By Dave Takacs, Event Director Sunday was
a beautiful day for 'O' in Speaking
of courses, Jeff Thompson did a terrific job at his first try at Course
Setter. Of course, there were a few difficulties. Getting used to
two-foot contours threw a lot of competitors off their marks. And
the Lots of smiles, but only a few competitors. Not sure why that was. Got any ideas, throw me an e-mail. Besides
Jeff, who also stepped in at starts and finishes, those stalwarts of
Gold Country Orienteers were out in force for this event: Stew
Hintz, Ron Gross, Dwight Freund (vetted the course and did starts),
Jennifer Kerr (everything), Ellie Lightfoot (everything), Jessica
Lightfoot (first time at Finishes), and I had my first major session at
Registration (so that's how you learn who all these people are). Elliot
Rogers and Erick Holmes of CAP Squadron 14 helped load up the equipment
after they returned from attempting their first I'm giving a special Thank You to all the gang from BAOC who also stepped up and gave a hand, especially Kevin Walker, who showed up an hour early and was a great help setting up, and to Bob Cooley for getting the maps out under a deadline. The tie-in to the Ben Legg's Red Bluff Training Event seemed to work out for those lucky enough to participate (hmmm, maybe I can make it next time). All the workers got to run a course, and I had the luxury of letting people go early with all the help. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I hope the challenge wasn't too much for those who tried a harder course; remember, don't give up because you had one bad meet. We all learn from those challenges and thanks to the competitors who stayed a bit longer to share their knowledge. NEXT: Sunday, May 31 (no, not Memorial Day weekend, it is celebrated the weekend before), so no excuse not to join us there. Well, except for Church, or Schoolwork or Housework or Yardwork or Friends or Family (bring them along). Remember, each job at the meet helps to teach you something more about Orienteering, so Volunteer often! If you have any thoughts, on River Bend or any of our meets, please e-mail me. We try to make it fun. Hope you can join us. Bring a friend or three. Thanks again to all the wonderful Volunteers! RESULTS: White
