateful thanks go to Janet Tryson for relieving me of the burden
of selecting, acquiring and delivering the championship trophies,
some of which were actual trophies, others being jars of jams,
jellies, apple butter, etc. Melissa Miller was a helpful and
enthusiastic Park Manager, making sure we had rest rooms and
electricity available.
Other helpers were Phil on the SI setup, and control pickup went
quickly, managed by Janet and Glen Tryson, Frank Boscoe, Kathy
Fisher and myself. We managed to get the whole kit and caboodle
wrapped up and shipped out by 2:05pm!
Hope to see you next time, either in the spring or during the ski-o
season.

It was beautiful, if rather cool, day on EMPO's favorite "island
adventure" location. We had a nice turnout, though rather lower than
usual on the female side of the equation. Everyone thought Bob's
courses were great. And, the meet crew was done and outta there by
2pm! Thanks everyone, for being so speedy.
A couple of minor interesting (at least to me) points came up
regarding the SI timing gear:
-
2 or 3 times people cleared their dipstick (and I heard it
beep), but then it wasn't read by the Check box. The stick number
appeared in the box's "window", but there was no beep or
flash. Each time, a second clear resulted in the stick being
quickly read by the Check box as OK. I don't know if those sticks
would have worked properly in the field or not, but this
experience is making me think we really do need to always have a
Check box, just to be sure things are right.
-
One competitor (Fred Pilon) was reported by the SI system as
having missed one control. At first he wasn't sure if he had
actually been there, but later after discussion was certain that
he had been. A reading of the box in question at home tonight
shows an "Error" at about the time he should have been there (no
actual time recorded, but between two other correctly recorded
entries). I have no idea why this would occur, but will pursue the
question with my SI guru. Meanwhile, I've used the software to
mark Fred as OK, and estimated a time for that control based on
who he said was near him at that time. That doesn't affect his
overall time at all, which was correctly recorded.
