Earthquake Park
While most orienteers enjoyed the challenging courses, the talk of the day was how treacherous the footing was in the wet and slippery park, and how unimaginably thick the mosquitos were. Several orienteers commented that even when they got lost they had to keep running in circles, because they could not stop to study their maps for fear the swarm of mosquitoes chasing them would overwhelm them. Despite the non-navigational challenges, the competition was keen with Ian Moore and Lindsey Flagstad taking top honors among men and women respectively on the red (long advanced) course. Cory Smith and Brittany Hippe won for men and women on the Green (shorter advanced) course. Up and coming junior Talia Smith beat all challengers on the yellow course.
Special thanks to Steve McKeever and Mark Findlay for going back into mosquito hell to retrieve the controls.
