Sunday was a beautiful day in the Morning although it
was cold the sun moderated it nicely. Unfortunately as
the day went on the clouds came and took some of that
sunny warmth away.
We had a small turnout for the Course Setting
Workshop. It was just Earl, Karen, Heather and I
discussing my philosophy on course maps. Karen has
already entered her courses in the course setting
competition, and I'll be judging those and giving my
comments in a week or so.
In spite of the cooler temperatures we had a
reasonable turnout Sunday. The course consisted of 25
controls worth a varying amount of points based on the
distance from the start around the south side of the
lake. There were 12 points within the first kilometer, 4
within two kilometers, 6 within three kilometers and 3
more than three kilometers from the start, for a total
of 50 points. The time limit on the course was 90
minutes with 1 point being subtracted for each minute
over time.

Although 4 people did circumnavigate the lake
everyone did it counterclockwise. It was a topic of
discussion among people before they started but no one
opted for the clockwise circumnavigation. Although I
don't know for sure how I would have done it the
clockwise circuit does have some appeal.
1. The
longest running leg is at the start when you're
fresher.
2. going downslope at control OR easier than
going upslope there (minor point).
3. would pick off
highest point controls first
4. would allow more
decision on which 1 point controls to go after
