[roc-info] Sat 7/24 Durand Eastman

[Stina Bridgeman]

Orienteering this Saturday at Durand Eastman Park!

Courses:
   - white - 1.8km, 35m climb, 9 controls
   - sprint A (sprint series course) - 2km, 70m climb, 11 controls
   - sprint B - 1.6km, 35m, 8 controls
   - score-O - 60 minutes, 24 controls, distance and climb is up to you!

White and sprint starts are between 10 and 11am.  The score-O begins at 
11am with a mass start.  Be sure to arrive early enough to get 
registered before your start.  All courses start at the Conifer Shelter.

Epunching will be used for the sprint courses.  Sprint A counts towards 
the club's Sprint Series Championship.  Sprint B is a little shorter, 
has a little less climb, and is technically a little easier than sprint 
A but is a little more difficult than the white course.

The sprint is the third in the club's Sprint Series Championship.  The 
best four results over the six races in the series count towards 
determining the club Sprint Series champions for 2010.  Note that only 
the sprint A course counts towards the series!

Course setter's notes:

There are many flags, some of which are quite close to each other.  Be 
sure to check the control codes (and the clue descriptions) to make sure 
you are punching the right control - not every flag you see will be on 
your course.

Runners will probably be able to stay ahead of the bugs, but everyone 
else may want bug spray.  Vegetation wasn't too much of a problem when 
checking control locations, but leg covering is not a bad idea if you 
are planning to go off-trail.

The golf course is out of bounds - DO NOT cross the golf course or 
walk/run on any part of the fairways.

Use caution when traveling along or crossing roads.  Stay well on the 
shoulder on Lakeshore Blvd (on the north edge of the park).  Also watch 
for cars on park roads, though they should be fairly sparse and slow-moving.
