Well, the rain didn't fall too heavily until control pickup time, so most competitors had a drier time than they might have expected! And almost 100 starts were recorded - pretty good stats for a bad weather day.
It was great to have a pavilion keeping us dry for registration, epunch processing and refreshments. Please welcome 2 new QOC members, Bryon Johnson and Christopher Burnett. The event went very well with help from our favorite volunteers. Thanks to Dan Quinn - course setter, Mihai Sirbu and Valerie Meyer - epunch, Julia Kalloz - registration, Nadim Ahmed, Greg Lennon, Sam Listwak, Amy Louden, Tom Nolan and Jon Torrance - controls pickup, Greg Lennon - hot water for chocolate, tea and coffee, and Amy Louden - delicious homemade cookies.
Several runners might note that their times have been reinstated or adjusted. Three controls were in incorrect positions during all or part of the event compared to where they were shown on the map (#154 on the ultrawhite course, #131 on the orange course, and #109 on the blue course).
RouteGadget and WinSplits are now online for this event.
Next QOC event: Sunday March 13. All seven classic courses + the (new) UltraWhite course at Pohick Bay Regional Park, near Lorton VA. All course information is now online and pre-registration is open.
