An exceptional turnout enjoyed Nadim's fine courses, set in the forested and fast terrain of Great Falls, despite the near freezing windy day. [Hot beverages afterwards probably helped participants a bit too.] Park staff monitoring our event were pleased as well, though apparently the deer were very confused by the fleet-footed company sharing the woods with them.
This meet also saw the debut of the “borrow a GPS watch” program, designed to help members improve their orienteering and get more familiar with the technology. Each participant's data has been uploaded by coordinator Jon Torrance directly to RouteGadget (head to the bottom of each course roster to see the 'GPS' designation).
We did experience a technical glitch for which we're sorry; the "split printer" connected to the epunch software failed, and so we were unable to provide results to participants. We are working on this issue (which also affected many runners at Oregon Ridge) and definitely hope to regain our ability to provide both individual and per-course result printouts by our next meet at Meadowood on Dec. 19.
An all-star volunteer crew braved the chilly temps; many thanks to Nadim Ahmed, Mike Berry, Josh Blaustein, Russ Damtoft, Don Fish, Mike Ford, Joe Garman, Laudeir Gomes, Erik Gruner, Elliot & Linus Hamilton, David Levine, Sam Listwak, Valerie Meyer, Mike Newman, Heidi Onkst, Scott Pleban and Svetlana Sokolova, backed up by Tom Nolan, Ken Walker and Dan Quinn - thanks to all of you for being available!
