43 orienteers braved windy, snowy, rainy conditions, and more than a bit of brush to participate in the first orienteering meet in Bird Valley in decades. The short course proved to be the most popular, but two teams finished the long course, which included long legs and a stream crossing.
Thanks to John Wolfe for helping with setup last week and Diane Van Dommelen for spending the whole day out in the weather and helping to pull controls.
Hey, to follow up on the annual meeting door prizes: I tried to snag some free shoes from VJ Shoes but was rebuffed. But, they offered a $10 discount to any club member. Use the code AOC-VJ.
Here are the results. Jen Jolliffe and Ian Moore won the long course and Lindsey and Vebjorn Flagstad won the short course. I apologize in advance for misspelled names.
