Although I was listed as Event Director for this event, it was mostly other people who did all the work at Gray Owl. (I am going to leave open for the moment the possibility that other people doing all the work is what being the Director is all about.)

Josef Trzicky designed the courses, hung and picked up all of the controls (except one which he left for Joseph to retrieve). He also shuttled all of the advanced runners to the remote start.

Joseph Huberman did the Condes drafting, some course revisions, and most of all taught the class. The class this time was special, something the club does only once every couple of years: an Advanced Difficulty Training Workshop. Joseph covered such topics as Catch Features, Aiming Off, Attack Points, and Map Handling. The attendees, of which there were about seven, went out into the woods as a group to practice these skills, map and compass in hand, with Joseph talking through each of the points as they went.

Ruth Bromer also assisted with printing maps. In addition, Ruth regularly handles the often unmentioned and unthanked task of handling the club’s accounting: maintaining the club’s incomes and expenditures, tracking club memberships, and keeping us in good standing with the national organization OUSA through which we get our insurance which is critical to parks ever allowing us to hold our events on their land.

Forecast precipitation did not materialize, so conditions were dry and somewhat cool.

Following the running of courses, we enjoyed a nice pizza lunch, plus several sides brought by members.
