Event Write-Up
By
Sunny weather, but not too hot, greeted us Sunday for our annual event at these two preserves in the south Peninsula. We don't try to publicize this one too much, because the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District requires that we keep attendance down to minimize impact. Nevertheless, plenty of folks showed up as usual. In fact, I count 224, which is just one shy of the maximum on our permit. Even so, the parking lot did not overflow for the first time in years—many thanks to all who shared rides.
Kent Ohlund designed the courses with a lot of help from Greg Khanlarov. The White, Yellow, and Orange courses in Skyline Ridge utilized additional terrain that Bob Cooley had mapped since last year's event. The four advanced courses for Monte Bello were pronounced "tough but fair" by the participants: lots of technical challenge, and, as a result (on this map), lots of physical challenge as well.
Apologies for running out of maps for the Brown course. We had Bob print 30 maps and it is a mystery how these were exhausted by the 23 participants listed for the course. At least two people who intended to do the Brown course ended up doing the Green course instead because of this.
Updated results are below. A couple people are listed as "DNS" for "did not start"—these people registered, but we have no record of them in the epunch software. Let us know if you have further information.
