After a full day of hard rain, (just right for hanging controls) the Foxes hosted the Sass Peepre Event in Mactaquac Park. It was such a beautiful and warm day that having sufficient water for participants was more of a concern than hypothermia, which has been a concern in past years.
With only a few last minute registrations to take care of (thankfully most people had pre-registered, including the 56 cadets), things started on time. A couple of participants didn't quite understand the concept of a staging line from which they were to proceed to the "start line", and had to called back after they ran off into the woods. And there was the person who was off to the washroom when his number was called, and the person who was hard of hearing and didn't hear her name called? But these are all normal things in the life of a meet director I'm sure.
A Safety Bearing meeting was held with the juniors who wanted to run course 4. Those that demonstrated they could proceed on a safety bearing were permitted to run the course, while a couple of people realized that course 3 was a better choice for them.
There were a half a dozen participants who were over the course closing time and we sent a car looking for one person who was well off the course and would have been a least another 25 - 30 minutes getting back on his own. In the end all arrived back safe and sound.
The four Cadet teams competing for the Sass Peepre cup were disqualified, leaving the Falcons' "Autumn Runners" team consisting of Peter Stanford, Course 1, Emily Ross, Course 3, and Julien Nowlan, Course 4 to easily take home the prized cup. Congratulations!
There was the usual predictable debate about the accuracy of the map and the placement of the controls; sometimes it seems this is as much fun as actually running the courses!
I would like to thank Stig Skarborn, Course Setter, and Connie Wilson and Suzanne McKinley, who looked after registration and results, for their contributions which led to success of the event.
