Results are in!

Well, we were amazed at how hard the orange course was at Detwieller Park a few weeks back. Turns out it was hard for everyone. As you know, we had to walk off the course because we had Lanie and Maddie with us and it was just too much to take a 5 and 3 year old on.

To bring any readers up to date that don't already know, a white course is for kids, a yellow is easy, orange is easy but longer, green is advanced, and red is advanced but longer. Knowing that here are the results of the ornge course...

14 participarts...
only 6 finished...
3 of those took almost or over 2 hours...
1 took almost 3 hours...

...by the way, Mark Scaife was listed as a "Meet Director" in the email too. Perhaps he had an advantage?

Orienteer on the 15th? (click here)

I know Code was really wanting to orienteer on the 14th in Peoria, but I will not be able to manage it. However, Chicago's club is having a meet on the 15th (Sunday). How about we give that a try instead?

Of course Code may be having a baby then, but maybe not.

We also had tentatively set the 14-15th as a "Long ride" day...so we'd bring our bikes and ride the forest preserve trails too.
