Just bunches of positive memories from NAOC.
The only downers, which were generally small, were during the relay...
(Dis) honorable mention:
Ross missing the last control! He had a great weekend, though, so I can't feel too badly for him. Sad for the rest of the guys.
1) One runner finished in a huff, and with expletives. Something about a control being down on the course. We were able to pry it out of him that it might have been #6 (which had the video camera/operator, and two epunch units.) Splits say he lost a lot of time on it. Every runner visited that control, and Tom went out to check it. Control was fine. This was a little strange, and may require a little more forensics.
2) Trevor Bray grabbed the womens' elite map, instead of his map. This is unfortunate, and I feel badly. There are obviously ways to further improve the distinctiveness of the maps, and we've discussed some creative solutions. Perhaps the coding on the back was too complicated/cryptic. Still, runners were briefed on the logistics beforehand, and ultimately it is their responsibility. But, we (or future organizers) can make this important task easier.
3) One other episode which was bizarre, and so far beyond the pale I couldn't believe it was happening. The only really sour note that besmirched the entire weekend, and while surprising, also consistent.

Really pleased with the number of survey responses. Hopefully, it wasn't onerous for people.
All feedback is much appreciated!

Am I lucky or good? Probably a little of both.
(Everything except the stuff in the blue border--new, ex post--was provided to the announcers on Thursday night. Nev can confirm this.)
