Clopper Lake

The day started off sunny and cold but, predictably, warmed up as it progressed - yay, astronomy, thermodynamics, meteorology, etc.! - and the orienteers came, early or late, depending on their hardiness to cold and other factors. Despite attempts at sabotage by beavers, construction activity, and new rootstocks and trails popping up in inconvenient places within the last few weeks before the event, mapper/course designer, Nadim Ahmed, obliged all comers with well-received courses of all levels, with green, red and blue participants enjoying running in some lovely new terrain south of the previous limits of the map.

In addition to Nadim, we owe a lovely day in the woods to the efforts of many volunteers. Heather Maher, Evgenia Matveeva, Chris Hemus, and Alexis Merka ably handled registration, with Michael Dickey greeting arriving orienteers during the early rush in his capacity as membership ambassador. David Levine, Mihai Sirbu and Peggy Dickison delivered beginner instruction as needed. Valerie Meyer, Amy Louden and Victoria Campbell delivered the high quality e-punch timing operation we've grown accustomed to being spoiled by in QOC. Controls were picked up by Nadim, Kim Jepsen, Ted Good, Don Fish, Michelle Fish, Sean Wilson, Dan Quinn, Charles Carrick and, doing double duty, David Levine.

Course results can be seen below as well as on Attackpoint and WinSplits. To enter your routes and check out how others went, head to RouteGadget.

Next event: this coming Sunday, April 17 on a new map! at Gunston Hall.
