Event Write-Up
By
The rain relented and 142 participants showed up at Joe Grant Park to enjoy the gorgeous day. The footing was excellent, the hills were green and the wildflowers were abundant.
Derek Maclean and Kim van Berkel set the courses. They did much of their work in soggy conditions. The White course was problematic to set, as rains had closed down various routes. Apologies for the late truncation of the White course (due to a trail change discovered the day before the event), and the resultant difficulties with the results.
Dennis Wildfogel vetted the courses and provided helpful feedback.
Team Yellow won the White course, Melissa Griffiths won Yellow, Thomas Arnold (a first-timer!) won Orange, Steve Haas won Brown, Tapio Karras won Green, Greg Khanlarov won Red, and Matej Å ebo won Blue. Full results can be seen below.
Jay Hann provided E-punch services, including results displayed on monitors. He also transported much of the equipment to and from the event in his trailer. How he managed to drive the medium-sized trailer up and down Mount Hamilton via Quimby Road, I do not understand.
Stephanie Maclean, Tony Pinkham, Marie-Josée Parayre, Matej Šebo, Daniel Šebo, Lubomir Šebo, Steve Beuerman, Jeff Lanam, Sharon Evans, Mark Blair, Nancy Lindemen, and Wes Erck helped with setup. Steve Haas handled registration. Derek Maclean handled starts all day. Stephanie Maclean performed beginner clinics. Aron Walker, Stephen Harrison, Werner Haag, and Wes Erck were early runners. Sharon Evans supplied the food. Penny DeMoss, Harold DeMoss, Tony Pinkham, Theo Verhoven, Mark Blair, Nick Corsano, and Steve Haas picked up the controls. Nancy Lindeman, Tony Pinkham, Luc Poppe, Theo Verhoven, and Jay Hann pitched in to clean up.
Many folks helped behind the scenes, including Bob Cooley with the maps, Marina Keating with insurance, Chuck Spalding with updates to the website, Stephen Harrison with event coordination, Will Bick as the Park Ranger, and the personnel at the Santa Clara County Parks Department.
The food table turned out to be problematic this year. Due to three fatalities from contaminated turkeys at a public function in Solano County last November, we had to get a permit from Santa Clara County to serve food. They were mandating sneeze shields for any open foods, so we opted to simply serve pre-packaged foods. Chloe Caviness, Sharon Evans, and Steve Haas helped navigate the issues.
A set of 4-month-old triplets (a girl and two boys) were brought to the meet by their parents to cheer the parents on.
Thanks to all. Working with the great folks of BAOC is a joy.
