Event Write-Up

By Steve Haas

Most of us apparently can't get too much orienteering. In the middle of a 5-day event, almost three-fourths of the people who ran the Sprint in the morning came out for their second event of the day: a 4-loop Motala at Burton Creek in the afternoon.

Nik Weber’s unusual course design proved to be lots of fun. About half of the participants chose to do all 4 loops, while the other half did anywhere from 1 to 3. Will Critchley dominated in the 4-loop event, with a roughly 5-minute margin over Matej Sebo.

A big thanks to the people who helped out with tasks such as registration and control pick-up. And a special thanks to Rosemary and the e-punch crew, who had to deal with a very large number of possible course combinations: 6 possible control orderings for those who did all 4 loops (since everyone had the same final loop), 4 possibilities for those who did just 1 loop, plus all the possibilities associated with doing 2 or 3 loops.

Four Loops
Three Loops
Two Loops
One Loop
Four Loops Combined

Folks who did less than the full four loops could have been listed as having chosen their own adventure (i.e., COA), but we have shown the loops actually done.

WinSplits doesn't support events with a format like the Motala, but a text file of the splits (control-by-control timing) is available here.

Four Loops Combined

For ease of comparison, here are the combined Motala results for all those who ran all four loops. Of course, this assumes the order of the loops wasn't significant.
