Lake Johnson Night-O
First and foremost, I owe everybody an apology for the long-delayed post, I did not have time to finish the script that was computing the results.
Despite the weather, a good number of people showed up, and everybody was in good spirits. For a moment I thought we were going to be really lucky – the rain almost stopped around 2:30PM, when I went to pick up the maps from Kinko’s. However, by the time I started to hang controls, around 4:30, the rain was in full force, and it lasted probably enough to get me drenched to the bone. Right before the event start, however, the rain seemed to taper off a bit. The cloud cover was glowing from city lights, so at least we did not have a very dark event.
Something we will have to address in the future, especially in cold weather, is sticking to the schedule. I waited for late participants, and after explaining the rules and moving to the mass-start location, we ended up starting a few minutes before 20:00. I am sure people dressed for running did not appreciate the delay.
I think I over-complicated things a bit too – the odd/even type of event was probably OK for Lake Johnson during the day, but it was way too much for a night-o. I do believe it’s an interesting twist that will allow us to run longer score-o events in small parks, but in this case 34 controls spread out on both sides of the park were probably enough even for the fastest runners.
As several people pointed out, there were several mistakes too. I misplaced the easiest control (#41) because, being the easiest, I did not hang ribbons for it, and I placed the control right before the start, with no flashlight. Then, control #55 was placed about 25m East of the location on the map (and in this case, the map was wrong). Finally, control #42 may have been too far down the reentrant (even though I did pace-count trying to get it right).
Many thanks to everybody who generously helped throughout the event: Terese Camp with registration, Roman Kraus, Bob May, Sandro Gisler, Artem Kazantsev, Vladimir Stemkovski, Ruth Bromer and Ken. Hanson with control pick-up, Joseph Huberman for reviewing the map and fixing the print layout.
The “pts” column is the number of points after the penalties were deducted; “ptt” is total number of points, “pen” is the total penalty.
The format for a control punch in the lines below: the number of points#control number (number of points can be 0 if picked up twice or out of order), the total time and the split time for the control (on separate lines).
Please let me know if you spot inaccuracies in the results.
