22: Results and Splits

The results from the event are now HERE

Thanks to Eb Rooney for organising and planning the event in a new area on a new map. Thanks also to Robin Sloan and Rob Cranston for their input and anybody else I may have missed. We hope you all enjoyed your day.

Planner’s/Organiser’s report

This was our first time orienteering in Lauder, using a brand new map prepared by Deeside Orienteering & Leisure Maps, and it was great to be able to welcome everyone there on a beautiful (and warm !) spring day.

I planned the courses to make the most of the opportunities for route choice around the town, with a bit of off-road “terrain” running around the Burnmill path network for contrast – as well as the excuse for the hardiest runners to get their feet wet! It seemed to work out well, with people enjoying both their run and the challenge it provided.

Special thanks to Robin for controlling, providing enormously helpful advice on the courses, and setting out on the day; Ian, who did a dry run of the Light Green and provided useful feedback; Lindsey for handling online entries and setting up the laptop; Rob for help with putting out controls and dealing expertly with the challenges of download; Duncan for making sense of the results; and to Douglas, Pauline, Rob and Cathy for collecting in controls.

Tweedbank results 4/12/21

The results from today’s Score event at Tweedbank are HERE

This was the final event in our Autumn series, with the club Christmas meal to follow.

We opted for a score course with a “mass start” (spaced at Covid-compliant intervals !) to ensure a prompt finish. To spice things up a little, runners could choose one of two options using the same map – a standard 45 minute score (as many controls as possible in any order) and a Challenge score with bonus points for each control if done in one set of even numbers then one set of odd, or vice-versa. Five people opted for the challenge, with the remainder going for the standard course.

Colin Williams managed to clear all the controls on the Challenge course well within the allotted time to take first place overall, while Ellie Darlow made short work of the standard course in a little over 30 minutes. It was good to see lots of different route choices, with runners all heading off in different directions at the start.

Thanks to everyone who made it along (and commiserations to those who were planning to but couldn’t attend..), and a special thanks to those who helped to make it happen – Robin for Controlling and setting out; Lindsey for looking after entries, download and results (and still getting a run); and Pauline, Rob, Andrew, Judith, Bridget and Ken for collecting in controls.
