It was a beautiful morning out in the Idaho City area on Saturday July 23, 2011. Starting off cool it soon turned to a scorching day. This didn’t do anything to the general excitement in the air as people arrived ready to conquer the multiple challenges presented to them. With four courses to choose from it caused some debate as folk decided whether to choose from the Orange course to the longer Green-going-on-Red course, or if the Red (or Blue as many called it) course was worth tackling. The sun did defeat some people throughout the course of the day and they came back without finishing.

By start and finish master,
Masha Velichko

Your Saturday meet director,

Saturday Red and Green course best routes per Sergey (dashed lines show alternative routes):


Many thanks go to my co-director Andy Hill, who vetted my control placement in advance (and saved me much embarrassment for two I misplaced myself after being in the field too long), and had suggestions for course modifications. Those who appreciated the shorter courses can thank him. Special thanks also go to everyone who helped with control pickup in the blazing afternoon sun - Ole Bergset on his trusty iron horse, the Pilcher Brothers who got those farthest to the south and east, John Murray who was assigned the closest but most numerous for White and Orange courses, and Joe Walker for grabbing those in the ominous hawk territory just south of the start (we didn't lose anyone to the hawk I'm happy to report). After setting controls both Friday and Saturday, I really appreciated the leg recovery...although I got my hill workout in by picking up #46 that was missed in the assignments.
This is our second woods event for the summer triple play this year, and we hope to see you all back out there up in McCall at Bear Basin, where Karin will keep us honest once more in August.
