Ann Morrison Motala Results 3/16/14

Nice spring weather and fast paced action greeted orienteers at Ann Morrison park this Sunday.  Participants had three sprint type courses to choose from, all three courses turned out to be very evenly matched for completion time even though Course B went over to the Julia Davis/ BSU area and Courses A and B in Ann Morrison were set in totally different route styles .  Several people that did all three courses had slower times on their last course because of fatigue.  Each course was timed separately and participants had only a short minute or two break between runs. Young Zach (one of Ben's students) competed very well doing all three courses in very quick time, he'll be one to watch!  I was surprised by how quickly people completed each course and how close all the total finish times were, with less than 15 minutes separating the whole Three Courses field.  Thanks to Ole who took the time to help Josh learn the ropes on his first attempt at the sport, and Jeff, Ole, John, and Ben for control pickup.  Congrats also to Ole for his 2nd place result in the Ultra Long Championships last Nov. and photo on page 21 of the January/February edition of Orienteering North America magazine.
