QOC Board Meeting

Some people will do anything to avoid a meeting, but really, at least the ones we hold beat many alternatives!

The next QOC Board of Directors meeting will be held this coming Tuesday, Oct. 19 in Fairfax, at the house of Gary Smith, our VA VP of Competition. Food will be served starting at 7pm, and the meeting will go from 7:30 - 9:30.

Please let Gary know by Monday if you will be attending; he'll email you address details.

Avalon Results and Route Gadget Posted

The QOC meet at Avalon in the Patapsco State Park had great running weather and many volunteers that helped with its organization. Ted Good prepared a new map and set up challenging courses that ventured in never before used areas. Almost a hundred individuals and groups started on Ted's courses.

Bushwhacker Adventure Running Race

In addition to the QOC event at Lake Accotink, there was other navigational action going on in QOC-land last Sunday in the form of EX2's Bushwhacker Adventure Running Race, a nominally 10 mile trail race from Hemlock Overlook Regional Park to Fountainhead Regional Park with the twist that runners were allowed to take off-trail shortcuts navigating by map and compass. QOC was well represented by overall winner, Jon Torrance, third female overall, Peggy Dickison, and a sweep of the first four positions in the Male 45-49 category by David Onkst, Andy Britton, Nadim Ahmed and Jon Pifer.
