Hello Everyone! The results are in for the 2007 Metrogaine. The format
was 29 possible controls and a 3 hour time limit in the downtown Boise
area including some of the Bench area. Proof of visiting the controls was
by correctly answering a multiple choice question when at the correct
location. I was expecting maybe one or two people to get all the controls
within the time limit and was very surprised to have several participants
complete all the controls, with Lee, Sergey, and Jay getting in well
before the cutoff. Lee was first overall and had an amazing time-
finishing at 2hr.13min. He said his bike odometer recorded 21 miles.
Sergey was first runner, and Renee' first Woman. There were some glitches
with the course setting which was done a month in advance. One of the
question subjects was removed by the property owner causing one
participant to knock on the door and ask the tenant, and several who asked
neighbors that were out in their yards. Also a couple of the locations on
the map were off by a block. Jason gets the "marathon man" award for
probably running at least 26 miles in his spiral course. He didn't know
about the time limit and got all the controls but unfortunately his 4 hour
finish eliminated all his points. All in all everyone had a good time and
we will learn from this event to make a bigger and better event next year!
Sergey's map with his actual course will be posted at the Yahoo group
photo section in the Metrogaine folder soon. Thanks to Kristen for
setting the Novice course, and Andy for his help as co-director.
