Meet Staff: Rick Hood, Don Atkinson, Harvey Friedman, Bill Cusworth There were sunny skies the day before and the day after COC's annual Canoe-O. Unfortunately, during the event we had rain. (I think we were the only business the UW Waterfront Activity Center did that morning.) We had an interesting and enjoyable format: any 5 controls in any order for the short course and any 10 controls in any order for the long course. Each control was marked on the map as “water access only,” “foot access only” or “either.” This gave those that didn’t want to rent a canoe the option of doing the short course, all from land. Maybe even more unfortunate than the weather was the fact that some non-orienteers moved a water/land access control about 100 feet to a land access only. (Our guess is that these individuals sought some privacy and thought this would give them that. Of course, they didn’t know of the tenacity of orienteers, so rather than getting more privacy, they got more activity.) Because of this fact though, the times really don’t represent who did the best; thus we are listing all the hardy souls that competed in the short and long courses and awarding a first place finish to them all. Overall, the format was fun and we will try it again. (Thanks to all those that came, in spite of the weather, and all those that helped.)
