Umstead South, September 23, 2007

Joseph Huberman event director; Josef Trzicky course design & setting

The following people volunteered their time to make this month's event happen:
Josef Trzicky - Course design, control placement, control pickup.
Joseph Huberman - Course design tweaking, map printing, beginner class & registration
Bill Ebenstein, Carlie Huberman, Ruth Bromer, Joe Halloran - Start/Finish, registration
Artem Kazantsev, Bill Ebenstein, Eddie Clement, Eugueni Kountikov - control pickup

We had a fantastic turnout at the season opener, and almost everyone remembered that our memberships renew in September.  Lots of new folks showed up, we had over 50 in the beginner class.

The beginners did a fantastic job of 50 entries on White & Yellow there were only 2 DNF's.  On the other hand the advanced competitors had a terrible time, with 53% not finishing.  The big problem was #2.  I have done an analysis of the map that you can see below.  The biggest problem is that the depression, while 6' deep and 15' blends in remarkably well with its surroundings.  So if you missed it, and then tried to relocate from the fence you would find yourself well short of the depression when your pace count ran out.

There was a big ROTC turnout.  A great group of kids, and we are pleased they are orienteering with us.

Analysis of control #2 - JH, on the advanced courses September 23, 2007

by Joseph Huberman

I started at each of the three attack points and did a compass bearing and pace count toward the control.  The distances came from map measuring, and the arrows show where I ended up at the end of the measured pace count and bearing.

As you can see, the bearing from the NW ruin (which was pretty much ruined and mostly covered with leaves) is quite accurate.  The bearing from the ruin near the clearing came out about 20 meters SW of the control.

The big error was the distance of the control from the fence.  The measurement is 93 m, but the pace count was 150 m.

There is a small dark blue marking tape on a branch over the depression so you will know you are at the right spot.  (Don't expect to see the tape from a distance.)
