March 27, 2011 Lake Crabtree Results
First the event had to be moved from Umstead due to a bad event permit application. Then, on the night before the event a prolonged rainstorm threatened to shut down the trails at Crabtree and further derail plans. I was contemplating pulling a Vandervecken(*) (cue the ghostly image of the orienteering event director glimpsed through the woods forever setting and recovering controls for an event which never occurs) when we got the opportunity to speak with a ranger opening the gate and received permission to hold the event so long as we were discreet and stayed off the trails. Since the courses were designed to stay off the trails anyway, this was no problem and the event was on.
The weather was wet and cool, perfect for running. The woods were filled with flowering plants, both trees and small ground flowers. Visibility in the woods was still excellent.
The courses were designed as more of a training exercise than as regular orienteering courses. Legs were rapid and numerous. In some cases, one control could serve as an attack point for the next one, while in others a series of close controls would lull the orienteer into a sense of complacency only to be folowed by a more tricky leg. The number and density of controls challanged concentration and focus, at a venue where challanging distance running and longer route choice was not really an option. Although we pushed the limits of what an SI card can store (30 controls being the limit), there were no problems with overfilled cards due to extraneous punches.
And if all of this weren’t enough to make for a good day, Holly brought brownies. Yay Holly!
* Vandervecken was a Dutch captain during the age of sailing vessels, who was trying to sail around the Cape of Good Hope. Battling storms and contrary winds, and getting nowhere in the process, he swore a might oath that “he would round the Cape or spend the rest of eternity trying”. Mariners still claim during stormy weather off the coast of Africa to see the ghostly apparition of the cursed ship, the Flying Dutchman, still struggling to complete the voyage around the Cape.
So long as we are talking about sailing captains, William Bligh of the H.M.S Bounty faced a similar problem. He also fought unfavorable winds trying to sail around Cape Horn. After making no headway for a month, he turned his ship around and sailed completely around the world to come at his objective from the opposite direction. Now this was an orienteer who understood that if you cannot reach your control from one attack point to try coming in from a different approach. He could also be said to be one of a select few to have intentionally made a 180 and still gotten to his control.
