It was another very nice day for orienteering, where we were. (Not far away, there was massive flooding from hurricane Ivan.) Temperatures were in the low 60's. We had quite a variety of first-timers, undoubtedly attracted by all the advertising that Deb Beisel did. We had a pretty good turnout considering that hurricane Ivan went through two days before.
This was our first participation in National Orienteering Day so we were able to give a few prizes to the winners on each course (Brunton compasses on White and Yellow courses and MapTech software on Score). We also added one new club member, Ken Fletcher, at this meet. Several participants went on more than one course. Particularly impressive was Jerry Agin who went out on Score, then placed first on Yellow, finishing just in time to help us pick up points.
This was Bryon Roland's first venture
at meet directing; he did a very good job - Everyone seemed pleased with
the event. Thanks to Loretta Opila for running registration, to Jennifer
Livingston and Deb Beisel for running the start, to Anne Hoover for helping
to put out controls, and to Al Sheaffer and Jerry Agin for helping with
control pickup.
