Hoyles Mill
For BUMBLE splits, click here.
Another Bumble is in the books! With cooperating weather, more than 200 people came out to enjoy courses on a brand new map! Many thanks to Nadim Ahmed, who created the Hoyles Mill/South Germantown Recreation Park map and to Mike Newman for securing three permits! We also appreciate all of the hard work Greg Lennon did to develop a special registration format and Valerie Meyer did to print and seal maps.
As is our tradition, we are happy to announce our winning Bumblers. Since we weren’t able to do a Mass Start this year, we are recognizing the fastest male and fastest female of each Bumble course. Congratulations to Joe Barrett for defending his 2020 title for Top Bumbler and to all of the folks listed below for cruising through their courses, thorns and all!
Beige = Adam Bee (28:35) and Julie Hudson (36:59)
Brown = Peggy Dickison (50:33) and Jason Weber (53:58)
Green = Ken Walker, Jr. (69:28) and Angelica Riley (98:44)
Red = Vido Aleksiev (109:12) and Addie Nolan (119:22)
Blue = Joe Barrett (90:56) (no female awardee)
Each of the top finishers will receive their very own BUMBLE MASK (we had to mark the pandemic in some way!). We also want to recognize and award Alexis Merka with the “Most Aggressive Bumbler” award for “bouncing up” and successfully completing the RED course in 167:00. Great job, Alex!
And of course, no event is possible without the many volunteers who keep things moving smoothly and ensuring everyone has an awesome experience. Jeff Haskell arrived early to help with set up, as did Amy Louden to get the e-punching system ready to roll. Dasa Merka, Stephanie Coffin, Jeff Haskell and our newest volunteer, Hannah Neloms, did a terrific job in checking in participants and handing out maps. Dave Levine kindly took on the challenging task of breaking up the thick ice surrounding the finish to make sure no one went flying as they raced to end their course. He then hung out with Head Bumbler/Course designer, David Onkst, to help organize our mini group starts. Valerie Meyer, Amy Louden, and Lailah Strube registered everyone’s e-punch while sharing lots of happiness with Valerie’s “bouncy” pom poms and Amy’s yummy post-race cookies. And wrapping up the day were Addie Nolan, Glenn Pastel, Chris Gross, Tom Wells, Howie Weinstein, Erin Brandt, and Colin McKee who picked up controls, and Kim Jepsen, Dasa Merka, and Ted Good helped clean up. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! You are SUPER DUPER QOC members!
And finally, thank you to Sid Sachs for organizing the post event course review. Twenty two bumblers joined the call. Unfortunately, we didn't record the session, but David is happy to chat with any of you who have questions. Also, be sure to check out event photos on QOC's Facebook page, with thanks to Kathleen Lennon for posting them!
Looking forward to Bumble #10 in 2022.
-Heidi and David
