Event Write-Up
By , Event director
It was a dark and stormy night in Moraga. Actually, it was a dark and stormy day, too, but the foothills of Las Trampas provided some shelter against the southerly winds, and we set up our event center on the large, covered patio of Filippi Hall. I think it’s the first time I have had to set up a canopy under a roof in order to keep the E-punch equipment dry. There was still plenty of rain and wind on the courses, especially when running between the temporary lee of the many buildings. As it happens, St. Mary’s College has an official weather gauge, which showed that the atmospheric river brought 10.04 inches of rain that weekend, 1.92 inches of which fell during the event between 9 AM and 1:30 PM.
Those who braved the weather to compete in the double-header Sprint were rewarded with fun and technical courses. Nothing made me happier that day than hearing finishers who were soaked in rain saying they just had a lot of fun. The Qualifier had pre-assigned start times, and went according to schedule. We were also on track to start the Final on time, but due to a last-minute copyediting challenge, we had to push it back 10 minutes so the start crew could get the correct list to the Start.
The results speak for themselves, so I am not going to repeat them. You can read them below. Thanks to all 46 competitors who came to run in the rain, and kudos to those who were able to think fast and navigate despite the rain, direction changes, and route choices put before them. (Note that the WinSplits data have some errors that we still need to correct.)
This event was made possible by the hard work of course setter Matej Šebo, and his family. The day before the event, Matej discovered a new construction area that invalidated an important route choice on all the courses. His father, Lubomir, printed 172 new maps that evening, and his mother, Monika, worked late into the night sealing them all with a curling iron.
A big thanks also to the following people:

Lost and Found
This is a rather late, but I've been reminded that a standard (not thumb) compass was left behind at the event last October. I left it somewhere safe and totally forgot about it until now. The registration crew did not think it looked like a rental. It is pretty worn and has a silver tape embedded behind the 5 cm ruler at the short edge. There is a red string attached to it. Contact me if it's yours.
