New Year's Sprint

Thanks to the 13 orienteers who turned out at Magness Tree Farm on New Year’s Day for the New Year’s Sprint. There was a white course for beginners and for intermediate and advanced orienteers, two sprint courses: a prologue and a chase. Conditions were wet, though not as bad as they were for control setting on New Year’s Eve. Even though the weather didn’t impact the orienteering, its impact was still felt. We lost power in the main building just before the start, rendering the laptop, printer, and e-punch units useless until Glen Cafferty brought up his van and ran e-punch from there. Then shortly prior to starting the chase, a tree came crashing down on the paved walkway near the building. Like most events, this couldn’t have happened without the help of volunteers: Glen Cafferty, Mal Harding, Virginia Church, Anndy Wiselogle, Vanessa Blake, John Bartholomew, and Steve Trautwein. Special thanks go to Bill Wood and Magness Tree Farm for their support, flexibility, and help. The Tree Farm looks to expand this year, so look for new areas to explore and more events on this increasingly popular map.
