[roc-info] Orienteering meet this Saturday at Durand Eastman Park

[Richard Detwiler]

The next ROC meet will be this Saturday (May 31st) at Durand Eastman 
Park. Registration and starts are noon-2pm from the Conifer Shelter, 
which is on Log Cabin Rd.

The following courses will be available:

    White, 1.5km.

    Yellow, 2.5km.

    Orange/Advanced, two loops, 4.5km and 3.0km, which can be done
    separately or in sequence (no controls in common) to make a 7.5km
    course (recommended for those looking for more of a challenge, with
    plenty of twists and turns to fit 7.5km into an area not much more
    than 1km*1km). This course is as hard as possible on the Durand
    Eastman map, which essentially means that it is an orange course;
    however, more advanced runners will find that running the course
    fast requires a lot of concentration due to the fast pace that is
    possible in many areas!

The woods are fast and open in most places, although there are a few 
steep sections. The courses were set to take advantage of the more open 
sections of the woods. There will be electronic punching for all 
courses, including white and yellow, giving everyone a chance to take 
advantage of this technology!  Bring your e-punch if you have one or use 
one of the club's rental punches if you don't.

The forest is looking beautiful at the moment, with the flowers out and 
peaceful lakes to explore.
