And did you know pre-registration is now open for our Jug Bay event June 1? Free for members, and discounted even for non-members, but only if you pre-register, so why not do it now? Click here for the event webpage.
But returning to this, the penultimate event of the current QOC season, after a tough, seemingly endless winter and with our usual sweltering Mid-Atlantic summer fast approaching, conditions were, for at least one last shining day, wonderfully pleasant - mostly sunny but shady in the woods now that the leaves are fully out, Goldilocks temperatures - for running through one of the lovelier and faster (and steeper, in places) patches of mapped woods between Prince William Forest Park and the Mason-Dixon Line. Participants seemed to have enjoyed their courses accordingly. For making this possible, we have the following selfless volunteers to thank:
VA VP John Baker - set up and control pickup
Ed Enson - set up and registration
Ben Bloschock - registration
Bill Vienna - registration and control pickup
Bill Wright - parking control, registration and control pickup, all after running a half marathon that morning
Dan Pike - registration and control pickup
Liz O'Connell - guardian of compasses, keys, and licenses
Jim Chaplin - beginner instruction on his way home after working a third shift!
Will Schaefer - beginner instruction
Jon Torrance - course setting, parking control and control pickup
Jon Bertheussen - control pickup despite having rolled an ankle during his run
Tom Nolan - control pickup
and as usual Valerie Meyer and Amy Louden ran the e-punching operation to perfection (results up almost immediately + bonus delicious cookies!), assisted by Shirley Tan!
My possibly biased assessment - best volunteer crew ever!
