Event Write-Up

By Jeff Goodwin, Event Director

First and foremost, a huge thanks to all to the folks who lent a hand to make this event happen.

  • George Minarik and Leslie Minarik, our fearless course setters, went above and beyond; pulling off a great course offering on a compressed timeline, setting all the controls without any assistance, shepherding gear to the event, manning the advanced starts, directing traffic, and generally being delightful partners.
  • Sarah Williams, Dennis Wildfogel, James Roney, and Chuck Spalding helped out with registration and greeting duties.
  • Daniel Engovatov, Taylor Pospisil, Dennis Wildfogel, and Sarah Williams vetted courses prior to the event.
  • Briana Steven, Graham Brew, George and Leslie Minarik spearheaded set-up responsibilities.
  • Stephanie Maclean, Wayne Staats, and Graham Brew provided beginner clinics.
  • Nick Corsano, Briana Steven, and George Minarik worked the starts.
  • Steve Gregg, Tapio Karras, Nicholas Goldowsky-Dill, and Briana Steven picked up controls.
  • Jeff Lanam graciously made two trips to the BAOC storage locker to provide essential event supplies.
  • Jay Hann brought the typical Western Race Services A-game.
  • Chuck Spalding, BAOC website content master, is constantly working behind the scenes to make sure all the info makes it to the website.
  • And finally, Shannon, Sarah, and the whole crew at East Bay Regional Parks were delightful to work with and make this event possible.

Taking advantage of a quiet and very green Lake Anza, approximately 100 orienteers joined in for some quintessential Tilden orienteering: hilly terrain, perfect weather, and a smattering of poison oak. At the finish line I heard only positive course feedback between the deep breaths, so I think it's safe to say George and Leslie did a lovely job of creating challenging advanced courses without forcing too much climbing.

To the early orienteers on the White course, thanks for bearing with us as we dealt with a couple of swapped controls. Luckily Jay was able to make quick work of the E-punch system, and make sure no one was getting called for a mispunch due to our error.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all out at Tilden again next year.
