BAOC | Tilden Regional Park

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.
