Auckland Summer Series - race 1

fraser Posted: 31 October 2001, 4:15 AM   Auckland Domain 30 October 2001 Summer Series 2001/2002 It's a bit nerve racking starting up the Summer Series again. There are so many of you that we haven't heard from or seen for 6 months and we don't know if you'll be back. You were and that's just great. (150 maps sold tonight) Welcome to the new Summer Series. A special welcome too to the newcomers tonight. We do hope you enjoyed yourselves and will be returning to become 'old hands' as the season progresses. Did anyone watch the new inovation for this season? That is the Park Race. After a very successful Aucklanfd Champs Park Race and the new Park Race at the World Champs in Tampere, Finland (in which Rob Jessop was placed 34th) we thought we'd like to try it in the Summer Series. It is simple orienteering done at very high speed. This week only the very top orienteers had a go but I'm sure others will have a go at subsequent events. It was an exciting race with quite a major order change during the 2nd circuit. There will be more details and the points that the elites award themselves on the webpage www.maptalk.co.nz. There is to be another next week, so watch out for them as they come at high speed through the start finish area. They will be starting about 6.15. Sorry to those who could not find XW - if you were early in the day then you just need to orienteer more carefully but those later in the evening had a hard job as the control disappeared. We had a good look for it and this usually turns up missing controls, hiding up a nearby tree, but no luck tonight. Next week we are on Mt Eden, starting at Tahaki Reserve which is on Mt Eden Rd quite close to the road to the summit. Look forward to seeing you there.
