Josef set a very challenging score course. No one got even close to collecting them all. Joseph got the most controls, however he should be disqualified because of his extensive home court advantage. There was a 5 point per minute overtime penalty for the first 5 minutes, then 10 points per minute after that. There […]

Read MoreDespite a late start, we had a fun day. Courses were fast and the one slightly misplaced control didn’t seem to slow anyone down. Several results are quite close and Ed and Patrick raced in to the finish with Ed beating Patrick by a bare two seconds. Thanks to Pat for help with setup and […]
Read More22 May 2016, Umstead North Dozens of orienteers, many of whom were first-timers, enjoyed the woods of Umstead on Sunday along one (or more) of seven different orienteering courses that ranged from beginner to expert. Most finishers returned in high spirits, and we hope to see everyone come back to our next open meet […]
Read MoreWe had excellent weather for a challenging event at Gray Owl, and I’m afraid there were more DNF’s than I like. The Davie HS teams picked the wrong event to move from Orange to Brown. The Orange to Brown transition is the most difficult in the sequence of courses, because while the length doesn’t change […]

Several families and groups came out, including some cadets who had come a good distance. We also had a visitor from Finland, Stefan Strandberg who ran the green course early and got to control #74 before […]
Read MoreIt was indeed very cold – the coldest day of the winter so far. But it was sunny too and a good day for a run. Kudos to all who came! All the courses Yellow and above seemed to be “on a difficult side of a scale” and it looks like people enjoyed an extra […]
Read MoreAlthough 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 […]
