It was a wonderful day of orienteering with some sun, moderate temperatures, and most importantly no deluge of rain. Linda Kohn and Kim McGann set some interesting and challenging courses. The most popular course ended up being the string-O once e-punches were added to all the controls and a few extra twists such as diving under and over picnic tables. Apparently many orienteers still had plenty of energy left after running their courses, because there was fierce competition on the string-O event. Who knows maybe we have a new club series in the making.

The meet would not have been possible without many volunteers. Many thanks go out to:

Oatka String-O

The first-ever ROC Electronic Punch String-O was held on 6/5 in conjunction with the regular meet at Oatka Creek Park. Although the heat and humidity were high this was not a factor in the results...many made several attempts to show their speed and punching prowess. Kris was the first runner and set the bar at 1 min. 8 sec. His technique, especially making the "under-the-table" punch was soon copied by all. His time was not to stand, however, and was bested by several more experienced runners but he is to be commended for having the confidence to make the first run without the benefit of prior knowledge of the course. Maggie had the top time for a white runner, finishing 4th overall. Results Disclaimer: any discrepencies were not my fault - LK
