Ramblers Orienteering Club
MEET REPORT
Centre de la Nature de LAVAL –
It was a crisp, sunny day. Ideal weather for the
inauguration of our newest O-map. The site was once a rock quarry. It’s
transformation into an urban garden parkland should be considered a model of
green space development and a tribute to
For orienteering it offers a nice place for beginners and intermediates to learn the sport. For the swift and experienced it’s a great location for the fastest-moving version of our sport – “Sprint-O”.
Two courses were set of 3.0 and 3.4 km. The speediest time recorded for the combined 6.4 km (22-controls) was 38 minutes, 56 seconds, by Aussie, Jeremy Barnes – a per km pace of approximate 6 minutes. Dmitri Golovanov (Ramblers) was 93 seconds behind in 2nd place and Rémi Bergeron followed, 3 minutes back of Dmitri. A visiting Orienteer from Belgium, Danielle Nolens, was the fastest woman (1:10:25) and 11-year old Ryan Jones (Ramblers) was the swiftest youngster, finishing just 9 seconds behind Nolens.
Of those who did only the 3 km course Stephen Novosad and his 8-year old son, Tobin, finished 1st in 24:14. Jeff Secours was 2nd (30:00) and Nicole Roy was 3rd (30:53).
There were four cases of “mispunching” at controls that were in the vicinity of the wanted control. Two of these instances were at no. 5 (a small island of green “between trails”) on the 1st course. Another control, (#11 – a knoll) was 50 meters away to the south. Checking the numbers on the tapes would have avoided the mispunch errors.
Participation totalled 84 persons which included 4 children 10 or over, 14 between 2 and 9, and two babies (being carried). There were 50 “Starts”.
Thanks to those who helped with the meet – Stéphane Rousseau (starts, timing, translations and control pick-up), Gloria (at registration), Elizabeth Schumann (assisting at registration), Bruce and Elaine (flag pick-ups) …and the Park administration for their co-operation.
