Event Write-Up
By
Ideal weather and a great group of people made for a fun event at Oyster Bay. Over 120 people showed up for White, Yellow, and Prologue and Chase Sprint courses set by Steve Beuerman.
While the original intent was to base the start times of the Chase on the results of the Prologue, a glitch in the Check control made this list difficult for the E-punch crew to set up. So we opted for a modified Chase start at 15-second intervals based on the Prologue times from control #1 to the Finish. Many thanks to all who took part in brainstorming and opinionating, as well as for waiting for the executive decision. Thanks to the E-punch crew for doing their best to troubleshoot the problem, and also to Stephan Granger Bevan for coming up with the ordering system and implementing it. I truly hope our solution preserved the spirit of the format, if not the details. I'd also like to thank those who gave up their Prologue maps when we found my attendance estimate was a bit low.
Once the Sprint results were totaled up, Erin Schirm came in first, almost caught by Matej Šebo, followed closely by François Léonard and Rex Winterbottom. The top female finishers were Marcy Beard, Julia Doubson, and Marie-Josée Parayre in close succession. It was good to see more than a few juniors participating in the Sprint, and entering respectable times. We also saw strong junior participation on the White and Yellow courses, as well as in the Junior Clinic.

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget. (Use of RouteGadget is explained here. RouteGadget for the White, Yellow, and Prologue courses is here (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=353) and for the Chase course is here (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=354).)
Note that the RouteGadget animation shows the Chase (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=354) as an independent race by default. To run the Chase as it really happened, with competitors starting at 15-second intervals based on their Prologue result, you need to click off the "Mass start" checkbox next to the "View animation" button.
