GOLDEN GATE PARK Back to Results July 13, 2003 by Deron van Hoff, meet director I enjoyed my first attempt at setting courses, and I hope that you all enjoyed the orienteering. Due to my heavy workload so far this year, I wasn't able to plan very far ahead. Nevertheless, with some very hard work by a few in the couple of weeks before the event, the event went well. Special thanks to Bob Cooley who took on the challenge to re-map areas of the park that changed significantly through reforestation and construction projects. I suppose that is one of the challenges for having an orienteering map in an urban park - the vegetation and trail system is very active from one year to the next. Also, special thanks to Johannes and Jean van Hoff, my parents, who worked outside their comfort zone and vetted many of the controls. One of the more fun parts of course setting is the many hours of time spent outside. I really enjoyed setting controls on the mountain bike on Saturday. You tend to find trails you never would think of riding on. I also wouldn't have missed spending the early hours of the 4th of July in the eastern end of Golden Gate Park. It's a world all to its own, and only in San Francisco. Controls that were planned never made it on the final map, since the locations were occupied by interesting characters. I don't know if anyone on Long Orange took enough time around control number 16 to notice the animal shrine. When I was there, it was filled with birds and squirrels and other critters, all attracted by the man-made shrine. Also, it is always nice to see the dedication of many BAOC regulars. The group that helped were not hard to find, and many volunteered unsolicited. Without these individuals, there would be no orienteering in the Bay Area, and so I am appreciative when I coordinate an event and when I compete. Others that helped enormously with the effort were: Leif Kirschenbaum helped with the maps and control cards before the event, as well as worked starts; Julie van Hoff set controls, helped with setup and worked starts and finishes; Jean van Hoff helped with setup, did the shopping, worked starts and finishes, and picked up controls; Nik Weber pre-ran the Long Orange and Orange courses and discovered the missing controls before anyone's run, helped with finishes, and picked up controls; Lauren Wemmer and Kiki Weber helped with setup, finishes and results; Ev and Jean Beuerman did their usual beautiful job at registration; Frank Chu, a new orienteer, arrived early and jumped right in to help out; Ben Wahlstrand helped with starts; Ed Ow pre-ran the White course, and then helped with finishes for most of the rest of the day; Barbara Straka pre-ran the Yellow course; Gary Kraght, Scott Aster and Bill Straka organized the large numbers of beginners and provided clinics; and Steve Haas picked up controls. Tomas Herbertson won the White course in 26:43, and looks like he could be one of our future BAOC stars. Aaron Shreve and Shelley and Zachary Hicks finished in second and third, respectively. On Yellow, Chris Buchner won the day with a time of 26:49. It looks like he enjoyed the orienteering, as he teamed up with Yellow third-place finishers Justin Anderson and Nicole Heynneman to try the Long Orange. Scott Aster finished in second place on Yellow. Once again demonstrating the superiority of European orienteers, Claire Warner from CUOC in the U.K. and Sara Timner from Sweden finished first and third, respectively, on Orange. Claire had a winning time of 41:50 on the 5.4 kilometer course. The first male finisher was Doug Stein (in second) with a time of 44:01. Long Orange was also won by a visiting Swede, Tobias Eliasson from Sundsvalls OK. He finished the 8.4 kilometer course in 58:30. Mark Prior finished in second, and Sergey Grushin in third. Penny DeMoss and Yelena Krasnov finished first and second among the women. A total of 271 individuals participated this year, up from 239 in 2002. The breakdown of entries and individuals for the various classes are as follows: White - 29 entries, 92 participants; Yellow - 31 entries, 73 participants; Orange - 45 entries, 59 participants; and Long Orange - 38 entries, 47 participants. Below are the preliminary results.
