Writeup

We had 24 orienteers venture out into the Willow Dells, our first venue in the intricate granite terrain around Prescott. The terrain proved to be even more challenging than we thought--as an example, the "elite" time for a 2.5 km course with 200 meters of climb would be around 40-45 minutes; our winning time was about 2x that!

Perhaps after spending time in this rough landscape, the new mantra for orienteers will be "but we don't have TIME for a shortcut!"; trail-centered attack points and minimizing cross country travel are more important on this map than on other courses.

The adventure race added a ~24 km bike ride and ~2.4 km water courses to the Score-O course--quite a lot for the 5 hour time limit

A special thanks to Ron Birks, for picking up the 12 Long-O controls while on the racing clock during the Adventure Race. Besides saving us an extra ~3 hours in control retrieval time, Ron still managed to finish the AR in less than 5 hours.
