The rain held off, the lemon pie from Marta was yummy, the FoxOrs all ran without a hitch, what more could one ask for the day after the Winter Solstice ?
This was the 2nd event in the current festival of RadiO events we have headed into. A total of 16 competitors competed in the full CombO (FoxOr + Street-O) or had a go at some of the FoxOrs. It was good to have a few newcomers give it a go. You still have to poke some street-O regulars into it a bit (eg. MJ), but they end up enjoying it and doing surprisingly well. Others managed to hide at the start and slunk off to do just a boring street-O (eg. TH / JG).
As well as the 20 street-O controls and 6 2m FoxOrs, I also had one 80m FoxOr you could get before or after the rest, so well done to those who left enough time to fit that in. Ewen, who was the only one who chose to do 80m first, was a bit disgruntled a couple followed him to the 80m FoxOr without carrying 80m sniffers themselves, hence gaining a slight advantage, but there’s not a lot I can do about that. I guess congrats to those who took that opportunity ! Having a street-O control very near probably didn’t help. It didn’t impact Ewen’s relative result anyway.
Those doing just the RadiO controls will score a bit lower of course, but I figured it wasn’t worth generating a seperate category. Congrats to Ian Dodd being the only one to get everything just within the 75minute time limit, scoring the maximum points of 128. Well done to Nathan Diggins who ventured out on his own for the first time, and considering he spent 45 of the 75 minutes quite lost he actually was doing well on the FoxOrs. Special mention should also go to Jenelle Templeton, who performs much better when Ewen isn’t anywhere nearby, and would have done a lot better if she’d got back on time.
Note Sarah Davies, Cath Sheahan and Mike Keen were all just going out to find 1 or 2 only to give it a try.
