course results: Streamer White Yellow Orange Brown Green Red

Bowie
April 15, 2007

Meet Director: Jan Merka
Course Designer: Jon Torrance
The Bowie meet turned out to be rather adventurous due to the combination of navigationally challenging terrain and rainy, cold weather with maximum temperature of 47 F (compare that with last year's 82 F on the same day). Nevertheless, almost 50 groups and individual runners went out to find the controls and came back with unforgettable memories to share ("...and then I suddenly went scuba diving...", "... chest deep...", "... and the control is a knoll. I don't see any knolls. Wait a minute, there is an island...", or "[control pick-up] was the hardest $10 I've ever earned."). We also got new members: Eldon Oaks and Maguigad family, welcome to QOC and orienteering!

Many thanks go to Jon Torrance for setting up the courses, he had to make significant last moment changes to keep us on the ground (admittedly, the jury is still out whether he succeeded or the club should invest in scuba gear before the next Bowie meet). Furthermore, the meet could not have happened without help from other members: Dagmar Merkova and Greg Lennon managed the registration, Robert Herschbach and Mark Walderhaug manned the start/finish station, control pick up was done by Greg, Mark, Jon and Ted Good. Finally, Mike Brooks and David Levine helped to pack everything after the meet.
