Summer Shorts and Sprints Race 5, Ruffey Lake – Results, Maps, Photos

We had a huge turnout on a lovely day at Ruffey Lake!  It can be hard to estimate how many maps we’ll need, so please help us out by pre-entering – especially if you have an Eventor account and are a regular orienteer.  This also makes it much quicker to process new entries, avoiding queues at Registration and again at Download.  Courses were planned by Ella, a member of the Junior Squad, and she did a great job.  Today’s main skills were accurate bearings and reading the contours – and making sure you checked your control numbers.

Each course had a different Hill Climb leg – for course 1, it was close to the end, from control 18 to 19. On course 2, it came right at the beginning, from control 1 to 2. And on course 3 it was between controls 2 and 3.   Our winners were James Robertson/Matthew Layton, who tied on course 1; Dion Keech on course 2, and Ben Greenhalgh on course 3.  If you didn’t collect your prize today, it will be waiting for you at Registration at the Melbourne City Race, or the next Summer Short and Sprint at Deakin Burwood on Saturday 23 November.

Congratulations to Frankie Shin, who won the final Random Draw prize of a free entry to the Melbourne City Race.
