Good news/bad news regarding NAOC/US orienteering.

Good
M21 @ NAOC is almost on par with registrations from here http://www.dvoa.org/events/results/ev_show.php?eve... (roughly 45)
400 people are pretty good.
1/3 from outside NA is cool.
F21 is almost on pace with here: http://cnyo.us.orienteering.org/2001/A-meet/US2001...

Bad
M21 still well behind here: http://cnyo.us.orienteering.org/2001/A-meet/US2001...
Do we need to go offshore to get the numbers we used to get from NA 10 years ago?

Of course, I will do a more rigorous analysis of this later. Pleased with the international flavor of things, but hoping to raise the bar through the promotion of homegrown elite talent.

Event: 2012 Laramie Daze
 

I've seen the NAOC long in all its pre-production glory. It is impressive.

Check out the latest NAOC tweet! (It is below, if you aren't a regular follower.) Very happy with this one.

While doing unexpected vetting today at Myrick, I felt a momentary feeling of saturation with orienteering. I have devoted so many hours to it this year, and across recent years. But, in an Ian-esque fashion, I censured myself for my weakness, and regained my mojo. I will continue to pursue great things.

The bear I saw was very large, and was galloping like a horse (in that you could feel/hear the impact of it bounding on a trajectory bisecting mine.)

Petr saw a different one. Nice.

Non-stop flight and fat car booked to Boggs. Total cash outlay=$60.

Nice. Very nice.
