Patapsco Granite

Results are also posted on Attackpoint and on WinSplits.

The groundhog got it right this year: we had an early Spring which was enjoyed immensely by 230 orienteers who hit the woods at QOC’s Patapsco Granite meet Saturday, March 9. People from far and wide came out to enjoy the challenging courses set out by course designer Jan Merka. Everybody seemed to have a great time, including a quite a few happy dogs who had energy remaining for some romping in the meadow after completing the course with their humans. Thank you to the St. Alphonsus Rodriguez church for the use of their parking lot. It turned out to be the perfect location.

As with any QOC event, volunteers are the main ingredient for a successful meet. Helping with set-up was John Billingslea and Beth Benzinger. Charo Bishop, Luisa Bishop, Iona Fleming, John Spain, Doug and Kris Oursler, and Don Davis were on the front lines handling registration. Elliott Hamilton and Mike Newman instructed new orienteers on all the basics. Amy Loudon, Jon Torrance and Andrew Bishop covered ePunch duties for the day, overcoming a dead battery with extra long extension cords to make sure everybody got their results. Controls were retrieved by Jody Landers, Doug and Kris Oursler, Johan Aström and Kim, Anne and Esben Jepsen. The crew was quite relieved to see Kim bring back with his controls one way-overdue orienteer! Thank you from all thirsty orienteers to Jan’s daughter Alexis for helping to bring the water to the water controls.
