Geolog-O Results

Wednesday, August 31, 2016
Earthquake Park

53 people came out for the glorious end-of-August weather at Earthquake Park, enjoying warm sunshine and almost no bugs. The meet included traditional red, green and orange courses, as well as a Geolog-O that tested participants’ navigation, map reading, and knowledge about Earthquake Park (supplemented by the “Inside the Slide” informational signs). Cory Smith bested the field in the Red course by more than 4 minutes; Brian Durrell was fastest on the green course and Jeremy Johnson on the orange. Hilary Hanson and the Hodes family were just 10 points shy of perfect 170-point scores on the Geolog-O.

Thanks to the following volunteers for helping put on this meet: Lexi Hill as Meet director, Corrie Whitmore, planning and ground truthing the courses; setting Geolog-O course controls, manning the table, buying and bringing the snacks. Regan Sarwas, fixing the map, vetting the courses, setting almost all the controls on the day of the meet(!!), helping set up the tables and returning to take down controls; Mischa and Erik Carlson, taking down controls (thanks to Regan, Mischa and Erik, all were down by 9:30!!!)
