Thirty brave souls braved the rain Wednesday evening to try to find controls scattered about Far North Bicentennial Park. Most tried the longer course of 21 controls, some on bikes and some on foot. The fastest biker, Allen Spangler finished in just over an hour, with a time of 1:00:10, beating the fastest runner, Ian Moore by just 8 minutes. Ian was faster than all other bikers, with Corey Smith finishing second on his bike with a time of 1:13:42. Karen Bronga was the quickest woman on the long course, biking around it in 2:02:19.
Springer Moore, on foot, found the 12 controls of the short course quicker than all others, in a time of 0:47:26, beating the bikers. Jen Joliliff, also running, was the fastest woman to complete the short course, with a time of 1:06:53.
Thanks to Mark Findlay and Jolene Caspersen for assisting with tent and table set up and registration. And to Tamara Kornfield and Nathan Betz for helping rassle the tent down and back into my car!
