The final day of the championships is – as usual – the 80m classic event. The location was similar to that of the 2m event, just North of the campground. The weather was a bit colder than in the previous days, but much drier. The forest was no different though. Many thanks for Charles Scharlau […]
Read MoreSaturday’s event was the 2m classic. Only 5 transmitters, much fewer than the previous days. Everything went fine, we didn’t have any technical issues today. We were also grateful for the trails on the course today: the top finishers all made good use of them. The performance of the day is definitely Eduard Nasybulin’s 82 […]
Read MoreOn Friday we continued with fox orienteering under drier conditions. The weather was close to perfect for orienteering and the forest was dry enough. The new format (where foxes are spread over three different frequencies and two modes) is in line with international competitions. Most people adapted to it fairly quickly. There was ample opportunity […]

Read MoreOn Saturday we shifted gears to do fox-orienteering. Dave Waller designed some challenging courses for us. Several competitors complained that the frequency on some transmitters was slightly off, enough that the transmitters couldn’t be heard on the nominal frequency. We are investigating that issue.

Read MoreOn May 9 on Mother’s Day we had our first open sprint for this year. The event didn’t start as well as I planned, because in the morning there was a 5k running race, and park was closed for cars and I could not start putting controls, that’s why the start was late and I […]
Read MoreAfter a wave of showers forced us to postpone the event, we managed to hold it on January 2 instead of January 1. The weather was somewhat dry, but a bit colder than expected. Still, 22 runners/teams attempted the challenge, some running full steam, others walking, jogging or pushing their kids in a stroller. There […]
