Thanks to all who came out for another day in the woods. The morning started with a cool start and clear skies. 8 hours later, temps were in the 50’s and everyone’s legs were toast.
A huge thanks to Gary and Ellen Thompson for an amazing event.
A huge shoutout to the Lafayette ROTC for bringing a large crew and crushing all those hills!
Detailed, control by control results can be found in below.
Thanks to everyone who helped put on this meet. It was a huge team effort once again to get so many racers through the event successfully. 46 people toed the line as individuals or groups to take on one of the four courses offered. Of course, there was also the GROM award which was given to the racer who bested both the blue course and then went out for a 90 minute score o with 33 CP options. Congrats to The Ukranian for taking this year’s rock.

The inaugural West Tyson Poker-O was a hit! Hit me again everyone said…..so we might do just that…….next year, that is. We didn’t know we had a club full of gamblers! They braved freezing temps, ice, and sliding rocks just to get in a card game. We thankful that all made it back safely except for this poor fella:
Here are the results of the O -Game. Bryan Niehaus nearly swept the whole event but card shark, Jeff Adams, swooped in and slammed down a Full House! Congrats to everyone who had the free time to enjoy in the experience. We hope to do more of these spontaneous, fun O-adventures for our valued members. If you have any ideas or would like to direct an event, just let us know!
