Narrative
The sky cleared up, the wind slowed down, and conditions became ideal for a mid-July orienteering event. The different courses involved corresponding levels of technical challenge, but 1. The Novice course was longer than usual, 2. The intermediate course was a little more difficult than usual, and 3. the Advanced and Expert courses were relatively short, but involved controls located near green (thick vegetation) areas. Many orienteers showed up, as results can tell. A large majority of participants seemed to have enjoyed the event, including kids and, in some cases, parents that had left their young ones at home for the first time in a while. The organizers really appreciated seeing all the smiles and hearing the usual conversations around route choices.
