Today was a day for fans of Sonoran Desert rain and Halloween merriment, with both on display for the Howl-O-Ween event at Lincoln Park. Annie Martin set two great courses, making use of a bit more of Upper Lincoln Park than we have in the past. Those who wore costumes were entitled to skip one control on their course, though not everyone remembered to do so! Cristina Luis skipped 1 and Cole Osborn skipped 9, and nobody skipped 12, so the question of which skip is best is left as an exercise to the reader.
Shoutout to our first-timers today, Megan, Sara, and Elaine, who all completed (at least) one course and left with smiles.
Big thanks to Annie Martin for the great courses, Jeff Brodsky for helping before and after his run, and to John and Marcy Beard, Joe Plassmann, Sasha Savine. and first timers Sara and Elaine for picking up all the (wet) controls!
