NOY3 – Delight & Horror at Glendale
Club officials were delighted with the huge turnout at yesterdays “National Orienteering Day” event, but horrified that they had underestimated it so much that the map supply was exhausted 45 minutes before last official start.
Great weather and a map close to the clubs population base were the combining factors that produced this large number of competitors. Eventually more maps were sourced and all competitors were able to make their way onto their selected course.
Looking through the results it’s strange to see that in every class the winner was quite a considerable margin ahead of second place. The smallest winning margin (1:54) being Swedish visitor Joakim Lindholm over Graeme Taplin in the Long Orange.
