Results

from Phil Lacroute

A little rain never stopped an orienteer, and the weather made for some enjoyable running in the green hills at Joe Grant today (although maybe the afternoon downpours were not ideal for those of us who stayed to vote on bylaw amendments afterwards!). Many, many thanks to event director Tapio Karras, course setter Tac Sugiyma, and mapper Misha Kreslavsky for all the work to put on the event. I’d also like to thank Misha for staffing ePunch while I ran my course, and John Blakkan for arriving early to help with ePunch setup.

Here are the preliminary results. Please note the Yellow course was affected by a misplaced control.
