Event Write-Up

By , Event Director

A misty morning to start with, but soon enough the fog lifted, people showed up and started running around, and it even got sunny for a bit. A good assortment of Juniors showed up and participated in training and competition. It's good to see this program taking off!

Speaking of “taking off” it's a good thing Paul Roome and Greg Khanlarov negotiated a reasonable interval between their runs, as Paul (1st place) might otherwise have caught Greg (2nd place) on the Combo Orange course. Another notable contest was seen on the Sprint Orange course, with Stephanie Maclean edging out Sheila Cotter and Anna Staats (all three finishing in consecutive places).

It was nice to see some newer orienteers start with the White course and proceed to Yellow, some even going from Yellow to the Long Orange course.

As usual it took teamwork to make this event happen. Much appreciation to those who volunteered:

Also see control-by-control timing in the WinSplits results (http://www.obasen.nu/winsplits/online/en/show_event.asp?id=110382) and on Attackpoint (https://www.attackpoint.org/eventdetail.jsp/event_60246).

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget for this event (http://baoc.org/gadget/cgi/reitti.cgi?act=map&id=573). (Use of RouteGadget is explained here.)

In RouteGadget, you can enter your route manually or upload a GPS recording and adjust to fit our map. The following tips apply to the GPS method.
RouteGadget Tip #1: After selecting your GPX file, make sure to adjust the time offset between starting your watch at the Start line and leaving the Start Triangle. The offset can have a significant impact on your route accuracy. For most local events, you should set the offset to 0 as we start from the triangle (assuming you started your watch exactly when you started).
RouteGadget Tip #2: After uploading your GPS track to RouteGadget, you can create additional blue adjustment points by right-clicking your track. You can use these points to better align your route with the map, for example, along trails. You can delete extra adjustment points by right-clicking them.
Comments from the E-punch Director: 
Thanks to Vicki Woolworth and Steve Gregg for another great event at the unique terrain of Point Pinole. Once the fog lifted, the weather was perfect for orienteering. I also want to thank Weichun Fong for coming early to help set up E-epunch, and Phil Lacrote and Rosemary Johnson for working the computers with me.
One thing to note: two people did not punch the Start control, but had good results otherwise. Make sure you punch Start and check your splits printout afterward. I made a guess as to the start times so that everyone got a result.
