Pohick Bay

RouteGadget and splits on both WinSplits and Attackpoint are all now online for this event.

Sunday at Pohick Bay was, by all accounts, much more hospitable--weather-wise--than the cold, windy conditions prevailing the day previous at Patuxent Park. With winds having dropped over night and continuing to lessen during the event, bright sunny weather and a high near 50 degrees made for a very comfortable day for those who were moving on the courses.

In a very tight blue course competition, Eddie Bergeron edged Jon Torrance by 42 seconds. Non-QOC participants at the event included orienteers from the Cambridge Sports Union, Delaware Valley Orienteering Association, Hudson Valley Orienteering, Susquehanna Valley Orienteering as well as Fork Union Military Academy, Loudon County High School Naval Junior ROTC, and BSA Troop 786.

Thanks also to all the volunteers who supported the event:

Ryan and Jackie Hannah, Jeremy Gillespie, and Chuck Ferguson at the registration tables; Erminia Farenfield, David Onkst and Trish Strat on E-punch/Start operations; Ted Good, Jim Chaplin, and Bill Wright providing orienteering instruction at various levels; Don Ames, Neil Arnold, Stephen Magennis on control pick-up; and of course Karla Hulett for a great course design, aided by Gary Smith and Jacob Pierce and Valerie Meyer, as always, at the helm of the E-punch effort.

Finally, welcome to new QOC member Horace “Bash” Bashor.
