Pond Lily Lookout O-Meet
May 2, 2004
Meet Director – Lew
Kidder
The steady, cold rain, which persisted into mid-morning on Sunday, evidently
convinced a number of orienteers to spend the day in more comfortable
surroundings. But the relatively modest field of 47 people who actually made
their way to the traditional staging area on Green Road were rewarded with dry
weather and even some eventual sun.
Chuck Newman and Pat Murad battled back and forth on the greenish orange course
all day, with Chuck eking out a narrow margin of 1:41 at the finish. But a few
minutes later, David Ives sprinted across the line and lopped 29 seconds off
the existing standard. Tina Thompson, doing her first event solo, was a strong
fourth. “And I beat my husband,” she noted. Of course, husband Joe was on the
longer red course . . . but a win is a win.
Mark Voit made short work of the red course, dashing around the 6.7K layout in
about 8.5 minutes/kilometer. That’s impressive, especially when you consider
that 200 feet or so of the course was across a rather innocuous looking marsh
that actually involved water up to his hips. But it just goes to show that not
only is a straight line the shortest way between two points, it is often the
fastest (if not the most pleasant) as well.
