[roc-info] CNYO Adventure Sprint Dec. 4

[Dmjcarto at aol.com]

A quick update about the upcoming CNYO Adventure Sprint Dec. 4 at The  
Nordic Center @ Hope Lake.
 
Keeping with past tradition this fun & entertaining race will still be  a 
multi-stage running/navigational event with a few modifications from past  
years. As of this message the format consists of the following;
 
- A mass start RUN of all competitors begins at 11:00 AM at  the pavilion 
at Hope Lake (up Clute road from Greek Peak) and heads 700 meters  to the 
back side of Hope Lake Lodge where;
- Competitors will start a short 1.3km ORIENTEERING LOOP with the  twist 
being runners may choose to do it clockwise or counterclockwise, whichever  
seems "easiest". At the end of this loop they will;
- Complete another 1.3km  RUN to the NW side of Hope Lake  where they will 
begin another;
- ORIENTEERING LOOP that has forked legs such that by choosing the  easiest 
navigational set of legs allows for the longest running distance.  
Conversely, choosing the much more difficult navigational legs the distance run  
will be much shorter. At the moment these distance measure 1.6km for difficult  
navigation and 1.9km for easy navigation but a larger separation of the 
possible  choices is being worked on. This O loop will then end at the pavilion 
for the  start of the;
- MAXIMUS CLIMBUS run. We're dropping the Mt. Bike portion this  year 
(since weather conditions has never allowed for this stage anyway) and  
substituting a 1km run to the new cell tower at the top of Hillcrest that gives  
runners (walkers?) a 100 meter total climb. That's 10% climb in one segment for  
those that count. At the top of the hill competitors then begin the final 
stage  of;
- SCORE-O to the end. Controls throughout the area have various  point 
values ranging from 1 to 3 and each competitor needs to accumulate  about (final 
total hasn't been decided yet) 10 points before finally  returning to the 
park pavilion for the finish.
 
Unlike most CNYO local events this special race has a mass start of all  
competitors at 11:00am SHARP so registration will be from 9 'til 10:30 and the 
 cost will be $7 for club members and $10 for non-members. Refreshments 
will be  served after the race and the charcoal grill will be fired up for 
anyone wanting  to bring their own "cookables".
