Raven Rock
February 11, 2007

Artem Kazantsev Event Director

We had a very nice event due to beautiful weather. A lot of volunteers who filled all needed positions made it especially smooth and efficient. And we all were relived when everyone came back before the park was closed ;-)

A couple of changes to our standard meeting flow proved to be useful and somewhat challenging to others. A decoy control (IB) on Yellow fooled only one team (see results and comments below). Interviewing Yellow runners after the finish showed that they are a risk taking bunch: most of them cut through the woods without hesitation and did not see IB control that was set on the trail at all.
A number of runners took on the offer to switch between Red and Green courses in the middle of the race, after the 7th control. Having two courses on the same map may help us save paper  and toner (since the number of runners is hard to predict), so this option could be viable for the future events.

Advanced courses had rough enough time navigating through thick underbrush, crossing Campbell Creek and locating flags, which were not hidden, but set lower than usual. I'm glad that consensus was that all controls were at the right spots, so all difficulties were just a part of the course.

I would like to thank the following list of people for their volunteering and support:
We also extend our thanks to Superintendant Paul Hart for  support of BOK events and a great job he does for Raven Rock Park.

Thank you all who came to our event, see you all on the trails again!
Artem, the event director
