December Sprint Relay Results!

Well outside of the preferable time frame for posting results, but here nonetheless...

Despite a few raised eyebrows at the idea of a mass start, the "crowd" (yes, 15 for a Dec meet on the first day of winter Break counts as a crowd) thinned out pretty quickly and groupings on the course were generally entirely intentional.  It bears noting that the only official relay team in December's Sprint Relay was the Jeff/Jay duo; the other teams just couldn't bear to let their partners venture out in search of the 63 (!) controls without them! Despite Jeff and Jay each benefitting from a 12+ minute intermission, Sergey managed to nab the fastest split on each loop.

If you're looking to meet your annual control quota next year be sure not to miss out on this control binge next December!

As can be expected, Jeff Black posted some fun shots from the day in the CTOC Yahoo album.  Much obliged.

Special thanks also to Natalie and Zach for helping with control placement, and to all who hung around to pick controls up. (I'm headed over to get the final one at East JH that somehow slipped through the cracks...)

Hopefully I'll see you all in Hidden Springs soon!
