Can't wait to hear how the 12-hour folks fared. Dave and I struggled in only a few seconds late and suffered the penalty. We made a massive parallel error and, not realizing it, never recovered. Details on request. I was not in very good shape to provide computer help, but did my best to help get the 6 hour results for the awards.A fun note -- two scout dads, friends of Tim Walsh, who heard about rogaining from me at the Willows entered and I hear they did great.Thanks to all who made the day possible and the meal by Janet and co. looked great.

Reply by markwalsh on Sun Jul 9, 2017 at 12:47 pmThanks much to Steve and Sharon and all the folks behind the scenes that helped pull off this enjoyable event.Weather,facilities, and food were great...... and a large course covering 7 maps was in surprisingly good shape considering recent rains etc. Most maps still real accurate and detailed making finding controlsstraightforward....twist at night without reflectors added to controls ..... pressured teams that needed to get those last few controls and get in on time..... on top ....and hopefully make previous 11hrs of hard working pay off.Shame more folks didn't throw their hats in the ring and give it a go.

Reply by skolins on Mon Jul 10, 2017 at 5:11 pmBig thank you to everybody who made this event possible - maps, controls, food, all well done. Course design at FC in the summer can be tough so it was impressive how this course did a nice job job using the good terrain (including a number of spots that are akward to reach in local events so I had never been to before). Route choice presented some interesting decisions both as far as overall strategy and more local decisions. Lots of similing people at the end of the event - very well done!
