Spring Lake Results

October 31, 1999

by Gary Kraght, event director

A beautiful mild fall day greeted 165 lost souls condemned to wander the reaches of Spring Lake and Annadel on October 31. Nary a ghost nor goblin was sighted, but there sure were a lot of crazy people in pajamas. Below are the complete results.

When designing the courses for the Spring Lake event, I started with two rules: 1) thou shalt have long legs, and 2) thou shalt witness the glories of Annadel. So I set Orange and advanced courses using a minimum of Spring Lake, and a maximum of Annadel. And I tried to keep the average leg length above 500m for the advanced courses, and threw in a one kilometer leg on Orange and Red.

We had 97 people on White and Yellow, many of whom were Girl and Boy Scouts. Winner on White was BAOC's own U.S. champion in M10, Malcolm Wyatt-Mair. Yellow was led by Deron van Hoff, a newcomer from San Francisco. A difficult Orange course was bested by Leif Kirschenbaum, who ran the course in costume and was almost 20 minutes faster than his closest competition. George Minarik won the short Green course, followed closely by archrival Dennis Wildfogel, Bob Cooley, and Penny DeMoss. Everyone except Dennis has set courses at Annadel. And on Red, Wyatt Riley blazed through the 6.0 course in 58 minutes, less than 10 minutes per kilometer on a course with more than six percent climb. Wyatt's wife, Angelica, was first woman on Red.

I had a helpmate, without whom the event would not have happened. Scott Aster, BAOC president, vetted and set all of the controls and water, as well as designing the White and Yellow courses. Helpers on the day of the event were: Starts - Mary Lawson and daughter Francis, Beginner's Clinics - George and Leslie Minarik, Registration - Tom and Sandy Guldman, Finish - Scott Aster and Julie Wells, Greeter - David Meredith, Control Pickup - Harold and Penny DeMoss and Leif Kirschenbaum, General Gofer - Steve Miller. Thank you, everyone. There are a lot of tasks involved in putting on a "simple" orienteering event, and we prosper through our volunteer energy.
