WCOC
Weather: ~50F, pouring rain with occasional breaks towards early afternoon
Participants: 32
On a miserably wet, but somewhat warm day a nice mix of hardcore veterans and some brave newcomers battled through the mud just to get to the parking lot at Trout Brook. Despite the awful weather, most racers had a great time, and almost everyone finished their course (though punchcards were difficult to check since most turned to mush). The 9.5km blue course was won in a very fast time of 71:58 by Kenny Walker of CSU, while Pavlina Brautigam took the 7.5km red in 76:12. Orienteers were greeted at the finish by a seemingly never-ending supply of cookies, which instantly brightened up the mood. Finally, WCOC is generously donating the proceeds from this meet to the United States Orienteering Team.
