Event report: MTBO 1

A very fine and breezy morning in Swanbourne for the first bike orienteering of the season: 2h to collect a maximum of 60 controls.

Thanks to Duncan Sullivan for converting the map to MTBO standards. The map sorted and MapRun for punching made an easy job for the setter.

Well done to Ricky for clearing the course in record time, and to Veronika Vavrova first female. Amongst the youngsters Joseph Coleman narrowly beat Quinn Lommers. The key here was not being late and apparently using a smaller bike (!).

Special mention to Jennifer Porter and Mark Lommers for running the course. They both beat all the cyclists on the number of points collected per kilometre (52 pts/km for Jen, and 48 pts/km for Mark).

A big thank you to Hadrien for setting the event. And thank you to all the control collectors!

Corrected results are on Eventor, see map with route choices on MapRun.
