Schabarum Valentine Score-O February 15, 2004 Meet Director/Course Setter - Clare Durand A great crowd enjoyed the scout meet score-O course and the wonderful weather at Schabarum. And some of us even enjoyed pizza at Round Table afterward. This event is always pretty casual and a lot of fun. This year we had a few festive valentine balloons and the traditional kiss for every finisher. There were a total of 30 controls worth 555 points. Time limit was one hour. The penalty was 5 points for each of the first 5 minutes, 10 points per minute after that. Teams were officially OT after an hour and a half. 5 finishers made it to all 30 controls within the time limit. Blowing away any competition was Nathan Tharp, who cleaned the course in 37:28. The only Junior to complete the entire course was Noah Elhardt. The illustrious meet director went out for a little memory-o and although you won't see her result listed, she did manage to remember all 30 controls and return in under an hour. Of course the real winners aren't necessarily those at the top of the results, but the folks who stick around to get the candy. In the group categories, valentine hearts of Ferrero Rocher were awarded to Allan Pincus and Kim Wright, Peter Elhardt and his friend Nestor, Dieter and John Elhardt and the team of Stooges/Greenstein. In the individual categories Noah Elhardt, Twyla Elhardt, Bruce Corning, and Caroline Goulard walked away with solid chocolate hearts. There were plenty of sweethearts to go around to everyone else who volunteered or stayed for the awards. Special thanks to the Elhardts who made pick-up a breeze. They even planned their own groups and pick-up strategy so I could just relax and wait for the controls to come in. Thanks to all the volunteers!
