We had an even dozen go out on the courses today. All returned well before the sun got too high. When I left at 8:45 almost everyone was still there chatting and socializing.

Meet Director’s Brad and Yvonne Poe checked everyone in. Alan Craig and Annie King helped explain the MapRun app to those who haven’t used it before. Alan also vetted the course a couple of weeks ago (in about 50 minutes including some field checking time).

Our youngest participant was Avery King, who went out on the Yellow course recreationally with her mom. The Green course was  probably more at Orange level navigationally. Mostly easy parkland, but with several controls in the desert to the south offering some challenge.

A couple of scores did not show on the MapRun results due to technical difficulties. The fault is usually from other apps running on the phone, such as getting a notification for a phone call or text. I recommend switching to Airplane mode before starting to eliminate that problem.

For those who will be doing the course later, you have until noon on July 27th.  If you did not pay your $5 yet, you are on the honor system. Click the Support tab at the bottom of this page, scroll down to the Donation button, and pay your $5. I will update the results on July 27th to include your time. To print the map and control descriptions, click the links below. Or do the following in the app: select event, select green info button, select menu, select share/print, select email or printer. Or, you can just use the app without a paper map, but that is not recommended.
