The Score-O that almost got cancelled:
The score-O in the prime of summer 2016, placed strategically before a major
event (Rogaine), almost got cancelled due to lack of volunteers. But persistence
paid off and ROC was able to get a quorum to organize the meet. Thanks to
everybody who pitched in, ROC was able to put up a challenging Score-O and a
White course for about 40-ish participants, including a couple of new and
returning O-families. We were prepared for a stormy event, with a 90% chance
of rain predicted. The rain did not happen, but the runners did return drenched
from sweat in the 90-degree hot & humid weather. As you can see from the
results, we had some excellent finish times posted by our young members of the
ROC. The kids' parents who introduced Orienteering to the kids a decade ago
finished slightly behind them, but nevertheless proud of their children taking
up the sport so well. Barring for a slight concern with a teenager separating
from his family (who was later found by Tim Dobretsov), the event was smooth
and enjoyed by all. Thanks to the volunteers & participants for making this a
successful event.
