Event Write-Up
By
Over 150 participants came out on Saturday, to tour the most scenic urban National Park in the country. While the rest of the Bay Area roasted in the early summer heat, we enjoyed sunshine, light ocean breezes, and temps in the mid 60's.
Course setter Greg Khanlarov set four courses, which explored not only the less developed upper reaches, but also more technical areas east of the cemetery, with some controls all the way to the easternmost reaches of the Presidio. Starting our course from Ft. Scott allows us to design even the beginner courses to wend their way through the less crowded, more open, western half of the park. The courses were very well received, the finishing times were in the expected range, and we had very few DNFs!
One of the more unusual challenges of orienteering in the Presidio involves avoiding the many out-of-bounds areas, which are usually, though not exclusively, housing tracts. While we can run along sidewalks and streets through most of the housing areas, participants are prohibited from cutting across private lawns, yards, and garden areas. Greg did a good job of designing courses to keep people away from such areas, but some competitors were tempted to cut through such areas anyway. In the future, we need to emphasize to all participants not to enter any such areas, even if the map seems to indicate such a route is viable. Following these rules is part of our agreement with the Presidio, and we don't want to jeopardize our ability to hold events here in the future!
Our events couldn't happen without the help of many club members. Course setter Greg spent many hours planning the courses, hung all the bags the morning of the event, and picked up a fair number at the end of the day. Jay Hann as Western Race Services ran E-punch and results, and his large results screen was a big hit with all the participants.
Mary Fairchild, with her wonderful dog Maddy, Sharon Evans, and Matthias Kohler handled starts throughout the day. The finish was just steps away from the E-punch tent, so no staffing was necessary there. Gary Kraght handled registration single handedly. Brian Cilker and Trevor Pering helped with setup, while Trevor and Jeff Goodwin both gave beginner clinics. Olga Kraght and Gavin Wyatt-Mair helped out with take-down at the end of the day, and finally, Greg Khanlarov, Mark Blair, and Julia Doubsen went out and picked up controls at the end of the day, helping us to clean up and clear out by 3:30 PM.
Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed a day of fun, very scenic, orienteering.

Summer Series Points
The methodology of determining Summer Series points is explained here. In particular, note that group/team entries do not earn points, and 21-year-old male is assumed if we don't have your birth year ("M21" below). (Also keep in mind that BAOC membership is required [by the final event] for the Series cumulative awards [but not to earn points].)
