Rocky Mountain Orienteering Club

Bear Creek Lake Park
September 18th, 2005
Sunday was a great day for orienteering. Great weather, National Orienteering Day, the Montrose NJROTC, and a String-O course brought out about 100 orienteers. Pre-printed course maps helped the starts go quite smoothly, and all but eliminated the back-ups we've had in previous years. A large beginner turnout kept Sherry and Kathleen quite busy with instructions, and made the White and Yellow courses very popular. The Brown course was also popular. James Scarborough came out of semi-retirement to blast through the course in 27:10. Although, Jason Poole insisted (jokingly) I give James a 10 minute penalty for forgetting his control card.
A funny thing happened to one control on the Brown course. After hanging the control on Saturday, a Scout Troop, while setting off model rockets from a nearby lot, started a small brush fire that burned the control. The metal frame and punch were still there -- see the picture below -- and everyone still was able to find it and get a punch.
This is the fourth year that I've set the courses here. Given the available terrain, I think it makes more sense to set Brown or Sprint-type advanced courses, rather than try to craft Red or Green courses. That was reinforced by the popularity and feedback from the Brown course. I also think that we should stop having a Bike-O here. Several riders still got flats, despite my best efforts to design the bike course around the bigger trails. I know that the map needs some work. Now that I have the OCAD file, I will continue to add some of the changes to the map.
Thank-you for everyone who participated and/or helped with the meet. Please let us know if we left your name off the String-O or control pick-up list.
