Thanks to everyone who created a great day in the woods.  I had  good jog on the Brown course but got beat by a mysterious Thomas Chaaar.  Bob Burg, is this your orienteering alias or was it a group run with Chaaar.  The splits are identical.  Anyway, Thanks again.

Yes, seems like a bogus entry of some form.  Should be corrected or deleted since it will have an impact on the ranking points when they get calculated.  I did see Bob in the woods during his run at the end of the day and he appeared to be alone at that time.

Apparently Thomas Chaar is my alter ego -- the jury is still out on which of us is the evil twin. 

Thanks to all of you who hung in there for the event's final approval.  We got a really good turnout given the circumstances.  The weather certainly rewarded us, and special procedures didn't seem to cramp anyone's enthusiasm.

I especially appreciate our volunteer crew who made the extras so seamless and easy.  I'd like to introduce the members of the band:  Vadim for being in essence the Co-Event Director, Vadim, Sandy Fillebrown, and Kathy Urban on e-system, Jim Puzo and Pat and Bob Burton on Registration, Dave Urban and Dan Barker? on Start, Carol and Bob Fink, Dan and Zak, and Ed Scott on Checkpoint out in the woods, and finally on Pick-Up, Vadim, Ed, Dan and Zak, Eric Weyman, and our delightful Finnish visitors Tiina, Kari, and Jutta Jussila -- who I am sure our Jukola team will soon meet again.

If I missed anyone, please get in touch with Thomas Chaar.

Hope you all had a good time.
