A regular meet with five courses on the southern half of the Rendija Canyon map.
National Orienteering Day! More than 50 people participated in Saturday's meet; more than 20 were first time orienteers. Thanks to all who came along. We had great weather: the rain held off until the last finisher was in (if not the last control collector). There were 5 courses (red was green with the masochism extended) in "Rendija South" starting and finishing at the Pajarito Trailhead. Dick and Judy Opsahl, Robi Mulford, and Damian Swift set courses. The intrepid vetters were Judy and Dick Opsahl, Una Smith (with William and James), Laura Hlinak (extra intrepidity points for close encounter with a rattlesnake), Mouser Williams (ditto even closer with a cactus), Bill Donahue, and Dave Scudder. The many people kind enough to help out at the start/finish, contribute food, and collect controls included Kathy Siebe, Mona and Bert Dennis, Dick Cooper, and David Barfield, as well as Dick, Judy, Laura, Una, William, James, Robi, Mouser, and Dave. Garth Reader mentored newcomers to orienteering. Damian Swift was meet director, so any administrative glitches were all his fault! Several people checked the wrong box and carelessly became new members: welcome to Avneet and Cindy Sood, Ken and Laura Mc Clellen, Jake Poston, and Karen and Greg Kendall. And Bill Donahue came up with an orienteering joke (and they said it couldn't be done...)
Please let us know if you think there might be a mistake - it can be tricky to juggle paying attention to starts and finishes with the arithmetic.

DNF indicates that the runner did not finish the course, usually because they missed one or more controls, or because they lost their control punch card during the race.
DSQ indicates that the runner was disqualified, usually because they punched an incorrect control (from another course) or they did not do the controls in the proper order.
