Today's event was at Flinders Park Primary and was preceded by torrential rain which created lovely puddles to add to the navigational challenge.
Being Halloween, there were small treats to be won and all competitors were keen to find one of those tiny black cauldrons that were placed out & around the course.
Welcome to our junior visitors, Justin & James who had heaps of fun and are keen to attend again.
Our experienced juniors zoomed around the course, utilising their skills that they honed at the recent championships while our experienced seniors took it all in their stride with someone even going barefoot!
Many took on the Super Sprint as an extra run with Jacob finishing first after starting last.
Results for all courses will be uploaded later tonight.
Many thanks to all who assisted in collecting controls, computer input, flag set up/pack up and cauldron collection.
Our next foray is a double header in 2 weeks time at the Golf Club and GSG.

Edmund has (in 3minutes!) managed to put today's event into Livelox. This will show the GPS traces (e.g. head to head) from today's runners who ran with a smart watch. The link to Livelox is from either the calendar listing in Eventor Australia, or from the results page in Eventor. Big thanks Edmund :-)

And, for the record, Ruth would like to point out that she had the fastest finish split in the chasing start Short Course dessert event today.

Livelox is a service that lets you record and compare your orienteering races with family, friends and fellow competitors.

Results & Split times are posted, more info. will follow in our email tomorrow - don't forget to sign up via the front page of our website. A big thank you to Ruth who set the courses today and was the Starter. She did well with the very tight area and coped admirably with the on-the-day locked/unlocked gates status.

Super good to see first-timers River, Charles and Rosie really enjoy their runs and also our youngest member, Maddy, complete both the Medium and the Short nearly unassisted now. Very tight result at the top of the Medium course with Edmund holding Jacob off by just 12s after Jacob had a 14s lead at 13. In the post-event chatting we discovered that on one leg (10-11) 3 of us each managed to find a different best way to run the leg - good course setting Ruth!

The next event is in two weeks at Flinders Park Primary School, setter is Tracey Menegola.

Just in time we have an event list for our spring time events! Most of these are Short course (1km, super easy nav) and Medium course (around 2km-2.5km) and a couple of the bigger maps will have a Long course too. Please enter online so we can print enough course maps and turn up from about half an hour before the first start time. If you want to do more than one course, that's fine, there is no cost to subsequent courses. Specific details about each event are in the Eventor Australia event database.

It was a lovely day for Oceania Sprint orienteering around the ANU campus. Edmund M16 was 8th (4th AUS), Jacob M18 was 8th (5th AUS) and Ruth W14 was 13th (5th AUS). Great results by all 3 of them to finish the carnival!

A great week of orienteering and much thanks from me on behalf of ADHOC for the work by all the carnival organisers and also to the WA schools manager & coaches - Tom, Liam & Sten.

We had very wet weather at today’s Oceania Long - for the early starters - and the starts were delayed initially by 30mins, and then another 15 to let the thunder & lightning pass. Ruth came 13th (9th Australian) and Jacob 33rd had their best results of the carnival so far with Jacob only 3mins behind 2 of the other WA boys. Edmund was 17th (also 9th Australian) in the wettest of the day’s conditions with the Kiwis showing their class today.

John in M50 now has the fun of a 1:7500 scale - this makes the map legible on the run but means a large A3 sheet for Long course orienteering. Our leg from 7-8 was, in terms of map centimetres, the ‘longest’ long leg I’ve had to cope with! Lots of folding on the move.
