course results: Streamer Score

Broad Creek North
March 18, 2006

Meet Director: Bill Carruth
Course Designer: Jan Merka
The Broad Creek Score 'O was graced with a brilliant day and snow cover of an inch or two. The day started with temperatures below freezing and early competitors reported good running while toward the end of the afternoon the snow got a little mushy. We had thirty-six registered competitors, with an unusually strong showing from the adventure racing community. The junior competitors loved the Streamer 'O course, and there were cries of glee as they approached the finish line. A couple of adults who ran the Streamer 'O course did not look quite as fresh as the official competitors they accompanied!

Jan Merka's Score 'O course was well conceived and offered competitors lots of strategic choices with several distinct area to choose from, and lots of physical features to work with. If you have never run Broad Creek, it's a beautiful place that is well worth a visit. The snow definitely challenged the competitors to exercise a slightly different set of map reading skills as it obscured some trails and made others more obvious. Most of us found the elevation changes were significant, and not many came back with dry feet.

Many thanks to Dagmar Merka, David Levine, Greg & Kathleen Lennon, and to Life Scouts Mike Keller and Stephen Carruth, and to others I have probably missed. As a first time meet director I was truly impressed at the way members stepped forward to make the meet run smoothly. And kudos to Jan Merka for a fun and challenging course!
