Yesterday's meet in the rarely used Fountainhead East area of the park attracted a large group of participants and generated 216 total starts. We have been trying various ways of accessing that part of the park and finally succeeded albeit by employing a shuttle bus and with a long-ish walk to the start for orange-blue runners.

Additionally, QOC was happy once again to host the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics (NVSO) orienteering. Congratulations to all the olympic competitors.

The need to place the short and NVSO courses near to Shelter 1 and the parking lot while intermediate and advanced runners were running down towards Sandy Run resulted in greater-than-usual volunteer needs, and QOC members stepped up to the task as usual. Thanks on behalf of all event participants to those who put on the meet:

On early set-up--John Organek
At the registration table--Daniel Heimgartner, Bill Vienna, Beatri Bennett, Mike and Chris Bianchetta and Radka Herndon
Conducting beginner training--John Baker, Heidi Onkst, and Rick Oliver
At the orange-blue start--Bill Wright
On Control pick-up--Will Chesarek, Tingjun Ma, Tim McCormick, Oleg Volonsevich, Ed Enson, John Baker, Keg Good, Patrick Farley, Nyall Meredith, and Jon Torrance
E-punch team--Valerie Meyer and Amy Louden

Thanks also to Lance Elzie, Derek Milton and the whole crew at Fountainhead Regional Park for their excellent support to QOC.

See you this coming Saturday at Occoquan Regional Park! UPDATE - RouteGadget is now available for all courses.
