We could not have asked for a better weather for our 23rd annual Golden Goat event. The 2019 edition of the Goat was held in the beautiful hills of Shell Ridge Open Space in Walnut Creek. The event this year offered two advanced courses (Goat and Kid) and two beginner courses (White and Yellow). The competition was fierce on all the courses.

The results are all posted below, including a ranking of the new “The King of the Mountain” competition this year. The top three finishers on the Goat were: Siargey Pisarchyk, Riley Culberg, and Yurii Konovalenko. On the Kid, we had the following winners: Jeffrey Kabel, Takashi Sugiyama, and Andrej Masalkov.

I would like to give a special mention to our Junior, Amalie Ertmann, who was the first women and fourth overall on the Kid.

Leading the pack on the White course were in order: Chuck Spalding, Piotr Pisarchyk, and Andrei Pisarchyk. On the Yellow course we had the following top three finishers: Jason Reed, Erica Reed, and Chuck Spalding.

Now, to end the suspense, the King of the Mountain award went to Siargey Pisarchyk!

Another special mention, this time for Tapio Karras who scored points in the Goat for a 13th consecutive year.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who made the event possible:

You can see the Goat and Kid maps with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget for the Goat and Kid (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=442). (Use of RouteGadget is explained here.)

Note regarding RouteGadget for this event: RouteGadget handles Goats and Score-O's nicely, as it has an option to use split times to determine the order in which each competitor visited the controls. In a way, each competitor makes their own course.

The updated Golden Goat Lifetime Points table is available here (PDF/83KB). Here are some notable aspects of this year's table:
